●●●BangerSolve My ProblemShip ItSlick

Turns tedious 50-page CIS PDFs into 60-second compliance scores with runnable remediation scripts.

Strengths
  • Removes toil from a painful, repetitive task (manual CIS audits)—25-year veteran's genuine pain point solved.
  • Read-only audit script + in-browser analysis = transparent, trustworthy flow with no blind data storage.
  • Generates actionable PowerShell with rollback commands and plain-English impact notes, reducing risk vs. manual fixes.
Weaknesses
  • Currently Windows-only (roadmap mentions AD/ESXi/Azure but not shipped); Linux/macOS administrators can't use this yet.
  • Pricing model ties value to scan volume, not users—teams managing 100+ servers may balk at per-month tiers.
Category
Target Audience

Windows Server administrators, cybersecurity engineers, and enterprise IT teams managing compliance audits.

Post Description

I spent 25 years as an enterprise IT admin and cybersecurity engineer. In that time I've manually worked through CIS Benchmark compliance on Windows Server more times than I want to count — open the PDF, check each control in gpedit/secedit/registry, write remediation scripts by hand. Days of work per server, every time.

I built JVBar to automate both halves: the assessment and the remediation.

How it works: - A read-only PowerShell script (Get-* cmdlets + secedit /export, no writes) collects the server config - The engine compares it against 50 CIS Benchmark controls for Windows Server 2022/2025 and scores compliance 0-100 - For each failed control it generates a remediation script with rollback commands and a plain-English impact note

Currently covers Windows Server 2019, 2022, 2025 and Windows 11. More controls and platforms (Active Directory, VMware ESXi, Azure) on the roadmap.

Pricing: Free tier (3 scans/day), $29/mo Pro (unlimited + remediation scripts), $99/mo Team. 90% off for first 20 customers.

The audit script source will be on GitHub shortly.

Bundles page-level WCAG checks, script/form detection for privacy gaps, AI-generated policy drafts and heuristic scanning of marketing copy into one agency-friendly flow. Fast report generation and white-label/partner features are smart business moves — the real question is signal quality (false positives) and how well the AI rules survive real-world edge cases.
