## Security Policies project
NOTE:
We recommend using the [Security Policies project](#security-policies-project)
exclusively for managing policies for the project. Do not add your application's source code to such
projects.
The Security Policies feature is a repository to store policies. All security policies are stored in
the `.gitlab/security-policies/policy.yml` YAML file. The format for this YAML is specific to the type of policy that is being stored there. Examples and schema information are available for the following policy types:
- [Scan execution policy](scan-execution-policies.md#example-security-policies-project)
- [Scan result policy](scan-result-policies.md#example-security-scan-result-policies-project)
Policies created in this project are applied through a background job that runs once every 10
minutes. Allow up to 10 minutes for any policy changes committed to this project to take effect.
## Security Policy project selection
NOTE:
Only project Owners have the [permissions](../../permissions.md#project-members-permissions)
to select Security Policy Project.
When the Security Policy project is created and policies are created within that repository, you
must create an association between that project and the project you want to apply policies to:
1. On the top bar, select **Menu > Projects** and find your project.
1. On the left sidebar, select **Security & Compliance > Policies**.
1. Select **Edit Policy Project**, and search for and select the
project you would like to link from the dropdown menu.
1. Select **Save**.

### Unlink Security Policy projects
Project owners can unlink Security Policy projects from development projects. To do this, follow
the steps described in [Security Policy project selection](#security-policy-project-selection),
but select the trash can icon in the modal.
## Scan execution policies
Project owners can use scan execution policies to require that security scans run on a specified
schedule or with the project pipeline. Required scans are injected into the CI pipeline as new jobs
with a long, random job name. In the unlikely event of a job name collision, the security policy job
overwrites any pre-existing job in the pipeline.
This feature has some overlap with [compliance framework pipelines](../../project/settings/#compliance-pipeline-configuration),
as we have not [unified the user experience for these two features](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/7312).
For details on the similarities and differences between these features, see
[Enforce scan execution](../#enforce-scan-execution).
### Scan Execution Policy editor
NOTE:
Only project Owners have the [permissions](../../permissions.md#project-members-permissions)
to select Security Policy Project.
Once your policy is complete, save it by selecting **Create via merge request**
at the bottom of the editor. You are redirected to the merge request on the project's
configured security policy project. If one does not link to your project, a security
policy project is automatically created. Existing policies can also be
removed from the editor interface by selecting **Delete policy**
at the bottom of the editor.
![Scan Execution Policy Editor YAML Mode](img/scan_execution_policy_yaml_mode_v14_7.png)
The policy editor currently only supports the YAML mode. The Rule mode is tracked in the [Allow Users to Edit Rule-mode Scan Execution Policies in the Policy UI](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/5363) epic.
### Scan Execution Policies Schema
The YAML file with Scan Execution Policies consists of an array of objects matching Scan Execution Policy Schema nested under the `scan_execution_policy` key. You can configure a maximum of 5 policies under the `scan_execution_policy` key.
When you save a new policy, GitLab validates its contents against [this JSON schema](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/ee/app/validators/json_schemas/security_orchestration_policy.json).
If you're not familiar with how to read [JSON schemas](https://json-schema.org/),
the following sections and tables provide an alternative.
| Field | Type | Possible values | Description |
|-------|------|-----------------|-------------|
| `scan_execution_policy` | `array` of Scan Execution Policy | | List of scan execution policies (maximum 5) |
### Scan Execution Policy Schema
| Field | Type | Possible values | Description |
|-------|------|-----------------|-------------|
| `name` | `string` | | Name of the policy. |
| `description` (optional) | `string` | | Description of the policy. |
| `enabled` | `boolean` | `true`, `false` | Flag to enable (`true`) or disable (`false`) the policy. |
| `rules` | `array` of rules | | List of rules that the policy applies. |
| `actions` | `array` of actions | | List of actions that the policy enforces. |
### `pipeline` rule type
This rule enforces the defined actions whenever the pipeline runs for a selected branch.
