Production approvers named

Covers 3 controls

Production approvers named
Production protection
Production reviewers resolved

What Verify read

Required checks match workflow names

Covers 4 controls

Required checks match workflow names
Required status checks strict
Required check includes tests
Required lint check

What Verify read

Required checks: none

Risk: If required checks do not match the jobs that run, a rule appears to protect the branch while enforcing nothing.

text

Align required checks with jobs.

critical

Unit test command

Covers 2 controls

Unit test command
Tests run in CI

What Verify read

No tree evidence for test.

Risk: With no test command, there is no repeatable way to establish whether the code still works.

Method

How Verify works

Read

Verify reads the repository at a pinned commit: settings, rulesets, workflows, and files.

Judge

Each control is checked against a written expectation. Same inspector, same criteria, every repository.

Prove

Every result shows the evidence Verify read. Assessments re-run daily, and changes are logged.
