Enterprise Readiness Assessment

When to Use

Production/enterprise readiness evaluations
Supply chain security: SLSA provenance, cosign signing, SBOMs
CI/CD hardening, workflow permissions
OpenSSF Best Practices (Passing/Silver/Gold), OSPS Baseline (L1/2/3)
Scorecard optimization (Token-Permissions, Branch-Protection, Pinned-Deps)
Code review, ADRs, changelogs, SECURITY.md

Assessment Workflow

Discovery: Identify platform, languages, existing CI/CD, dependabot.yml
Scoring: Apply checklists; check Scorecard, badge criteria, coverage
Gap Analysis: List missing controls by severity
Implementation: Apply fixes (SHA-pin actions, harden permissions, add workflows)
Verification: Re-score and compare

Mandatory Workflows & Badges

Coverage required: CI, CodeQL, OpenSSF Scorecard, dependency review, security (composer audit + SBOM). Each may be a dedicated .github/workflows/<name>.yml OR a job that calls the netresearch reusable workflow. Badges: CI, Codecov, Scorecard, Best Practices, Baseline. See references/badges-and-workflows.md.

Key Hardening Patterns

Permissions: Declare permissions: contents: read at workflow-level; grant write only per-job
SHA pinning: Third-party actions pinned to SHA with version comment (# v4.2.0). Org-internal reusable workflows use @main
Harden-Runner: step-security/harden-runner as first step in every job; prefer egress-policy: block with allowed-endpoints
Dependabot: Configure dependabot.yml with all ecosystems (composer, npm, github-actions, docker); set up auto-merge workflow for dependency PRs using pull_request_target
Coverage: Upload via codecov-action; configure codecov.yml with patch coverage threshold
Duplicate CI prevention: Scope push: trigger to branches: [main] when pull_request: is also present
SLSA provenance: Use actions/attest-build-provenance with id-token: write and attestations: write permissions; verify with gh attestation verify
Security policy: Create SECURITY.md with vulnerability disclosure process and response SLA (Critical: 7 days, High: 30 days)

Critical Rules

NEVER interpolate ${{ github.event.* }} or ${{ inputs.* }} in run: blocks (script injection)
NEVER guess action versions -- fetch from GitHub API and verify SHA against tags
ALWAYS include https:// URLs in badge justifications
ALWAYS configure auto-merge for repos with Dependabot/Renovate
