Governance, risk, and compliance

We often measure DevOps success using the DORA metrics, which measure the throughput and stability of software changes. However, the capability model has techniques and practices that enhance other aspects of software delivery, such as security and compliance.

A strong deployment pipeline can include automated security scanning, vulnerability assessments, and dependency checks. It can also provide robust role-based access control (RBAC) to limit who can perform operations in different environments and join the chain of custody for changes to software and infrastructure made through version control.

Creating a high-performance DevOps toolchain makes it easier to evidence your compliance with standards like ISO:27001, PCI DSS, or the EU digital operations and resilience act (DORA).

When your tools automatically capture the audit trail, evidence segregation of duties, and enforce policies, your software becomes more secure and audits become a breeze.
