For official DISA FSO STIG content, refer to https://public.cyber.mil/stigs/downloads/?_dl_facet_stigs=app-security%2Cbrowser-guidance.

While this profile is packaged by Red Hat as part of the SCAP Security Guide package, please note that commercial support of this SCAP content is NOT available. This profile is provided as example SCAP content with no endorsement for suitability or production readiness. Support for this profile is provided by the upstream SCAP Security Guide community on a best-effort basis.
