Description

Address OSPS-VM-05.02 baseline requirement.

Requirement: While active, the project documentation MUST include a policy to address SCA violations prior to any release.

Recommendation: Document a policy in the project to address applicable Software Composition Analysis results before any release, and add status checks that verify compliance with that policy prior to release.

Control applies to: Maturity Level 3

Research direction

Document how applicable SCA violations are addressed before releases, and add status checks that verify compliance. Done means the policy is documented and release compliance is automatically checked.
