DevSecOps: Pull-Request Compliance Validation

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.
