+## Repository policies and controls
+
+As our product offerings grow we will have increasingly more code in scope for SOC2 compliance spread across multiple repositories. This policy defines categories for repositories and which controls are necessary.
+
+## Repository categories
+
+### SOC2-scoped
+
+Any repository that contains code which processes Enterprise Sourcegraph customer data is categorized as `SOC2-scoped`. This includes repositories such as: sourcegraph/sourcegraph, sourcegraph/cody, sourcegraph/scip-\* and more.
+
+### Security-tracked
+
+Repositories that may not be in scope for compliance but present security risks should be categorized as `Security-tracked`. This includes repositories such as: sourcegraph/abuse-ban-bot, sourcegraph/controller and more.
+
+### Out-of-scope
+
+All other repositories are categorized as `Out-of-scope`.
+
+## Repository controls
+
+The following controls are required for all `SOC2-scoped` repositories. `Security-tracked` repositories are not required to have the controls but should be strongly considered. If a repository is categorized as `Out-of-scope` it does not require any controls.
+
+- Branch protection: a repository must not allow committing directly to the `main` branch.
+- PR approvals: merging changes to the main branch must require an approval
+- Test plan: PRs must have a Test Plan in the PR description.
+- CODEOWNERS: a repository must have a CODEOWNERS file.
+- CLA: non-Sourcegraph employees can only contribute to the repo by signing a CLA.
+- CI tests: code must pass tests (unit, integration, etc) before merging.
+- SAST: code must pass security testing before merging.
