Compliance Scoring on Every Pull Request

Customer Type: Developer Platform / SDLC Tooling Provider

Primary Framework(s): PCI / NIST / SOC2 + Responsible AI Guidelines

Workflow Type: Code Scan Findings → Control Mapping → PR Gating

Customer Profile

  • Software platform embedding security + compliance into developer workflows
  • Needs framework flexibility per project/customer
  • Wants compliance validation before deployment, not during audits

The Challenge

  • Scanners produced findings without framework-level control interpretation
  • Compliance checks were manual and too late in the lifecycle
  • No deterministic way to translate findings into “control violations”
  • Needed a scoring model to gate deployments on compliance impact

How They Used CMAI

  • Ran secure coding scans using predefined internal policies
  • Sent each scan finding into CMAI with a target framework
  • Received mapped controls and violation context
  • Published results to developer documentation (wiki/PR summary)
  • Used compliance scoring to gate merges/deployments

Implementation Pattern

Code Scan Findings → CMAI API → Control Mappings + Score → PR Checks + Dev Wiki

Results Delivered

  • Shift-Left Compliance baked into SDLC
  • Immediate Developer Feedback tied to frameworks
  • Prevents Non-Compliant Code from reaching production

Why This Was a Fit

They needed a small, deterministic backend service that translates scan output into framework controls—without adding a new UI.

Drop-In Compliance Annotation (Universal Pattern)

CMAI is deployed as a stateless API inside existing pipelines to automatically tag findings, policies, and questionnaires with structured control mappings—without requiring platform migration or centralized data storage.
