NORTH IMAGE CONTRIBUTES
A controlled starting point.
- A repeatable hardened operating-system starting point
- Product-specific configuration and support scope
- A shortlist across OS family, version, and architecture
Framework-specific AWS images / Foundation Level 2
Foundation Level 2 AWS Hardened Images
North hardened AWS images for teams applying a stronger internal operating-system security posture across Linux and Windows workloads.
REQUIREMENT / IMAGE LAYER
Use the framework to frame the decision—not to overstate the outcome.
Foundation Level 2 supports teams that need a more demanding image-layer posture while preserving an explicit boundary between the published image and the complete system.
YOUR PROGRAM RETAINS
The complete system decision.
- Compatibility testing under the real workload
- Controls outside the operating-system image
- Evidence, assessment, and final acceptance
CLAIM BOUNDARY
Foundation Level 2 support does not equal system-wide approval.
Confirm the exact product’s scope and applicability. A North image does not independently confer certification, compliance, accreditation, validation, or authorization for the surrounding customer system.