| Field | Type | Possible values | Description |
|-------|------|-----------------|-------------|
| `type` | `string` | `pipeline` | The rule's type. |
| `branches` | `array` of `string` | `*` or the branch's name | The branch the given policy applies to (supports wildcard). |
### `schedule` rule type
This rule enforces the defined actions and schedules a scan on the provided date/time.
| Field | Type | Possible values | Description |
|------------|------|-----------------|-------------|
| `type` | `string` | `schedule` | The rule's type. |
| `branches` | `array` of `string` | `*` or the branch's name | The branch the given policy applies to (supports wildcard). |
| `cadence` | `string` | CRON expression (for example, `0 0 * * *`) | A whitespace-separated string containing five fields that represents the scheduled time. |
| `clusters` | `object` | | The cluster where the given policy enforces running selected scans (only for `container_scanning`/`cluster_image_scanning` scans). The key of the object is the name of the Kubernetes cluster configured for your project in GitLab. In the optionally provided value of the object, you can precisely select Kubernetes resources that are scanned. |
#### `cluster` schema
Use this schema to define `clusters` objects in the [`schedule` rule type](#schedule-rule-type).
| Field | Type | Possible values | Description |
|--------------|---------------------|--------------------------|-------------|
| `containers` | `array` of `string` | | The container name that is scanned (only the first value is currently supported). |
| `resources` | `array` of `string` | | The resource name that is scanned (only the first value is currently supported). |
| `namespaces` | `array` of `string` | | The namespace that is scanned (only the first value is currently supported). |
| `kinds` | `array` of `string` | `deployment`/`daemonset` | The resource kind that should be scanned (only the first value is currently supported). |
### `scan` action type
This action executes the selected `scan` with additional parameters when conditions for at least one
rule in the defined policy are met.
| Field | Type | Possible values | Description |
|-------|------|-----------------|-------------|
| `scan` | `string` | `dast`, `secret_detection`, `sast`, `container_scanning`, `cluster_image_scanning` | The action's type. |
| `site_profile` | `string` | Name of the selected [DAST site profile](../dast/index.md#site-profile). | The DAST site profile to execute the DAST scan. This field should only be set if `scan` type is `dast`. |
| `scanner_profile` | `string` or `null` | Name of the selected [DAST scanner profile](../dast/index.md#scanner-profile). | The DAST scanner profile to execute the DAST scan. This field should only be set if `scan` type is `dast`.|
| `variables` | `object` | | Set of variables applied and enforced for the selected scan. The object's key is the variable name with a value provided as a string. |
Note the following:
- You must create the [site profile](../dast/index.md#site-profile) and [scanner profile](../dast/index.md#scanner-profile)
with selected names for each project that is assigned to the selected Security Policy Project.
Otherwise, the policy is not applied and a job with an error message is created instead.
- Once you associate the site profile and scanner profile by name in the policy, it is not possible
to modify or delete them. If you want to modify them, you must first disable the policy by setting
the `active` flag to `false`.
- When configuring policies with a scheduled DAST scan, the author of the commit in the security
policy project's repository must have access to the scanner and site profiles. Otherwise, the scan
is not scheduled successfully.
- For a secret detection scan, only rules with the default ruleset are supported. [Custom rulesets](../secret_detection/index.md#custom-rulesets)
are not supported.
- A secret detection scan runs in `normal` mode when executed as part of a pipeline, and in
[`historic`](../secret_detection/index.md#full-history-secret-detection)
mode when executed as part of a scheduled scan.
- A container scanning and cluster image scanning scans configured for the `pipeline` rule type ignores the cluster defined in the `clusters` object.
They use predefined CI/CD variables defined for your project. Cluster selection with the `clusters` object is supported for the `schedule` rule type.
Cluster with name provided in `clusters` object must be created and configured for the project. To be able to successfully perform the `container_scanning`/`cluster_image_scanning` scans for the cluster you must follow instructions for the [Cluster Image Scanning feature](../cluster_image_scanning/index.md#prerequisites).
- The SAST scan uses the default template and runs in a [child pipeline](../../../ci/pipelines/parent_child_pipelines.md).
### Example security policies project
You can use this example in a `.gitlab/security-policies/policy.yml`, as described in
[Security policies project](#security-policies-project).
