Dear Security, Compliance, and Audit. We’re Sorry, Love DevOps
Hold onto your hats, folks, because we're about to have a blast while tackling the G-word: Governance.
Yes, you heard me right, the bitter pill we've all had to swallow just got a sprinkle of sugar, a pinch of laughter, and a dash of wit. Get ready to bid adieu to those dreaded DevSecAuditComplianceOps tongue twisters and say hello to our new best friend: Modern Governance.
Software is like a romantic dinner. It requires attention, care, and yes, a little bit of governance. But why does it stink worse than your old gym socks? Because we've been doing it all wrong! Fear not, I have a secret recipe that will transform the stink into an aromatic aura. It will allow you to sprint from commit to production with no human hands, making you feel like a superhero flying high above mundane earthly worries. The cherry on top? Meeting those pesky visibility, security, compliance, and audit requirements every time without fail.
Remember when DevOps played Cupid and resolved the epic love-hate saga between Developers and Operators? Yeah, they left out some key characters from our story, the unsung heroes - Security, Compliance, and Audit.
So, join us as we don our superhero capes and deep-dive into Modern Governance, the Batman to our governance Gotham City. It’s just like applying Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles & practices to governance. But instead of dealing with boring, mundane, and toil-ridden governance processes, we're putting the 'fun' back in 'functional'.
From standard line-of-business software to edge, IoT, and every software artifact in between, let's revamp the governance narrative. Trust me, you won't want to miss this roller coaster ride through the thrilling world of Modern Governance. Bring your popcorn, we're in for an entertaining session!

“Investments Unlimited: A Novel About DevOps, Security, Audit Compliance, and Thriving in the Digital Age” (2022)
In the vein of the bestselling The Phoenix Project and The Unicorn Project, Investments Unlimited radically rethinks how organizations can handle the audit, compliance, and security of their software systems―even in highly regulated industries. By introducing concepts, tools, and ideas to reimagine governance, Investments Unlimited catalyzes a more humane way to enable high-velocity software delivery that is inherently more secure. Investments Unlimited, Inc. has accomplished what many other firms in their industry have failed to do: they have successfully navigated the transition from legacy ways of working to the digital frontier. With the help of DevOps practices, Investments Unlimited delivers value to its customers with speed and agility. But now, all that work is about to fall apart. Sure, DevOps helped the company adapt, but it also failed them. While features moved through the organization swiftly, their governance process became inundated with friction, frustration, and failure. And now, their inability to deliver what they promise has led regulators to slap them with an MRIA (matter requiring immediate attention), the final warning before cease-and-desist letters and fire sales. With the future of Investments Unlimited on the line, a cross-functional team of executives and engineers has just months to develop a modern governance process that satisfies regulators but doesn't slow down the company's ability to compete in the market. It is up to this ragtag team to navigate trials, tribulations, site failures, and supply chain attacks, all on their path to save the company from disaster.
