+ 
+description: |-
+    This profile contains configuration checks for Oracle Linux 8
+    that align to the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) Information Security Manual (ISM).
+ 
+    The ISM uses a risk-based approach to cyber security. This profile provides a guide to aligning
+    Oracle Linux security controls with the ISM, which can be used to select controls
+    specific to an organisation's security posture and risk profile.
+ 
+    A copy of the ISM can be found at the ACSC website:
