What it does

SCC-01

Protocol control

Enable or disable SSL 2.0 through TLS 1.3 independently for Client and Server roles. Clear insecure flags on anything that should not be running in a production environment.

SCC-02

Cipher suite ordering

Full Windows SCHANNEL cipher list with strength classification. Click any row to toggle. Exported PowerShell sets the priority order via the Cryptography policy key, no Group Policy editor required.

SCC-03

Six built-in templates

Best Practices (NIST SP 800-52 Rev 2), CIS Benchmark L1 / L2, Genetec Security Center 5.11+, PCI DSS 4.0, FIPS 140-3, and Windows Default. One click, everything configured.

SCC-04

PowerShell and REG export

Generate a deployable .ps1 or importable .reg file from any configuration. Every export includes author, version, and copyright header. Copy to clipboard or download directly.

SCC-05

Genetec-aware

Dedicated Genetec SC 5.11+ template tuned for Security Center deployments. Accounts for mixed Omnicast environments where legacy Archivers are still in the field.

SCC-06

Portable EXE, zero install

Single portable executable. Drop it on a USB, a technician share, or a jump server. UAC elevation is built into the manifest. No installer, no registry entries for the app itself.
