Hi Maros,
Thinking outside the box....Would it be possible to use the scap-workbench and the NIST XCCDF files to scan a windows host on the network.
Regards, Jim
Hi Jim,
Ad windows systems: Primary goal of this project is to run on Linux systems and unfortunately, we don't have enough manpower to work on compatibility issues right now. Ad network: SCAP Workbench is a GUI tool for local tailor/scan/edit actions and has no network capabilities. We will probably aim some network management tool with open-scap "oscap" project to perform scans over network in the future. You can do it by executing oscap binaries on remote machines but we don't provide any network layer.
Regards, Maros

To clarify a little...the scap-workbench project depends on openscap to provide SCAP services. Our primary platform is Linux. However, the code is written to be compiled on other platforms. All that is needed is to write the probes for OVAL. There are people working on porting openscap to solaris and some work has even been done on freebsd. However, no one has helped write the probes for Windows. We can show how to do it, but we are not actively doing it. Without the OVAL probes, openscap can parse and use OVAL results from another scanner on the windows platform. We know that openscap compiles on windows and give instructions here:

We just need someone to contribute probes and then the bottom layer would work.
