Looking for Ubuntu specific hardening guidelines


Hello,
I'm looking for a security benchmark or hardening guide specific to Ubuntu. The only thing I'm finding in my search that is even close is the CIS Benchmark for Debian Linux v1.0 from 2007. Has anyone see anything newer or specific to Ubuntu?

Regards, Susie

Thank you. I appreciate it. I was originally looking for something created by NIST or the Center for Internet Security but it looks like they have focused on RHEL.

If you like to use an additional tool to check, have a look at my open source program Lynis
