Why a Code Signing Policy Matters

Even the best security tools only work when used correctly. A clear, enforceable policy helps your teams apply code signing, SBOMs, scanning, and other practices effectively– improving security without slowing down releases.

This sample policy covers essential code signing practices, from authentication and key management to role definitions and incident response. Use the framework to get started and tailor it to fit your unique workflows and team structure.

Inside the policy:

• Code signing workflows and tool usage
• Role segregation for risk and management
• Proactive reviews and incident handling
• Auditing, logging, and SBOM management