```yaml
---
scan_execution_policy:
- name: Enforce DAST in every release pipeline
description: This policy enforces pipeline configuration to have a job with DAST scan for release branches
enabled: true
rules:
- type: pipeline
branches:
- release/*
actions:
- scan: dast
scanner_profile: Scanner Profile A
site_profile: Site Profile B
- name: Enforce DAST and secret detection scans every 10 minutes
description: This policy enforces DAST and secret detection scans to run every 10 minutes
enabled: true
rules:
- type: schedule
branches:
- main
cadence: "*/10 * * * *"
actions:
- scan: dast
scanner_profile: Scanner Profile C
site_profile: Site Profile D
- scan: secret_detection
- name: Enforce Secret Detection and Container Scanning in every default branch pipeline
description: This policy enforces pipeline configuration to have a job with Secret Detection and Container Scanning scans for the default branch
enabled: true
rules:
- type: pipeline
branches:
- main
actions:
- scan: secret_detection
- scan: sast
variables:
SAST_EXCLUDED_ANALYZERS: brakeman
- scan: container_scanning
- name: Enforce Cluster Image Scanning on production-cluster every 24h
description: This policy enforces Cluster Image Scanning scan to run every 24 hours
enabled: true
rules:
- type: schedule
cadence: "15 3 * * *"
clusters:
production-cluster:
containers:
- database
resources:
- production-application
namespaces:
- production-namespace
kinds:
- deployment
actions:
- scan: cluster_image_scanning
```
In this example:
- For every pipeline executed on branches that match the `release/*` wildcard (for example, branch
`release/v1.2.1`), DAST scans run with `Scanner Profile A` and `Site Profile B`.
- DAST and secret detection scans run every 10 minutes. The DAST scan runs with `Scanner Profile C`
and `Site Profile D`.
- Secret detection, container scanning, and SAST scans run for every pipeline executed on the `main`
branch. The SAST scan runs with the `SAST_EXCLUDED_ANALYZER` variable set to `"brakeman"`.
- Cluster Image Scanning scan runs every 24h. The scan runs on the `production-cluster` cluster and fetches vulnerabilities
from the container with the name `database` configured for deployment with the name `production-application` in the `production-namespace` namespace.
### Example for scan execution policy editor
You can use this example in the YAML mode of the [Scan Execution Policy editor](#scan-execution-policy-editor).
It corresponds to a single object from the previous example.
```yaml
name: Enforce Secret Detection and Container Scanning in every default branch pipeline
description: This policy enforces pipeline configuration to have a job with Secret Detection and Container Scanning scans for the default branch
enabled: true
rules:
- type: pipeline
branches:
- main
actions:
- scan: secret_detection
- scan: container_scanning
```
### Scan Result Policy editor
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/77814) in GitLab 14.8 with a flag named `scan_result_policy`. Disabled by default.
NOTE:
Only project Owners have the [permissions](../../permissions.md#project-members-permissions)
to select Security Policy Project.
Once your policy is complete, save it by selecting **Create merge request** at the bottom of the
editor. This redirects you to the merge request on the project's configured security policy project.
If a security policy project doesn't link to your project, GitLab creates such a project for you.
Existing policies can also be removed from the editor interface by selecting **Delete policy** at
the bottom of the editor.
The policy editor only supports YAML mode. To follow work on Rule mode, see the epic
[Allow Users to Edit Rule-mode Scan Result Policies in the Policy UI](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/5363).
![Scan Result Policy Editor YAML Mode](img/scan_result_policy_yaml_mode_v14_6.png)
### Scan Result Policies schema
The YAML file with Scan Result Policies consists of an array of objects matching the Scan Result
Policy schema nested under the `scan_result_policy` key. You can configure a maximum of five
policies under the `scan_result_policy` key.
When you save a new policy, GitLab validates its contents against [this JSON schema](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/ee/app/validators/json_schemas/security_orchestration_policy.json).
