Interesting, FreeBSD/PcBSD is not on the list. is it due to lesser popularity?

There are NO BSD's on the list. I suspect this is due to a few things.

1) How many people actually use BSD in a production environment?

2) If you are the sort to actually use BSD in a production internet-facing environment, you are probably using OpenBSD and you are probably already so paranoid about security the NSA has nothing left to teach you

BSDs get used a lot in production environments, even in DoD, but they're usually embedded in devices or otherwise certified and managed as a specific product, not as a general purpose operating system.

There is one for freebsd here: http://benchmarks.cisecurity.org/en-us/?route=downloads.mult...
