Demo Walkthrough​

In this demo we will check and enforce the policy "Restrict Repository Creation" also known as restrictRepoCreationGitHub

Scenario 1: Setup is Already Compliant (restrictRepoCreationGitHub)​

In this scenario, fortSphere detects that the GitHub organization's setup is already compliant with the applied policy (restrictRepoCreationGitHub).

Here’s a step-by-step overview:

GitHub UI GitHub organization settings page showing member privileges and repository creation options before applying the compliance policy.

fortSphere run and logs fortSphere command-line interface logs indicating that the organization is already compliant with the applied policy.

Outcome:

✅ No changes were necessary; the organization setup is already compliant.

Scenario 2: Setup Requires Changes (restrictRepoCreationGitHub)​

This scenario highlights how fortSphere identifies and corrects a misconfigured setup to enforce compliance.

GitHub UI GitHub organization settings page displaying member privileges and repository creation options requiring updates for compliance.

fortSphere run and logs fortSphere command-line interface logs showing that changes were applied successfully to bring the organization into compliance

Outcome:

✅ The necessary changes were made, and the organization now complies with the applied policy.
