Playbook Repository Security Assessment

Repository Security Assessment

This page is explanatory. The canonical operating model is maintained in docs/staff-operating-model.md.

Objective

Assess a repository for security-relevant design, implementation, dependency, and workflow risks.

Inputs

• repository URL or local path
• scope focus (for example: authz, secrets handling, CI, supply chain)
• supporting docs or known constraints

SMEs involved

Typically security-code-review, security-architecture, security-appsec-assessment, and security-qa.

Flow

1. intake and scoping
2. repo mapping and high-signal surface selection
3. code/config/document review
4. cross-SME synthesis
5. QA

Gates

• scope qualification
• evidence sufficiency
• QA pass before final report

Outputs

• findings and observations
• architecture or code risks
• remediation priorities
• assumptions and residual risk

Limitations

Repo-only analysis may not reveal runtime-effective behavior.

Sanitized example

Review a public multi-service repo for authz boundary gaps and risky operational defaults.
