Gemara is a standardized, machine-readable data model designed to bridge the gap between high-level compliance requirements and low-level technical evidence. By providing a structured schema (powered by CUE), Gemara enables automated risk assessment, consistent reporting, and interoperability across the security toolchain.

1. View the model and supporting resources at gemara.openssf.org
2. Find schemas in this repository, or in the CUE central registry.

• Use the schemas directly with cue for validating Gemara data payloads against the schemas and more.

3. Use the Go SDK to integrate Gemara schemas into your automated tools

• github.com/gemaraproj/go-gemara and consult our go docs

Some Gemara use cases include:

• FINOS Common Cloud Controls (Layer 2)
• Open Source Project Security Baseline (Layer 2)
• Privateer (Layer 5)
  • ex. OSPS Baseline Privateer Plugin
