NoNonSec delivers the hard truth:
No-nonsense Security — no shortcuts, no excuses, no endless discussions.

Only run software you can fully trust.
Trust is earned; it must never be assumed.

No endless debates about vague reasons like “it only runs internally” or “other excuses.” Security applies everywhere, no exceptions.

NoNonSec champions shift-left security, integrating checks early in the development lifecycle:

• Understand every component in your dependencies before you execute them.
• Require full transparency and verification prior to deployment.
• Identify and resolve security issues when they’re cheapest and easiest to fix.

Shifting left reduces risk and strengthens your security posture.

Trust comes only through rigorous verification:

• Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)
  A comprehensive inventory of every component and version in the package.

• Security Scanning
  Automated or manual vulnerability assessments to uncover known flaws.

No SBOM or scan? No trust. No trust? No run.

If a package lacks both an SBOM and a vulnerability scan, do not run it.
Executing unverified software is an unacceptable security risk.

Shift-left is vital — but it’s only half the battle. Shift-right ensures ongoing protection:

• Continuous monitoring of live systems.
• Rapid incident detection and response.
• Regular patching and mitigation workflows.

Security never stops — it’s a continuous, full-lifecycle commitment.

NoNonSec’s mandate is straightforward:

1. No-nonsense security from day one — don’t wait for breaches.
2. Require SBOMs and vulnerability scans before running any software.
3. Embed shift-left practices early; maintain shift-right vigilance later.
4. Protect your environments with transparency, verification, and continuous checks.
5. No excuses, no vague reasons — security applies everywhere.

NoNonSec — Because security is not optional and endless excuses will not keep one safe.
