Policy examples

Fail on critical vulns

Block any CI/CD pipeline that introduces critical or high-severity vulnerabilities with no known fix.

License compliance

Enforce license policies. Block dependencies with GPL if your project is MIT-licensed.

SLA enforcement

Escalate if critical vulnerabilities remain unpatched beyond your defined SLA window.

Policy in action

Rules are evaluated in real-time during every scan. Results appear in CI/CD logs, dashboard notifications, and email alerts.

  • Write rules in simple YAML — no programming required
  • Test policies against historical scan data before enabling
  • Per-project or org-wide policy inheritance
  • Override policies for specific packages (with audit trail)
