RedHawk Linux doesn't have a STIG or common criteria, so not sure what 
security configuration guides (if any) are available.

If the RHEL STIGs can be applied to it, akin to CentOS, the 
ComplianceAsCode user guide might be helpful:

Specifically remediation section:

Not sure how RedHawk works. If they're layering RedHawk software ontop 
of Red Hat instances, then you'd have a Red Hat subscription for every 
node (and could ask Red Hat support). If RedHawk is distributing their 
own independent linux distro, it'd be appropriate to query them about 
package management.
