A critical infrastructure environment faced increasing pressure from fast-evolving security requirements and regulatory frameworks. Existing system hardening was inconsistent, relying on manually executed scripts across Windows desktops, often applied unevenly.
This led to security gaps, a lack of auditability and configuration drift. The internal IT team, already stretched thin, struggled to keep pace with frequent OS and patch updates while managing a growing number of endpoints across multiple network zones.
This switch made sure every device followed the rules all the time and removed the need for manual work.
Stronger security, less work
XOAP’s Configuration Module replaced the manual and patchy system hardening approach with a central, automated solution. Instead of using inconsistent scripts, a clear and standard setup based on trusted guidelines like CIS Benchmarks, STIGs and Windows LAPS was created and applied automatically across all Windows devices.
It uses PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC) to watch over the settings and fix any changes quietly in the background.
It fits smoothly with Microsoft SCCM, the team didn’t have to change their current deployment tools, which made the rollout faster and lowered the chance of mistakes. and Windows LAPS was created and applied automatically across all Windows devices.
Windows LAPS was created and applied automatically across all Windows devices.
The IT team was able to spend less time on routine tasks and have better visibility and control.
The system made it easier to handle more devices securely and prepares the way for adding new features like software updates and patching.
With XOAP, you can apply security policies automatically to all devices, keeping configurations consistent, secure and easy to manage.
Added value for consistent security compliance
Consistent setup across all Windows devices, regardless of location, leads to easier management and fewer issues.
Security you can count on
Every Windows device locks into the same strong settings automatically, cutting blind spots and easing audits.

Built for integration & growth
Works perfectly with SCCM and allows easy addition of new modules such as software deployment and patching. Scale your IT environment over time without interrupting your existing processes.
Zero overhead
No additional effort required from administrators – XOAP runs fully automated in the background. This lets IT teams focus on other important tasks without worrying about manual security updates.
Workload reduction
The IT team experiences less manual work, allowing them to concentrate on high-impact projects and critical priorities. With more time available, they can focus on improving systems and preventing issues before they arise.
