Repository Firewall Best Practices: Policy Compliant Component Selection

Good question, Navneet. If there are no policy compliant versions of the package available, then the package goes to quarantine and stays in quarantine until it’s manually released by a waiver.

Waiver documentation is here. Or watch a video here.

As for the life cycle of these packages, that depends on your level of risk tolerance. Our most successful customers have developers send waiver requests to a central location (a Teams channel, an email address) which are then individually evaluated by a team leader or security pro.
