HighFile-scope Plug & play

Generate and verify SBOM; fail build on critical CVEs

Produce an SBOM (e.g., SPDX/CycloneDX) during CI and block releases if SCA finds CVEs ≥ High severity or disallowed licenses.

Why this matters

Supply chain visibility and vulnerability remediation are SOC 2 expectations.

Side-by-side examples engineers can pattern-match during review.

Avoid

ci: skip dependency scan

Prefer

ci: sbom > build.sbom && sca --fail-on-severity High --sbom build.sbom

Good

sca --fail-on-severity High

Bad

sca --ignore-all

From the same buckets as this rule.

Critical
Encrypt sensitive data at rest with KMS and rotate keys
Use envelope encryption (AES-256-GCM) with cloud KMS-managed CMKs for databases, object storage, and backups. Rotate CMKs at least annually and rotate DEKs per object/file.

Critical
Enforce TLS 1.2+ and HSTS on all external endpoints
Public services must require TLSv1.2 or higher and set HSTS (max-age ≥ 15552000, includeSubDomains). Reject plaintext HTTP and weak ciphers; cookies must be Secure and HttpOnly with SameSite set.

Critical
Use a secrets manager and 90-day rotation policy
All credentials (API keys, DB passwords, tokens) must be stored in a secrets manager with automatic rotation ≤ 90 days; forbid hardcoded or .env-committed secrets via CI checks.
