Ensuring compliance in developer workflows
Blog post from GitHub
Organizations can maintain compliance with regulatory frameworks such as GLBA, SOX, and HIPAA without disrupting developer workflows by leveraging tools on the GitHub Enterprise platform. Developers are crucial in maintaining a secure software development lifecycle, and GitHub offers resources like code and secret scanning to detect vulnerabilities and prevent the introduction of sensitive data such as PII, PHI, and PCI into codebases. Automated code reviews and push protection features enhance security by enforcing standards and preventing unauthorized data from entering repositories. GitHub Actions and secrets management help ensure compliance and standardization across the software development lifecycle, while logging and monitoring capabilities provide real-time insight into changes and potential security threats. By adopting GitHub's features incrementally, organizations can streamline their development processes, improve security, and adhere to industry standards, all while reducing developer friction and maintaining productivity.
