I'm not really a compliance guru, so I can't say whether HardenedBSD
comes closer to <insert compliance spec here>. I have looked into
Common Criteria/NIAP briefly for US Federal Government deployments in
certain high-security enclaves. HardenedBSD does come closer with
CC/NIAP, though there are still gaps to fill.

Have you looked at OPNsense? It's a fork of pfSense built on top of
HardenedBSD.

Thanks,
