warning The Challenge

With thousands of developers working on mission-critical financial software, the bank faced challenges with toolchain fragmentation. Different teams used different tools for source control, testing, and deployment, making it difficult to enforce standard security and compliance policies. This resulted in a slow, manual audit process and increased the risk of vulnerabilities slipping into production code.

psychology The Solution

The bank consolidated its software delivery lifecycle onto the GitLab platform, creating a 'Single Source of Truth' for code and compliance. They implemented 'Compliance-as-Code', where regulatory controls (e.g., segregation of duties, code review requirements, security scanning) are defined as code and automatically enforced within the Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline. If code fails a security scan, the build is automatically blocked, preventing non-compliant software from ever reaching production.
