Security audits and compliance reviews are often seen by engineering teams as disruptive events that slow development and introduce additional process requirements. At the same time, governance and security leaders are responsible for demonstrating accountability, risk management, and regulatory alignment.

This session explores how engineering teams can better prepare for audit and compliance activities while maintaining development velocity. Rather than approaching audits as last-minute events, organizations can build governance practices that integrate naturally into engineering workflows.

Drawing on practical governance and risk management experience, the session examines common gaps that appear during audits, why these gaps occur, and how engineering and governance teams can collaborate to address them before they become findings.

Attendees will gain practical strategies for preparing systems, documentation, and processes for security and compliance reviews without disrupting modern development practices.
