Minder Rules and Profiles
A repository containing Minder rules and profiles describing security policies and various tool integrations.
What are rule types, profiles, and data sources?
Minder is a tool that allows you to define security policies and integrate with various tools to enforce those policies. Its engine is designed to be extensible through rule types, profiles and data sources, allowing you to integrate your own logic and processes.
A profile defines your security policies that you want to apply to your software supply chain. Profiles contain rules (or rule types) that query data in a provider, and specifies whether Minder will issue alerts or perform automatic remediations when an entity is not in compliance with the policy.
Profiles in Minder allow you to group and manage rules for various entity types, such as repositories
, pull requests
,
artifacts
, etc., across your registered GitHub repositories.
Data sources are designed to enrich the information available about an entity, allowing us to make more informed policy evaluations. Unlike providers, which create entities, a data source offers additional information about an existing entity or one of its specific attributes. The entity itself, however, always originates from a provider.
How to get started with writing rules and profiles?
To get started with writing rules and profiles, you can check the following resources:
- How to write a rule type
- How to write a rule type using Rego
- How to use mindev to develop and debug rule types
- How to write rules and profiles - YouTube
- Minder documentation
- Rego language tutorial
Apart from that, you can also check the reference rules and profiles in this repository to get an idea of how to write, structure, and organize them.
- Rule types: the reference rule types are available in the
rule-types
directory. To take these rule types into use, you'll need to instantiate them in a Minder instance. For example, to use the reference rules recommended for GitHub, use the following command -minder ruletype create -f rule-types/github
. - Profiles: the reference profiles are available in the
profiles
directory. To take a profile into use, you'll need to instantiate it in a Minder instance. For example, to use the reference profile recommended for GitHub, use the following command -minder profile create -f profiles/github/profile.yaml
. - Data sources: the reference data sources are available in the
data-sources
directory. To take a data source into use, you'll need to instantiate it in a Minder instance. For example, to instantiate the reference data source for using OSV as a data source, use the following command -minder datasource create -f data-sources osv.yaml
.
