Audit-Ready by Design.

Continuous Governance & Oversight

Compliance Was Never Designed for Modern Delivery

Financial institutions are under pressure to:

  • Release software faster
  • Maintain strict regulatory alignment
  • Prove control effectiveness at any time
  • Generate defensible audit evidence on demand

Yet most teams still rely on:

  • Manual evidence collection
  • Fragmented security tooling
  • Spreadsheet-based control tracking
  • Last-minute audit preparation

The result? Slower releases. Higher risk. Audit stress.

Who We Are

Compliance and governance

What Sets Us Apart

  • Aligns DevSecOps execution to risk oversight
  • Embeds regulatory defensibility into technical controls
  • Enables audit readiness by design
  • Reduces governance translation friction
  • Provides measurable maturity progression
ISATech.ai transforms DevSecOps from a technical practice into a board-governed control domain.

Our Approach

Our approach recognizes that DevSecOps failures are rarely caused by tooling alone. Instead, they stem from fragmented discovery, unclear ownership, misaligned controls, and execution models that are not packaged for regulatory environments.

We partner with regulated financial institutions to embed regulatory controls into your delivery pipelines, align tooling and platforms with audit expectations, and provide continuous visibility into control effectiveness — so you can ship with confidence.

CI/CD pipeline → audit report (ISATech 16 Core Secure Delivery Controls × all control IDs)

We evaluate using ISATech 16 Core Secure Delivery Controls. Each checkpoint is a compliance seal—you’ve got the seal. Pipeline output: one audit report per run.

First advisory stage output

  • A 5-Level DevSecOps Maturity Model (used in discovery to assess gaps in compliance, governance, pipeline & auditability)
  • Integrated regulatory crosswalk mapping
  • Audit-ready evidence definitions

5-Level DevSecOps Maturity Model

Part of our initial discovery engagement: we use this model to assess your gaps in compliance, governance, pipeline, and auditability. The same model can be used to reassess progress as you implement phases from PLAN through GOVERN and as new regulations and control requirements are enacted. Each control is scored 1–5 (red → green) for quantitative scoring and board reporting.

Ad Hoc
Level 2

Level 3

Level 4

Level 5
Optimized (Policy-as-Code / Continuous Compliance)

Our approach recognizes that DevSecOps failures are rarely caused by tooling alone. They stem from fragmented discovery, unclear ownership, misaligned controls, and execution models that are not packaged for regulatory environments.

Our Philosophy

  • Regulation and delivery velocity are not opposites
  • Governance must be automatable to scale
  • Flow, controls, and accountability must be designed together
  • Sustainable DevSecOps reduces risk, audit fatigue, and burnout
Phase 1 — PLAN – Design Integrity
  • Secure SDLC Governance
  • Threat Modeling & Risk Assessment
  • Secure Architecture Standards
Phase 2 — BUILD – Pipeline Integrity
  • Source Code Access Governance
  • CI/CD Pipeline Security Controls
  • Secrets Management in Pipelines
Phase 3 — VERIFY – Assurance Controls
  • Static & Dynamic Security Testing (SAST/DAST)
  • Software Composition Analysis (SCA)
  • Secure Code Review Governance
Phase 4 — RELEASE – Change Integrity
  • Deployment Approval & Change Traceability
  • Environment Segregation & Promotion Controls
Phase 5 — OPERATE – Runtime Integrity
  • Secure Configuration Baselines
  • Vulnerability Management & Patch Governance
  • Logging & Monitoring Controls
Phase 6 — GOVERN – Oversight & Risk
  • Exception Management & Risk Acceptance
  • DevSecOps Maturity Measurement & Reporting

How We Work

A clear 3-step process from discovery to audit readiness

Discovery

We conduct a thorough gap analysis and control mapping review to identify compliance risks before any automation begins.

Automation Build

We design and implement CI/CD pipelines that automatically generate audit-ready compliance evidence mapped to your regulatory framework.

Audit Readiness

Continuous monitoring and reporting keeps you inspection-ready at all times—without disrupting delivery.

What You Can Expect

Clear scope. Structured delivery. Measurable outcomes.

Reduced Audit Preparation Time

Increased Deployment Confidence

Clear Regulatory Control Traceability

Lower Manual Compliance Burden

Executive-Level Reporting Visibility

Make Compliance Part of Your Pipeline — Not a Bottleneck
