<!-- categories: Security Policy Management -->

Scheduled pipeline execution policies are now available as a beta feature and no longer require an experiment flag to enable. You can enforce custom CI/CD jobs on a daily, weekly, or monthly cadence across your projects, independent of commit activity. Use scheduled policies to run compliance scripts, security scans, or dependency checks on repositories that may not have regular code changes.

Scheduled policies now enforce variable precedence consistently with regular pipeline execution policies. Each security policy project supports up to five scheduled policies, and GitLab automatically cancels running pipelines when a policy is disabled or deleted. Configure schedules in YAML or the UI, with time zone support, time window distribution, branch targeting, and snooze functionality.
