# Compliance Standards

Xygeni ensures your software aligns with various [Security Standards and Guidelines](https://docs.xygeni.io/xygeni-products/compliance/compliance-scanner#standards) by running **automated compliance checks** on software projects and DevOps tools for compliance assessment, under standards and guidelines like ***OpenSSF Scorecard*** or ***CIS Software Supply Chain Security*** among others.

Each *standard* is composed of a set of checkpoints that are evaluated against the project under analysis. A *checkpoint* is classified within a specific category and may be designated as mandatory or optional. The outcome indicates whether the project meets the standard, providing a compliance level assessment
