Ace your next software audit with Continuous Compliance

Your CI server isn’t a database - it’s also hard to secure and has lots of mutable data. For compliance purposes you need a tamper-proof way of gathering and storing evidence. Kosli captures and stores your compliance data in an append-only format that’s easy to query.

GitOps has been extremely important in moving from imperative to declarative definitions of deployments and infrastructure. This helps, but only as desired states for certain systems. GitOps doesn’t capture the full lifecycle data on how and when events are applied. Think of Kosli like Git, but for every event in your DevOps landscape.

Continuous compliance is a practice that involves integrating compliance checks and controls into the development and deployment processes. It differs from traditional compliance practices by embedding compliance activities throughout the entire software lifecycle, enabling organizations to maintain compliance in real-time and respond rapidly to changes.

Continuous compliance monitoring provides organizations with real-time visibility into their compliance posture, helping them proactively manage risks and maintain regulatory compliance. It enables faster detection and remediation of compliance issues, reducing the likelihood of penalties and reputational damage.

Implementing continuous compliance automation in a DevOps environment offers several advantages. It streamlines compliance processes, reduces manual effort, and ensures consistent application of compliance controls.

Continuous inspection is a critical component of the DevOps framework as it allows for ongoing evaluation of code, infrastructure, and configurations to ensure compliance with security standards and regulations. By integrating continuous inspection practices, organizations can identify compliance gaps early on and remediate them promptly, minimizing compliance risks and vulnerabilities.

AWS provides robust support for continuous compliance through various tools and services. AWS Config allows continuous monitoring and evaluation of resource configurations, while AWS CloudTrail provides detailed logs for tracking and auditing API activity. AWS Security Hub offers a centralized dashboard for continuous security and compliance monitoring. Additionally, AWS Trusted Advisor offers automated checks to ensure adherence to best practices, and AWS Systems Manager enables automated patching and compliance scanning of instances.
