!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is a [NIST Special Publication] titled as National Checklist Program for [IT] Products – Guidelines for Checklist Users and Developers.

!! Abstract
A [security] configuration checklist is a document that contains instructions or procedures for configuring an [Information Technology] (IT) product to an operational environment, for verifying that the product has been configured properly, and/or for identifying unauthorized changes to the product. Using these checklists can minimize the [attack] surface, reduce [vulnerabilities|Vulnerability], lessen the impact of successful attacks, and identify changes that might otherwise go undetected. To facilitate development of checklists and to make checklists more organized and usable, [NIST] established the [National Checklist Program] ([NCP]).

This publication explains how to use the NCP to find and retrieve checklists, and it also describes the
policies, procedures, and general requirements for participation in the NCP.