If you're not familiar with how to read [JSON schemas](https://json-schema.org/),
the following sections and tables provide an alternative.
| Field | Type | Possible values | Description |

| `rules` | `array` of rules | | List of rules that the policy applies. |
| `actions` | `array` of actions | | List of actions that the policy enforces. |
### `scan_finding` rule type
This rule enforces the defined actions based on the information provided.
| Field | Type | Possible values | Description |
|------------|------|-----------------|-------------|
| `type` | `string` | `scan_finding` | The rule's type. |
| `branches` | `array` of `string` | `*` or the branch's name | The branch the given policy applies to (supports wildcard). |
| `scanners` | `array` of `string` | `sast`, `secret_detection`, `dependency_scanning`, `container_scanning`, `dast`, `coverage_fuzzing`, `api_fuzzing` | The security scanners for this rule to consider. |
| `vulnerabilities_allowed` | `integer` | Greater than or equal to zero | Number of vulnerabilities allowed before this rule is considered. |
| `severity_levels` | `array` of `string` | `info`, `unknown`, `low`, `medium`, `high`, `critical`| The severity levels for this rule to consider. |
| `vulnerability_states` | `array` of `string` | `newly_detected`, `detected`, `confirmed`, `resolved`, `dismissed` | The vulnerability states for this rule to consider when the target branch is set to the default branch. |
### `require_approval` action type
This action sets an approval rule to be required when conditions are met for at least one rule in
the defined policy.
| Field | Type | Possible values | Description |
|-------|------|-----------------|-------------|
| `type` | `string` | `require_approval` | The action's type. |
| `approvals_required` | `integer` | Greater than or equal to zero | The number of MR approvals required. |

Requirements and limitations:
- You must add the respective [security scanning tools](../index.md#security-scanning-tools).
Otherwise, Scan Result Policies won't have any effect.
- The maximum number of policies is five.
- Each policy can have a maximum of five rules.
### Example security scan result policies project
You can use this example in a `.gitlab/security-policies/policy.yml`, as described in
[Security policies project](#security-policies-project):
```yaml
---
scan_result_policy:
- name: critical vulnerability CS approvals
description: critical severity level only for container scanning
enabled: true
rules:
- type: scan_finding
branches:
- main
scanners:
- container_scanning
vulnerabilities_allowed: 0
severity_levels:
- critical
vulnerability_states:
- newly_detected
actions:
- type: require_approval
approvals_required: 1
user_approvers:
- adalberto.dare
- name: secondary CS approvals
description: secondary only for container scanning
enabled: true
rules:
- type: scan_finding
branches:

severity_levels:
- low
- unknown
vulnerability_states:
- newly_detected
actions:
- type: require_approval
approvals_required: 1
user_approvers:
- sam.white
```
In this example:
- Every MR that contains new `critical` vulnerabilities identified by container scanning requires
one approval from `alberto.dare`.
- Every MR that contains more than one new `low` or `unknown` vulnerability identified by container
scanning requires one approval from `sam.white`.
### Example for Scan Result Policy editor
You can use this example in the YAML mode of the [Scan Result Policy editor](#scan-result-policy-editor).
It corresponds to a single object from the previous example:
```yaml
- name: critical vulnerability CS approvals

# Scan execution policies **(ULTIMATE)**
Project owners can use scan execution policies to require that security scans run on a specified
schedule or with the project pipeline. Required scans are injected into the CI pipeline as new jobs
with a long, random job name. In the unlikely event of a job name collision, the security policy job
overwrites any pre-existing job in the pipeline.
This feature has some overlap with [compliance framework pipelines](../../project/settings/#compliance-pipeline-configuration),
as we have not [unified the user experience for these two features](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/7312).

