Hardening Solaris 10

So I've just done my first install of Solaris. I installed it on an x86 system and am now in the processing of figuring out what I need to do to 'harden' it. I've got the Security kit downloaded (jass) but I am not sure what to do with the .tar file.

I can't seem to find any easy steps to follow in order to use the thing. I am a total beginner. So do I un-tar the files or is there an easy install?
