What is Minder?

Minder is an OpenSSF platform that helps development teams and open source communities build more secure software, and prove to others that what they’ve built is secure. As a platform, Minder enables project owners to define and enforce their own security policies, enabling both detection and remediation of supply chain elements which violate policy.

Minder is designed as a multi-tenant platform, where each project is isolated from other projects on the service. Within a project, Minder supports granting permissions to multiple users, and allowing those users to instantiate providers with credentials to manage supply chain entities such as repositories, artifacts, and pull requests. Minder profiles encapsulate a set of rules which apply to one or more entity types to enforce supply chain policy.

Minder can be deployed as a Helm chart and provides a CLI tool minder. Stacklok, also provides a free-for-public-repositories hosted version of Minder (at https://api.stacklok.com/). Minder is designed to be extensible, allowing users to integrate with their existing tooling and processes.

Features

  • Repo configuration and security: Simplify configuration and management of security settings and policies across repos.
  • Proactive security enforcement: Continuously enforce best practice security configurations by setting granular policies to alert only or auto-remediate.
  • Artifact attestation: Continuously verify that packages are signed to ensure they’re tamper-proof, using the open source project Sigstore.
  • Dependency management: Manage dependency security posture by helping developers make better choices and enforcing controls. Minder is integrated with Trusty by Stacklok to enable policy-driven dependency management based on the risk level of dependencies.
