State-of-the-art security & compliance engineering (2026) for the cybersecurity control frameworks and product-security regulations that drive architecture, code, and CI gates — not the organizational policy binder. Use when work must satisfy or be audited against NIST CSF 2.0, SP 800-53, SP 800-171 / CMMC, the Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF, SP 800-218), FedRAMP, the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), or ISA/IEC 62443 (OT/ICS/embedded). Covers control-framework-as-code crosswalks…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# SOTA Security & Compliance Engineering

## Purpose

The engineering half of cybersecurity regulation: how to make a control framework
a property of the codebase, pipeline, and infrastructure rather than a binder of
policy documents. A control that lives in a schema, an IAM policy, a CI gate, or a
signed SBOM survives staff turnover and an assessor's sampling; a control that
lives in a wiki page does not.

This skill is the **security/regulation counterpart** to [`sota-privacy-compliance`](../sota-privacy-compliance/SKILL.md)
(which owns personal-data lifecycle, GDPR, SOC 2, ISO 27001). It owns the
cybersecurity *control frameworks* and *product-security regulations* — NIST CSF
2.0, SP 800-53, SP 800-171 / CMMC, SSDF (SP 800-218), FedRAMP, the EU Cyber
Resilience Act, and ISA/IEC 62443 for OT.

> **This is engineering guidance, not legal, certification, or assessment advice.**
> Framework versions, regulation dates, and conformity routes move — every date
> and version below was verified against a primary source (NIST CSRC, EUR-Lex, the
> Federal Register, ISA/IEC) as of **July 2026** and each rules file cites it.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add martinholovsky/sota-skills/sota-security-compliance@sha256:12920a7cea4a4fea

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.da12e08, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
