Looking for CIS Benchmark v4 Script for Windows 11 Pro Standalone Machine Hardening Help?

Hey folks,

I'm trying to harden a few standalone Windows 11 Pro machines (not joined to a domain), and I want to follow the CIS Benchmark v4.0 as closely as possible. I’ve gone through the official CIS docs, but applying everything manually via GPO or local settings is super time-consuming.

Has anyone here already built or used a working PowerShell script (or any kind of automation) that aligns with the CIS Windows 11 Pro v4 guidelines? Even partial implementations would help a lot I can tweak or build on top of it.

I’m mainly looking for:

PowerShell scripts to apply local security policies

Registry tweaks based on CIS controls

Any open-source tools or GitHub repos you trust

Tips on what not to enable (e.g., settings that break usability or cause weird bugs)


This is for a personal project / lab environment, but I'd still like to stick as close to the benchmark as possible. If you’ve done something similar or have good resources, I'd really appreciate your help!

Thanks in advance
