Summary
This post details how to integrate security scanning into CI/CD pipelines using pipeline includes (templates and components) and introduces compliance frameworks as a mechanism for enforcement. It contrasts the ease of use, customization, and enforcement capabilities of project pipelines with includes versus compliance frameworks. The post explains how to use templates and components for security scanning, including examples of modifying container scanning behavior and pinning component versions. It highlights that while includes are easy for developers, they lack enforcement for security teams, leading to the need for compliance frameworks for regulated industries.
