Introducing Custom Compliance Frameworks in GitLab

GitLab has introduced Custom Compliance Frameworks and 50 out-of-the-box (OOTB) controls to streamline compliance processes within fast-paced DevSecOps pipelines, addressing the increasing complexity of multiple compliance standards like ISO 27001, the CIS Benchmark, and SOC 2. These frameworks allow organizations to map overlapping controls from various standards into a single, unified framework, enhancing efficiency and reducing the reliance on manual processes and costly consultants. By embedding compliance directly into GitLab's CI/CD pipelines, compliance is automatically enforced, minimizing disruptions in development and allowing teams to focus on delivering secure software while accelerating compliance adoption. This integration offers real-time visibility and automated evidence collection, significantly reducing the time developers spend on audit and compliance tasks, thereby bridging the gap between development speed and security requirements. These features are available in GitLab Ultimate, and according to a Forrester Total Economic Impact Study, they can reduce developer compliance time by 90% and shorten external audit durations from several weeks to under one week.
