How engineering teams codify and enforce regulatory compliance policies directly inside CI/CD deployment pipelines.
Over 80% of cloud security breaches result from human misconfigurations, such as accidentally exposing an S3 storage bucket or leaving an SSH port open to the public internet.
By integrating OPA and Conftest into CI/CD pipelines, security policies are tested as code: any Terraform pull request that attempts to create an unencrypted database volume or public subnet is automatically rejected at the git commit level.
IaC configurations serve as living, version-controlled documentation of compliance posture, providing external auditors with immediate evidence of encryption, backup schedules, and access controls.
