SLSA is a compliance framework from International (OpenSSF, Linux Foundation) with 9 domains and 44 controls that map to 131 other frameworks. The largest domains are Source track: source control system requirements – SLSA (11 controls), Build track: build platform requirements – SLSA (6 controls), Source track: example organization controls (optional, claimed at Source L3 and above) – SLSA (6 controls). Every control below carries what it requires and what an assessor expects to see.

Compare SLSA with US EPA Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) - Cybersecurity Requirements

Coverage is not the same as your position

This page shows what SLSA overlaps with in general. Where your organisation actually stands, against the standard you are going for and the certifications you already hold, is a different question. Same graph and the same recorded refutations, scoped to you rather than to a pair.

What is SLSA and who does it apply to?

SLSA is a compliance framework from International (OpenSSF, Linux Foundation) with 9 domains and 44 controls. Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts It is used by organisations to establish and maintain compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.

What does SLSA actually require?

SLSA has 44 controls organised across 9 domains. The largest domains are Source track: source control system requirements – SLSA (11 controls), Build track: build platform requirements – SLSA (6 controls), Source track: example organization controls (optional, claimed at Source L3 and above) – SLSA (6 controls). Each control defines specific requirements that organisations must implement to achieve compliance.

If I already comply with another framework, how much of SLSA do I already cover?

SLSA maps to 131 other compliance frameworks. The top mapping partners are US EPA Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) - Cybersecurity Requirements (4% coverage), TSA Pipeline Cybersecurity Directives (4% coverage), ISO/IEC 27011:2024 (4% coverage). Use our comparison tool to explore control-level mappings between frameworks.

How do I implement SLSA?

Start your SLSA compliance journey by running a self-assessment on our platform to identify your current compliance posture. Our AI advisory can answer specific questions about SLSA requirements, and cross-framework mapping helps you leverage existing controls from other frameworks you may already comply with.
