Assessing adoption of security features

You can use security overview to see which teams and repositories have already enabled features for secure coding, and identify any that are not yet protected.

Who can use this feature?

Access requires:

Organizations owned by a GitHub Team account with GitHub Secret Protection or GitHub Code Security, or owned by a GitHub Enterprise account

About adoption of features for secure coding

You can use security overview to see which repositories and teams have already enabled each security feature, and where people need more encouragement to adopt these features. The "Security coverage" view shows a summary and detailed information on feature enablement for an organization. You can filter the view to show a subset of repositories using the "enabled" and "not enabled" links, the "Teams" dropdown menu, and a search field in the page header.

Note

"Pull request alerts" are reported as enabled only when code scanning has analyzed at least one pull request since alerts were enabled for the repository.

You can download a CSV file of the data displayed on the "Security coverage" page. This data file can be used for efforts like security research and in-depth data analysis, and can integrate easily with external datasets. For more information, see Exporting data from security overview.

You can use the "Enablement trends" view to see enablement status and enablement status trends over time for Dependabot, code scanning, or secret scanning for repositories in an organization, or across organizations in an enterprise. For each of these features, you can view a graph visualizing the percentage of repositories that have the feature enabled, as well as a detailed table with enablement percentages for different points in time. For more information, see Viewing enablement trends for an organization and Viewing enablement trends for an enterprise.

Viewing the enablement of security features for an organization

You can view data to assess the enablement of features for secure coding across repositories in an organization.

  1. On GitHub, navigate to the main page of the organization.

  2. Under your organization name, click Security.

  3. To display the "Security coverage" view, in the sidebar, click Coverage.

  4. Use options in the page summary to filter results to show the repositories you want to assess. The list of repositories and metrics displayed on the page automatically update to match your current selection. For more information on filtering, see Filtering alerts in security overview.

Viewing the enablement of features for secure coding in an enterprise

You can view data to assess the enablement of security features across organizations in an enterprise.

  1. Navigate to GitHub Enterprise Cloud.

  2. In the top-right corner of GitHub, click your profile picture, then click Your enterprises.

  3. In the list of enterprises, click the enterprise you want to view.

  4. At the top of the page, click Security.

  5. To display the "Security coverage" view, in the sidebar, click Coverage.

  6. Use options in the page summary to filter results to show the repositories you want to assess. The list of repositories and metrics displayed on the page automatically update to match your current selection. For more information on filtering, see Filtering alerts in security overview.

Viewing enablement trends for an organization

You can view data to assess the enablement status and enablement status trends of security features for an organization.

  1. On GitHub, navigate to the main page of the organization.

  2. Under your organization name, click Security.

  3. In the sidebar, under "Metrics," click Enablement trends.

  4. Click on one of the tabs for "Dependabot," "Code scanning," or "Secret scanning" to view enablement trends and the percentage of repositories in your organization with that feature enabled. This data is displayed as a graph and a detailed table.

  5. Optionally, use the options at the top of the "Enablement trends" view page to filter the group of repositories you want to see enablement trends for.

Viewing enablement trends for an enterprise

You can view data to assess the enablement status and enablement status trends of security features across organizations in an enterprise.

  1. Navigate to GitHub Enterprise Cloud.

  2. In the top-right corner of GitHub, click your profile picture, then click Your enterprises.

  3. In the list of enterprises, click the enterprise you want to view.

  4. At the top of the page, click Security.

  5. To display the "Enablement trends" view, in the sidebar, click Enablement trends.

  6. Click on one of the tabs for "Dependabot," "Code scanning," or "Secret scanning" to view enablement trends and the percentage of repositories across organizations in your enterprise with that feature enabled. This data is displayed as a graph and a detailed table.

  7. Optionally, use the options at the top of the "Enablement trends" view page to filter the group of repositories you want to see enablement trends for.

Interpreting and acting on the enablement data

Some security features can and should be enabled on all repositories. For example, secret scanning alerts and push protection reduce the risk of a security leak no matter what information is stored in the repository. If you see repositories that don't already use these features, you should either enable them or discuss an enablement plan with the team who owns the repository. For information on enabling features for a whole organization, see Enabling security features in your organization.

Other features are not suitable for use in all repositories. For example, there would be no point in enabling Dependabot for repositories that only use ecosystems or languages that are unsupported. As such, it's normal to have some repositories where these features are not enabled.

Your enterprise may also have configured policies to limit the use of some security features. For more information, see Enforcing policies for code security and analysis for your enterprise.
