Report Format

## Security Compliance Report

**Date:** <date>
**Scope:** <project/artifact>

### Vulnerability Summary
| Severity | Count | New | Fixed |
|----------|-------|-----|-------|
| Critical | X     | X   | X     |
| High     | X     | X   | X     |
| Medium   | X     | X   | X     |
| Low      | X     | X   | X     |

### Top Critical Vulnerabilities
1. **CVE-XXXX-XXXXX** - <description> (Package: <name>)
   - Remediation: Upgrade to version X.Y.Z

### SBOM Status
- Artifacts with SBOMs: X/Y
- Compliance checks passing: X/Y

### Active Exemptions
- X exemptions active, Y pending review

### Recommendations
1. <prioritized fix action>
2. <next fix action>

Security Resource Types

Resource Type	Operations	Description
`security_issue`	list, get	Vulnerabilities from scans
`security_exemption`	list, get, create, update	Exemption management
`scs_sbom`	list, get	Software Bill of Materials
`scs_artifact_component`	list	Components in artifacts
`scs_artifact_remediation`	list	Fix recommendations
`scs_compliance_result`	list	Policy compliance results
`scs_opa_policy`	list	OPA policy status

Examples

“Generate security report for backend-service” - List security_issue filtered by service
“Show critical vulnerabilities” - List security_issue, filter by severity
“Download SBOM for api-service:v2.3” - Get scs_sbom by artifact
“Create exemption for CVE-2024-1234” - Create security_exemption

Performance Notes

Gather the complete vulnerability list before summarizing. Do not report on partial scan results.
Cross-reference vulnerabilities with SBOM data for accurate component attribution.
Quality and accuracy of the security report is more important than speed.

Troubleshooting

No Vulnerabilities Shown

Verify STO scans are configured in pipelines
Check scan tool connectors (Snyk, Aqua, etc.)
Ensure scan results are being ingested

SBOM Not Available

Verify SBOM generation is enabled in CI pipeline
Check artifact registry configuration
