I'm pretty surprised about the notability question. While this article could use a lot of work, DISA STIGs are pretty notable by both Wikipedia's definition and everyone else's. It is very prominent within the U.S. Government and especially military. In fact its use is mandatory in many cases. A quick search on google will show both how popular and numerous 3rd party references. Luisnunez (talk) 17:17, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. STIGs are not just notable in US government and DoD but also in commercial security sectors. The guides can be used for security hardening in may different regulated segments of the critical infrastructure. Rglennpascual (talk) 01:58, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

         This links to http://iase.disa.mil/stigs/Pages/index.html, which leads to a

         http://iase.disa.mil/stigs/Pages/index.aspx, this does exist.
         The link to disa.mil is referenced twice: also under "Tools"
