Add a Security Policy

Adding a security policy

Just like most repositories have a README.md file to provide instructions on how to contribute to the repository, a SECURITY.md file highlights security related information and instructions on how to handle security related issues and best practices.

This gives collaborators the important security information they need, but it also documents a place where maintainers can think about how they should deal with security disclosures, updates, and general security practices within this repository.

What should I include in my security policy?

Just like a README.md file, it really depends on your repository and the requirements and workflows. Here are a few common topics that are documented in a security policy:

• Supported versions
• How to responsibly report a security vulnerability
• Security related configuration
• Known security gaps and future enhancements

Step 6: Add a SECURITY.md file

1. Navigate to the Security tab
2. Click on Policy located in the left sidebar
3. Click the Start Setup button
4. Commit the template security policy to the new branch as selected gamer4life1-patch-1
5. Commit the new file and create the pull request
