What if audits weren’t painful, but automatic? Discover how to turn compliance into code, eliminate fire drills, and run a thousand audits a day, without breaking a sweat.
We deploy code a thousand times a day, yet when it comes to compliance we still use spreadsheets like it is 1985. Endless paperwork. Manual reviews. Last-minute fire drills. We’ve all been there.
It does not have to be this way.
This talk challenges that status quo. It introduces a practical, forward-thinking approach where compliance is automated, seamlessly integrated into CI/CD pipelines, and capable of detecting risks in real time. Where engineers get instant feedback without switching context. Where compliance is just part of the dev flow, not a blocker at the end of it.
So, what does painless compliance actually look like?
First, we need to treat compliance the same way we treat customer requirements: as features. Not as 400-page PDFs filled with legalese, but as clear, structured requirements defined in our own language, tailored to our systems. When we do this, we unlock real conversations, reduce ambiguity, and make compliance understandable and actionable.
Next comes the magic: automated validation. It’s not enough to say we’ve implemented a control, we need to prove it, continuously. If storage encryption is required, we don’t just enable it. We generate dashboards that prove it’s working. We build reports that our compliance teams can take straight into the audit, with no disruption to engineering.
And we monitor it. If something goes out of compliance, be it unencrypted storage or misconfigured access, we get alerted immediately. No surprises, no scrambling before an audit.
And here’s the best part: if you’re in the cloud, you already have everything you need to do this today.
A thousand audits a day. One click. Zero drama. Not only is it possible, it’s the future. Let’s build it.
Key takeaways
- Compliance can be automated
- Treat compliance as a product requirement
- Prove, don’t just implement
- Empower engineers with instant feedback
- You already have the tools