| `branches` | `array` of `string` | `*` or the branch's name | The branch the given policy applies to (supports wildcard). |
## `schedule` rule type
This rule enforces the defined actions and schedules a scan on the provided date/time.
| Field | Type | Possible values | Description |
|------------|------|-----------------|-------------|
| `type` | `string` | `schedule` | The rule's type. |
| `branches` | `array` of `string` | `*` or the branch's name | The branch the given policy applies to (supports wildcard). |
| `cadence` | `string` | CRON expression (for example, `0 0 * * *`) | A whitespace-separated string containing five fields that represents the scheduled time. |
| `clusters` | `object` | | The cluster where the given policy enforces running selected scans (only for `container_scanning`/`cluster_image_scanning` scans). The key of the object is the name of the Kubernetes cluster configured for your project in GitLab. In the optionally provided value of the object, you can precisely select Kubernetes resources that are scanned. |
### `cluster` schema
Use this schema to define `clusters` objects in the [`schedule` rule type](#schedule-rule-type).
| Field | Type | Possible values | Description |
|--------------|---------------------|--------------------------|-------------|
| `containers` | `array` of `string` | | The container name that is scanned (only the first value is currently supported). |
| `resources` | `array` of `string` | | The resource name that is scanned (only the first value is currently supported). |
| `namespaces` | `array` of `string` | | The namespace that is scanned (only the first value is currently supported). |
| `kinds` | `array` of `string` | `deployment`/`daemonset` | The resource kind that should be scanned (only the first value is currently supported). |
## `scan` action type
This action executes the selected `scan` with additional parameters when conditions for at least one
rule in the defined policy are met.
| Field | Type | Possible values | Description |
|-------|------|-----------------|-------------|
| `scan` | `string` | `dast`, `secret_detection`, `sast`, `container_scanning`, `cluster_image_scanning` | The action's type. |
| `site_profile` | `string` | Name of the selected [DAST site profile](../dast/index.md#site-profile). | The DAST site profile to execute the DAST scan. This field should only be set if `scan` type is `dast`. |
| `scanner_profile` | `string` or `null` | Name of the selected [DAST scanner profile](../dast/index.md#scanner-profile). | The DAST scanner profile to execute the DAST scan. This field should only be set if `scan` type is `dast`.|
| `variables` | `object` | | Set of variables applied and enforced for the selected scan. The object's key is the variable name with a value provided as a string. |
Note the following:
- You must create the [site profile](../dast/index.md#site-profile) and [scanner profile](../dast/index.md#scanner-profile)
with selected names for each project that is assigned to the selected Security Policy Project.
Otherwise, the policy is not applied and a job with an error message is created instead.
- Once you associate the site profile and scanner profile by name in the policy, it is not possible
to modify or delete them. If you want to modify them, you must first disable the policy by setting
the `active` flag to `false`.
- When configuring policies with a scheduled DAST scan, the author of the commit in the security
policy project's repository must have access to the scanner and site profiles. Otherwise, the scan
is not scheduled successfully.
- For a secret detection scan, only rules with the default ruleset are supported. [Custom rulesets](../secret_detection/index.md#custom-rulesets)
are not supported.
- A secret detection scan runs in `normal` mode when executed as part of a pipeline, and in
[`historic`](../secret_detection/index.md#full-history-secret-detection)
mode when executed as part of a scheduled scan.
- A container scanning and cluster image scanning scans configured for the `pipeline` rule type ignores the cluster defined in the `clusters` object.
They use predefined CI/CD variables defined for your project. Cluster selection with the `clusters` object is supported for the `schedule` rule type.
Cluster with name provided in `clusters` object must be created and configured for the project. To be able to successfully perform the `container_scanning`/`cluster_image_scanning` scans for the cluster you must follow instructions for the [Cluster Image Scanning feature](../cluster_image_scanning/index.md#prerequisites).
- The SAST scan uses the default template and runs in a [child pipeline](../../../ci/pipelines/parent_child_pipelines.md).
## Example security policies project
You can use this example in a `.gitlab/security-policies/policy.yml`, as described in
[Security policies project](index.md#security-policies-project).
