Description

https://best.openssf.org/SCM-BestPractices/ relates heavily to many controls in the baseline. I propose we better illustrate that relationship by making the following changes

  • Update the doc above to reference the Baseline controls these recommendations align to
  • Consider updating the baseline framework references to include mappings from Baseline controls back to this guidance

Research direction

Start by reading the SCM Best Practices guide at https://best.openssf.org/SCM-BestPractices/ and the repository's baseline controls. Identify the relevant controls and document mappings from the guide to the Baseline, then assess whether the framework references can map back; done means both requested mapping directions are addressed.
