Implementing security and governance

Platform Concepts: Governance and security
- With Harness, governance is built into the platform from the ground up and centrally managed.
- Policies define what the guardrails should be and the Harness open policy agent enforces all of the rules, all of the time.
- When teams adhere to policies, governance is still tracked- but invisible.
A) Enable policy
- On the left nav, click Organization settings.
- Click Policies, then Policy Sets in the top right corner.
- One person, acting as the security team, enables the security policy.
B) Policy is enforced, Duh...duh.... DUUUUH!
-
In the left nav, click on the scope selector top left.
-
Select your project, and click Pipelines if necessary in the left nav.
-
Click on the "Fastlane-Java" pipeline.
-
Click on Java Build, then on the Execution tab in the middle.
-
As nefariously as possible (this is important)- hover over the Owasp security step until you see the blue X and click to delete.
-
Click save in the top right corner. Review the policy enforcement notice.
-
Click Discard in the top right corner to restore your pipeline to all necessary steps.
