TrikuSec Documentation

Welcome to the TrikuSec documentation!

TrikuSec is a centralized Linux server auditing and compliance management platform built on Lynis. It collects, stores, and analyzes security audit reports from multiple Linux servers in one place, enabling centralized monitoring and policy compliance management across your infrastructure.

Use Cases

TrikuSec is ideal for:

  • Security Compliance Monitoring: Ensure servers meet security policies and regulatory requirements
  • Infrastructure Auditing: Track security posture across multiple servers from a single dashboard
  • Change Tracking: Monitor changes between audit runs to identify security drift
  • Policy Enforcement: Automatically evaluate compliance against organizational policies
  • Centralized Reporting: Single point of visibility for all server audits across your infrastructure

Security Philosophy

TrikuSec is designed with security as the top priority. We believe that security monitoring tools should never compromise the security of the systems they monitor.

Key Principles:

  • Read-Only: TrikuSec only receives data—no commands are sent or run on your servers.
  • No Agents: Only Lynis is needed on servers; no extra daemons or proprietary software.
  • Server Independence: TrikuSec does not control or alter your systems.

This approach improves monitoring without added risk.