```yaml
---
scan_execution_policy:
- name: Enforce DAST in every release pipeline
description: This policy enforces pipeline configuration to have a job with DAST scan for release branches
enabled: true
rules:
- type: pipeline
branches:
- release/*
actions:
- scan: dast
scanner_profile: Scanner Profile A
site_profile: Site Profile B
- name: Enforce DAST and secret detection scans every 10 minutes
description: This policy enforces DAST and secret detection scans to run every 10 minutes
enabled: true
rules:
- type: schedule
branches:
- main
cadence: "*/10 * * * *"
actions:
- scan: dast
scanner_profile: Scanner Profile C
site_profile: Site Profile D
- scan: secret_detection
- name: Enforce Secret Detection and Container Scanning in every default branch pipeline
description: This policy enforces pipeline configuration to have a job with Secret Detection and Container Scanning scans for the default branch
enabled: true
rules:
- type: pipeline
branches:
- main
actions:
- scan: secret_detection
- scan: sast
variables:
SAST_EXCLUDED_ANALYZERS: brakeman
- scan: container_scanning
- name: Enforce Cluster Image Scanning on production-cluster every 24h
description: This policy enforces Cluster Image Scanning scan to run every 24 hours
enabled: true
rules:
- type: schedule
cadence: "15 3 * * *"
clusters:
production-cluster:
containers:
- database
resources:
- production-application
namespaces:
- production-namespace
kinds:
- deployment
actions:
- scan: cluster_image_scanning
```
In this example:
- For every pipeline executed on branches that match the `release/*` wildcard (for example, branch
`release/v1.2.1`), DAST scans run with `Scanner Profile A` and `Site Profile B`.
- DAST and secret detection scans run every 10 minutes. The DAST scan runs with `Scanner Profile C`
and `Site Profile D`.
- Secret detection, container scanning, and SAST scans run for every pipeline executed on the `main`
branch. The SAST scan runs with the `SAST_EXCLUDED_ANALYZER` variable set to `"brakeman"`.
- Cluster Image Scanning scan runs every 24h. The scan runs on the `production-cluster` cluster and fetches vulnerabilities
from the container with the name `database` configured for deployment with the name `production-application` in the `production-namespace` namespace.
## Example for scan execution policy editor
You can use this example in the YAML mode of the [scan execution policy editor](#scan-execution-policy-editor).
It corresponds to a single object from the previous example.
```yaml
name: Enforce Secret Detection and Container Scanning in every default branch pipeline
description: This policy enforces pipeline configuration to have a job with Secret Detection and Container Scanning scans for the default branch
enabled: true
rules:
- type: pipeline
branches:
- main
actions:
- scan: secret_detection
- scan: container_scanning

# Scan result policies **(ULTIMATE)**
You can use scan result policies to take action based on scan results. For example, one type of scan
result policy is a security approval policy that allows approval to be required based on the
findings of one or more security scan jobs. Scan result policies are evaluated after a CI scanning
job is fully executed.
## Scan result policy editor
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/77814) in GitLab 14.8 with a flag named `scan_result_policy`. Disabled by default.
NOTE:
Only project Owners have the [permissions](../../permissions.md#project-members-permissions)
to select Security Policy Project.
Once your policy is complete, save it by selecting **Create merge request** at the bottom of the
editor. This redirects you to the merge request on the project's configured security policy project.
If a security policy project doesn't link to your project, GitLab creates such a project for you.
Existing policies can also be removed from the editor interface by selecting **Delete policy** at
the bottom of the editor.
All scan result policy changes are applied through a background job that runs once every 10 minutes.
Allow up to 10 minutes for any policy changes committed to this project to take effect.
The policy editor only supports YAML mode. To follow work on Rule mode, see the epic
[Allow Users to Edit Rule-mode scan result policies in the Policy UI](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/5363).
![Scan Result Policy Editor YAML Mode](img/scan_result_policy_yaml_mode_v14_6.png)
## Scan result policies schema
The YAML file with scan result policies consists of an array of objects matching the scan result
policy schema nested under the `scan_result_policy` key. You can configure a maximum of five
policies under the `scan_result_policy` key.
When you save a new policy, GitLab validates its contents against [this JSON schema](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/ee/app/validators/json_schemas/security_orchestration_policy.json).
