generation, and release workflows into the default templates.
* Ensure CI/CD workflows produce cryptographically verifiable build artifacts
compliant with SLSA provenance requirements.
* Implement organization-wide enforcement of branch protection rules, mandatory
reviews, security scanning, and secrets detection.
* Integrate GitHub Advanced Security features into templates to enforce code
scanning, Dependabot alerts, and secret scanning by default.
* Automate compliance evidence collection for internal audits and external
frameworks such as SOC 2, FedRAMP, or CMMC.
* Develop tooling such as Terraform, GitHub CLI, REST, or GraphQL APIs to
provision and configure GitHub orgs at scale.
