Securing your organization

Introduction

This guide shows you how to configure security features for an organization. Your organization's security needs are unique and you may not need to enable every security feature. For more information, see "GitHub security features."

Some security features are only available for public repositories, and for private repositories owned by organizations with an Advanced Security license. 詳しい情報については、「GitHub Advanced Security について」を参照してください。

Managing access to your organization

You can use roles to control what actions people can take in your organization. For example, you can assign the security manager role to a team to give them the ability to manage security settings across your organization, as well as read access to all repositories. For more information, see "Roles in an organization."

Creating a default security policy

You can create a default security policy that will display in any of your organization's public repositories that do not have their own security policy. For more information, see "Creating a default community health file."

Managing Dependabotアラート and the dependency graph

By default, GitHub detects vulnerabilities in public repositories and generates Dependabotアラート and a dependency graph. You can enable or disable Dependabotアラート and the dependency graph for all private repositories owned by your organization.

1. Click your profile photo, then click Organizations.
2. Click Settings next to your organization.
3. Click Security & analysis.
4. Click Enable all or Disable all next to the feature that you want to manage.
5. Optionally, select Automatically enable for new repositories.

For more information, see "About alerts for vulnerable dependencies," "Exploring the dependencies of a repository," and "Managing security and analysis settings for your organization."

Managing dependency review

Dependency review lets you visualize dependency changes in pull requests before they are merged into your repositories. Dependency review is available in all public repositories. For private and internal repositories you require a license for Advanced Security. To enable dependency review for an organization, enable the dependency graph and enable Advanced Security.

For more information, see "About dependency review."

Managing Dependabotセキュリティアップデート

For any repository that uses Dependabotアラート, you can enable Dependabotセキュリティアップデート to raise pull requests with security updates when vulnerabilities are detected. You can also enable or disable Dependabotセキュリティアップデート for all repositories across your organization.

1. Click your profile photo, then click Organizations.
2. Click Settings next to your organization.
3. Click Security & analysis.
4. Click Enable all or Disable all next to Dependabotセキュリティアップデート.
5. Optionally, select Automatically enable for new repositories.

For more information, see "About Dependabotセキュリティアップデート" and "Managing security and analysis settings for your organization."

Managing Dependabotバージョンアップデート

You can enable Dependabot to automatically raise pull requests to keep your dependencies up-to-date. For more information, see "About Dependabotバージョンアップデート."

To enable Dependabotバージョンアップデート, you must create a dependabot.yml configuration file. For more information, see "Enabling and disabling Dependabot version updates."

Managing GitHub Advanced Security

If your organization has an Advanced Security license, you can enable or disable Advanced Security features.

1. Click your profile photo, then click Organizations.
2. Click Settings next to your organization.
3. Click Security & analysis.
4. Click Enable all or Disable all next to GitHub Advanced Security.
5. Optionally, select Automatically enable for new private repositories.

For more information, see "About GitHub Advanced Security" and "Managing security and analysis settings for your organization."

Configuring secret scanning

Secret scanning is available for all public repositories, and for private repositories owned by organizations with an Advanced Security license.

You can enable or disable secret scanning for all repositories across your organization that have Advanced Security enabled.

1. Click your profile photo, then click Organizations.
2. Click Settings next to your organization.
3. Click Security & analysis.
4. Click Enable all or Disable all next to Secret scanning (GitHub Advanced Security repositories only).
5. Optionally, select Automatically enable for private repositories added to Advanced Security.

For more information, see "Managing security and analysis settings for your organization."

Next steps

You can view, filter, and sort security alerts for repositories owned by your organization in the security overview. For more information, see "About the security overview."

You can view and manage alerts from security features to address dependencies and vulnerabilities in your code. For more information, see "Viewing and updating vulnerable dependencies in your repository," "Managing pull requests for dependency updates," "Managing code scanning for your repository," and "Managing alerts from secret scanning."

If you have a security vulnerability, you can create a security advisory to privately discuss and fix the vulnerability. For more information, see "About GitHub Security Advisories" and "Creating a security advisory."
