This guide sets up world-class, enterprise-grade security automation that provides:

• Zero-trust automated vulnerability remediation
• Mandatory security reviews with CODEOWNERS
• Compliance reporting and audit trails
• Fine-grained access controls
• Multi-tier security scanning

1. Go to GitHub Settings → Developer Settings → Personal Access Tokens → Fine-grained tokens

2. Click “Generate new token”

3. Configure the token:

   • Token name: Enterprise Security Automation
   • Expiration: 1 year
   • Repository access: Select only this repository
   • Repository permissions:
     • Contents: Write
     • Pull requests: Write
     • Issues: Write
     • Metadata: Read
     • Actions: Read

4. Copy the token (you won’t see it again)

1. Go to Repository Settings → Secrets and Variables → Actions
2. Click “New repository secret”
3. Name: SECURITY_AUTOMATION_TOKEN
4. Value: Paste the token from Step 1
5. Click “Add secret”

1. Go to Repository Settings → Branches
2. Add rule for main branch:
   • ✅ Require a pull request before merging
   • ✅ Require approvals (minimum 1)
   • ✅ Dismiss stale reviews when new commits are pushed
   • ✅ Require review from CODEOWNERS
   • ✅ Require status checks to pass before merging
   • ✅ Require branches to be up to date before merging
   • ✅ Include administrators

✅ COMPLETED - .github/CODEOWNERS has been created with:

# Enterprise Security Code Ownership
* @WenzelArifiandi
*.yml @WenzelArifiandi
*.yaml @WenzelArifiandi
package*.json @WenzelArifiandi
.github/ @WenzelArifiandi

# Security-critical files require additional review
.github/workflows/security*.yml @WenzelArifiandi
.github/workflows/deploy*.yml @WenzelArifiandi

This ensures all security-critical files require your review.

1. Go to Repository Settings → Security → Code scanning
2. Enable CodeQL analysis
3. Go to Dependabot → Enable security updates
