According to Gartner, “Organizations adopting DevOps struggle to quickly integrate and demonstrate compliance requirements across their workflows. I&O leaders must use compliance automation tools to enforce guardrails, identify and assess gaps in policies, and audit security and compliance across delivery life cycles."
In the Gartner Market Guide for DevOps Continuous Compliance Automation Tools, Gartner analysts provide an overview of the challenges organizations face and key findings, including:
Compliance and auditing processes are often not integrated into application development and delivery workflows, hindering speed and agility, and leading to poor security and compliance outcomes.
Taking a waterfall approach to compliance control checks and reporting results in audit findings that cause rework, leading to delays in product delivery cycle times.
Extensive manual efforts are required to assess, identify, remediate and report compliance items in delivery activities.
By 2026, 70% of enterprises will have integrated compliance as code into their DevOps toolchains, reducing risk management and improving lead time by at least 15%.
