Persona view

CI/CD DevOps & Tooling Integrator

You own the pipelines that build, test, and ship code. You need tools that bolt cleanly into CI/CD, block unsafe dependencies, and produce verifiable artefacts at every stage.

Here are the 18 OpenSSF projects and publications that address the DevOps persona, each with a one-sentence action written for the role. Prefer another way in? Browse by problem →

Best Practices Badge

Integrates badge status checks into the pipeline to block the inclusion of dependencies that fail to meet baseline security practices.

Bomctl

Wires bomctl into the pipeline to fetch, merge, and reformat SBOMs as a build step rather than a manual chore.

Criticality Score

Integrates the criticality score into CI/CD workflows to trigger stricter security testing for highly critical components.

Gemara

Consumes Gemara's machine-readable model to automate control evaluation and evidence collection inside the pipeline.

gittuf

Verifies a repository's reference state log in the pipeline so builds only proceed from history that satisfies the signed policy.

GUAC

Integrates GUAC into the pipeline to automatically block builds that introduce malicious or policy-violating transitive dependencies.

Minder

Configures Minder to execute security posture management checks and minimize risk along the supply chain.

OpenSSF Model Signing (OMS)

Adds keyless model signing and verification as pipeline steps, mirroring the artifact-signing controls already used for code.

OpenBao

Integrates OpenBao to securely inject ephemeral credentials into CI/CD pipelines during automated builds and deployments.

OpenSSF Scorecard

Embeds the OpenSSF Scorecard to execute automated security health checks directly within CI/CD pipelines.

Protobom / SBOM Tools

Embeds Protobom into the automated release pipeline to seamlessly generate and attach SBOMs to every compiled artifact.

Repository Service for TUF (RSTUF)

Configures build pipelines to exclusively interact with RSTUF-secured repositories to guarantee the integrity of fetched dependencies.

SBOMit

Produces attestation-backed SBOMs as a release step so provenance travels with the component inventory automatically.

Sigstore

Deploys Sigstore to enable identity-based (keyless) signing via OIDC, eliminating the risk of compromised long-lived build secrets and automating artifact verification in the pipeline.

OSPS Baseline

Configures pipeline guardrails to automatically verify that projects adhere to the fundamental practices outlined in the baseline.

OSV Schema & OpenVEX

Automates the ingestion of OSV data and OpenVEX statements in the pipeline to prevent false positive vulnerability alerts from breaking builds.

Security Insights

Uses the machine-readable Security Insights YAML file to automatically approve or block dependencies during pipeline execution.

SLSA

Applies the SLSA framework to generate non-falsifiable build provenance, ensuring that the artifact produced can be cryptographically traced back to the specific source and build platform.