If you're not familiar with how to read [JSON schemas](https://json-schema.org/),
the following sections and tables provide an alternative.
| Field | Type | Possible values | Description |
|-------|------|-----------------|-------------|
| `scan_result_policy` | `array` of Scan Result Policy | | List of scan result policies (maximum 5). |
## Scan result policy schema
| Field | Type | Possible values | Description |
|-------|------|-----------------|-------------|
| `name` | `string` | | Name of the policy. |
| `description` (optional) | `string` | | Description of the policy. |
| `enabled` | `boolean` | `true`, `false` | Flag to enable (`true`) or disable (`false`) the policy. |
| `rules` | `array` of rules | | List of rules that the policy applies. |
| `actions` | `array` of actions | | List of actions that the policy enforces. |
## `scan_finding` rule type
This rule enforces the defined actions based on the information provided.
| Field | Type | Possible values | Description |
|------------|------|-----------------|-------------|
| `type` | `string` | `scan_finding` | The rule's type. |
| `branches` | `array` of `string` | `*` or the branch's name | The branch the given policy applies to (supports wildcard). |
| `scanners` | `array` of `string` | `sast`, `secret_detection`, `dependency_scanning`, `container_scanning`, `dast`, `coverage_fuzzing`, `api_fuzzing` | The security scanners for this rule to consider. |
| `vulnerabilities_allowed` | `integer` | Greater than or equal to zero | Number of vulnerabilities allowed before this rule is considered. |
| `severity_levels` | `array` of `string` | `info`, `unknown`, `low`, `medium`, `high`, `critical`| The severity levels for this rule to consider. |
| `vulnerability_states` | `array` of `string` | `newly_detected`, `detected`, `confirmed`, `resolved`, `dismissed` | The vulnerability states for this rule to consider when the target branch is set to the default branch. |
## `require_approval` action type
This action sets an approval rule to be required when conditions are met for at least one rule in
the defined policy.
| Field | Type | Possible values | Description |
|-------|------|-----------------|-------------|
| `type` | `string` | `require_approval` | The action's type. |
| `approvals_required` | `integer` | Greater than or equal to zero | The number of MR approvals required. |
| `user_approvers` | `array` of `string` | Username of one of more users | The users to consider as approvers. |
| `user_approvers_ids` | `array` of `integer` | ID of one of more users | The IDs of users to consider as approvers. |
| `group_approvers` | `array` of `string` | Path of one of more groups | The groups to consider as approvers. |
| `group_approvers_ids` | `array` of `integer` | ID of one of more groups | The IDs of groups to consider as approvers. |
Requirements and limitations:
- You must add the respective [security scanning tools](../index.md#security-scanning-tools).
Otherwise, scan result policies won't have any effect.
- The maximum number of policies is five.
- Each policy can have a maximum of five rules.
## Example security scan result policies project
You can use this example in a `.gitlab/security-policies/policy.yml`, as described in
[Security policies project](index.md#security-policies-project):
```yaml
---
scan_result_policy:
- name: critical vulnerability CS approvals
description: critical severity level only for container scanning
enabled: true
rules:
- type: scan_finding
branches:
- main
scanners:
- container_scanning
vulnerabilities_allowed: 0
severity_levels:
- critical
vulnerability_states:
- newly_detected
actions:
- type: require_approval
approvals_required: 1
user_approvers:
- adalberto.dare
- name: secondary CS approvals
description: secondary only for container scanning
enabled: true
rules:
- type: scan_finding
branches:
- main
scanners:
- container_scanning
vulnerabilities_allowed: 1
severity_levels:
- low
- unknown
vulnerability_states:
- newly_detected
actions:
- type: require_approval
approvals_required: 1
user_approvers:
- sam.white
```
In this example:
- Every MR that contains new `critical` vulnerabilities identified by container scanning requires
one approval from `alberto.dare`.
- Every MR that contains more than one new `low` or `unknown` vulnerability identified by container
scanning requires one approval from `sam.white`.
## Example for Scan Result Policy editor
You can use this example in the YAML mode of the [Scan Result Policy editor](#scan-result-policy-editor).
It corresponds to a single object from the previous example:
```yaml
- name: critical vulnerability CS approvals
description: critical severity level only for container scanning
enabled: true
rules:
- type: scan_finding
branches:
- main
scanners:
- container_scanning
vulnerabilities_allowed: 1
severity_levels:
- critical
vulnerability_states:
- newly_detected
actions:
- type: require_approval
approvals_required: 1
user_approvers:
- adalberto.dare
