Policy-as-Code in the software supply chain

Policy-as-Code is a modern approach that combines software engineering principles with operational and security guidelines to enhance compliance, consistency, and efficiency in software supply chains. It focuses on creating, distributing, and evaluating policies for secure software supply chains. The implementation of policies spans various domains, including infrastructure, platform, source, build, and execution. Effective policy design and evaluation require accuracy, evaluation, and confidence. Trust establishment, policy distribution, and evaluation are crucial aspects of policy implementation. Policy-as-Code tools, such as gatekeepers and policy languages, can be used for policy implementation, enforcement, and evaluation.
