+# Key Security Features:
+# - SAST (Static Application Security Testing)
+# - Dependency vulnerability scanning
+# - Secrets detection
+# - Infrastructure-as-Code security scanning
+# - Container image scanning
+# - Security artifact uploading for compliance

+# Security Best Practices Demonstrated:
+#
+# 1. ✅ Minimal permissions (principle of least privilege)
+# 2. ✅ Multiple security scan types (defense in depth)
+# 3. ✅ Fail-fast on critical findings
+# 4. ✅ Secrets detection across full git history
+# 5. ✅ Container image scanning before deployment
+# 6. ✅ IaC scanning for misconfigurations
+# 7. ✅ Artifact retention for compliance audit trail
+# 8. ✅ SARIF format for GitHub Security integration
+# 9. ✅ Scheduled scans for continuous monitoring
+# 10. ✅ PR comments for developer feedback
+#
+# Compliance Mappings:
+# - SOC 2: CC6.1, CC6.6, CC7.2 (Security monitoring and logging)
+# - PCI-DSS: 6.2, 6.5 (Secure development practices)

+# 4. Provide clear remediation guidance in the message field
+# 5. Include both vulnerable and fixed code examples
+# 6. Test rules on real codebases before deployment
+#
+# Best Practices:
+# - Map to multiple frameworks (OWASP, CWE, MITRE ATT&CK)
+# - Include compliance standard references
+# - Provide actionable remediation guidance
+# - Show code examples (vulnerable vs. fixed)
+# - Tune confidence levels to reduce false positives
+# - Exclude test directories to reduce noise
