How a fast-growing tech firm aligned audits and engineering without adding headcount
Bridging GRC and Engineering in One Workflow
The Challenge
A global brands cloud environment was scaling quickly but found itself bottlenecked by governance and compliance reviews. GRC teams wrote up findings, but there was no clear path to resolution. Engineering teams worked in Agile sprints and had no time or clarity on how to interpret ISO 27001 and SOC 2 requirements. As audits approached, panic set in.
Key Challenges:
- Compliance findings weren’t integrated into engineering workflows
- GRC language didn’t translate into technical implementation
- Teams wasted time on traceability and evidence gathering for audits
Solution
TrustOnCloud automated the translation of compliance obligations into engineering tasks. It generated controls in formats engineering teams could implement directly and pushed them into JIRA backlogs. Each control came with test instructions and expected results, ensuring audit traceability was built-in from the start.
Results
- Compliance tasks integrated into sprint planning tools
- Audit traceability linked to actual implemented controls
- Reduced audit prep time and eliminated rework
