Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

Consolidation of fragmented software development tools into a single DevOps platform, embedding regulatory compliance controls directly into the CI/CD pipeline.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"Industry gold standard for 'Regulated DevOps'. By automating governance, the bank turned compliance from a bottleneck into a code-based gate, increasing velocity without compromising risk."

warning The Challenge

With thousands of developers working on mission-critical financial software, the bank faced significant 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 at scale. This resulted in slow, manual audit processes and increased the risk of vulnerabilities or non-compliant code slipping into production, which could trigger regulatory fines.

psychology The Solution

The bank consolidated its software delivery lifecycle onto a single DevOps platform, creating a 'Single Source of Truth' for code. They implemented a 'Compliance-as-Code' strategy, 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 or lacks required approvals, the pipeline automatically blocks deployment, ensuring that only compliant software reaches production.
