Software velocity has outpaced traditional governance. As teams release code faster, manual compliance reviews, spreadsheets, and screenshots create a massive bottleneck.
Releases move faster than you can prove they comply.
- Exploding Code Volume: AI agents and pipelines ship faster than any reviewer reads.
- Expanding Attack Surface: Supply chain attacks target pipelines and binaries, making source-level scanning insufficient on its own.
- Strict Regulatory Mandates: Regulations and frameworks like the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), DORA, NIST/SSDF, and FedRAMP require continuous, legally defensible proof of compliance.
- Evidence Gathering Friction: Nearly 48% of CISOs identify manual evidence collection as one of their greatest operational hurdles.
