Security & Compliance Infrastructure

Short summary

Security & Compliance Infrastructure covers how license, vulnerability, and SBOM concerns are integrated into S-CORE engineering workflows.

Why this area matters in S-CORE

Safety and compliance stakeholders need transparent and traceable infrastructure controls. Engineering teams need practical workflows that keep these concerns part of normal delivery work.

Scope

  • license scanning integration
  • vulnerability scanning and triage workflows
  • SBOM generation and consumption expectations
  • compliance-related reporting inputs

Boundaries / what is not covered here

  • formal compliance certification claims beyond documented implementation
  • repository-specific secure coding guidance
  • incident response ownership outside compliance workflows

Main tools and technologies

  • workflow-integrated license and dependency scanning
  • vulnerability scanning and triage tooling
  • SBOM generation tooling and artifact metadata flows
  • GitHub-native security capabilities where enabled

Current state

Controls are used in parts of the infrastructure, but rollout and reporting maturity are incomplete. This area remains under active development.

Key work packages

  • improve license scanning rollout consistency
  • improve vulnerability triage ownership and process clarity
  • define shared SBOM usage and reporting expectations
  • strengthen compliance reporting paths for stakeholders

How contributors can help

  • improve compliance automation in reusable workflows
  • document triage decisions and ownership boundaries
  • improve SBOM generation and consumption guidance
  • reduce manual compliance data collection steps
