How GitLab went about choosing the right compliance framework

Smaller companies often struggle with information security compliance due to the complexity of integrating multiple frameworks into established processes, but GitLab's early adoption of a formalized compliance program during their Series C funding allowed them to proactively address this challenge. By choosing an "umbrella framework" approach, leveraging Adobe's open-source Common Controls Framework (CCF), GitLab efficiently aggregates security controls from various industry standards such as ISO, SOC, and PCI, reducing redundancy and increasing internal efficiency. This approach enables GitLab to create comprehensive security controls, streamline requests to internal teams, and maintain credibility within the organization. By aligning the compliance process with their product workflow, GitLab has rapidly developed a robust compliance program and plans to share their insights and resources with the wider community to support other organizations in their compliance efforts.
