When technology outpaces security compliance
Jun 10, 2019Luka Trbojevic

Summary
This post discusses the evolving landscape of security compliance frameworks in light of rapid technological advancements such as cloud computing, serverless, containerization, and zero trust architectures. It highlights that traditional frameworks often lag behind current technology. GitLab is actively contributing to this evolution by developing its own compliance controls framework and open-sourcing it to provide a practical, real-world reference for other organizations. The post also touches upon the shift in how and where work is done, particularly with the adoption of all-remote policies, and how this impacts physical security controls.
