integrating-sast-into-github-actions-pipeline
Integrates CodeQL and Semgrep SAST scanning into GitHub Actions, covering scans on pull requests/pushes, rule tuning to cut false positives, SARIF upload to GitHub Advanced Security, and merge-blocking quality gates for high-severity findings. Use when adding automated code vulnerability detection to CI, enforcing consistent SAST org-wide, or producing SOC 2/PCI DSS/NIST SSDF compliance evidence.

# Integrating SAST into GitHub Actions Pipeline
## When to Use
- When development teams need automated code-level vulnerability detection on every pull request
- When security teams require consistent SAST enforcement across all repositories in an organization
- When migrating from manual or periodic security reviews to continuous security testing
- When compliance frameworks (SOC 2, PCI DSS, NIST SSDF) require evidence of automated code analysis
- When multiple languages coexist in a monorepo and need unified scanning under one workflow
**Do not use** for runtime vulnerability detection (use DAST instead), for scanning third-party dependencies (use SCA tools like Snyk), or for infrastructure-as-code scanning (use Checkov or tfsec).
