Hi Theresa,

have a look at this doc:

https://benchmarks.cisecurity.org/tools2/linux/CIS_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_6_Benchmark_v1.3.0.pdf

I was also curious and found the explanation in page 5:

Scored:
Failure to comply with "Scored" recommendations will decrease the final
benchmark score. Compliance with "Scored" recommendations will increase the
final benchmark score.

Not Scored:
Failure to comply with "Not Scored" recommendations will not decrease the
final benchmark score. Compliance with "Not Scored" recommendations will
not increase the final benchmark score.


Regarding your other question, I am not sure why you don't have alerts, are
you sure you added the right config in ossec.conf? Something like
<system_audit>path_to_your_cis_rules</system_audit>, remember it needs to
be added for the agents.

Best
