An OpenSSF working group repository curating security best practices, guides, and educational resources for open source developers. It hosts community-maintained documentation and related tools such as the OpenSSF Best Practices Badge program to help projects adopt secure development habits.
Use cases
- learn secure coding practices for open source projects
- find security best practice guides for maintainers
- get my open source project security badged
- educate contributors on secure development
- curate a security practices inventory for my team
- improve my repository's security posture
When to choose
- you maintain or contribute to open source projects and want actionable security guidance
- you need free, community-vetted secure development training materials
- you want to benchmark or certify your project's security practices
When to avoid
- you need a runnable security scanning tool rather than guidance and education
- you need vendor-specific or compliance-audit documentation
