The Security Configuration page displays the configuration state of each security feature in the
current project. The page uses the project's latest default branch [CI pipeline](../../../ci/pipelines/index.md)
to determine each feature's configuration state. If a job with the expected security report artifact
exists in the pipeline, the feature is considered enabled.
The Security Configuration page displays the configuration state of each security control in the
current project.
You can only enable SAST from the Security Configuration page. Documentation links are included for
the other features. For details about configuring SAST, see [Configure SAST in the UI](../sast/index.md#configure-sast-in-the-ui).
To view a project's security configuration, go to the project's home page,
then in the left sidebar, go to **Security & Compliance** > **Configuration**.
## Status
For each security control, the page displays the status and either a management option or a
documentation link.
The status of each security control is determined by the project's latest default branch
[CI pipeline](../../../ci/pipelines/index.md).
If a job with the expected security report artifact exists in the pipeline, the feature's status is
_enabled_.
NOTE: **Note:**
If the latest pipeline used [Auto DevOps](../../../topics/autodevops/index.md),
all security features are configured by default.
