OpenSSF Open Source Project Security Baseline (OSPS Baseline) OSPS-AC-03.01: OSPS-AC-03.01 Protect the Primary Branch from Accidental Modification

OSPS-AC-03 Protect the Primary Branch from Accidental Modification (maturity levels 1, 2, 3). Requirement: When a direct commit is attempted on the project's primary branch, an enforcement mechanism MUST prevent the change from being applied. Objective of the control: Reduce the risk of accidental changes or deletion of the primary branch of the project's repository by preventing unintentional modification. Recommendation: If the VCS is centralized, set branch protection on the primary branch in the project's VCS. Alternatively, use a decentralized approach, like the Linux kernel's, where changes are first proposed in another repository, and merging changes into the primary repository requires a specific separate act.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 1 controls across 1 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

NIST SP 800-218 · 1 control

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
