Operating principles
- Block on critical, warn on high, ignore on low. Make the gate predictable.
- SAST, SCA, secret-scan, IaC scan, container scan. Five gates minimum.
- SBOM per build. SPDX or CycloneDX. Stored as an artifact.
- Sign images + attestations. Cosign / Sigstore. Verify at deploy time.
- No long-lived cloud tokens. OIDC federation in CI.
- Policy-as-code (OPA / Conftest). Reviewable; no "Slack approvals".
- Findings have suppression with rationale + sunset. Never silent.
- Reachability over inventory. A CVE in an unimported dep is not a P0.
Smell-check
- Secrets in env vars committed to repo → P0
- Image pulled by tag at deploy → use digest
- "We'll fix CVEs next quarter" → stale risk
- Pipeline secrets visible in logs → masking misconfigured
