"That's not SOC 2 compliant"

This stance is a breath of fresh air. In my experience change management is the first thing to slap on when a bad release happens.

I've worked at a large enterprise that have a "Change Advisory Board", that you need to convince when you want to bump the major version on your linter. It has the effect of velocity slowing down to a crawl. Changes have to large, since otherwise it wouldn't be approved by the CAB. A slow mess.

At my current place we have to loudly declare "I CONFIRM COMPLIANCE" in every PR description. I'm not sure that anyone knows why, but it keeps the bureaucrats happy. Shrug

I was in a high trust environment that didn't use dual auth on some things. They lost $250k to embezzlement.

High trust is high trust until someone exploits it, and the likelihood of encountering an exploit (embezzlement, fraud, political speech, etc.) approaches 100 as the total number of staff hours increase.

Youre required to have a policy. That policy may be throwing bananas at the wall, but if it's documented and you follow it, you're compliant with policy.

Does there exist any tool to analyze PR feedback quality and usefulness?

I've been trying to explain to compliance employees that if the majority of PR reviews anyway is just "LGTM - Just merge" (I don't care), what's the actual value of PRs? It's just facade.

On a different note, we're looking into artifact attestations and admissions through Sigstore, which is solves many of the same challenges but through different means.

AICPA should have spent 5 seconds on a web search to find out that SoC means System on a Chip, and chosen something else.

Soc2 is pointless.

But how do they review each other's work? Prs are indispensable for collaboration...

there goes the neighborhood

So an engineer who knows your codebase and tests can sneak in malicious code/backdoors because you're high trust.

And I am guessing you'll extend that high trust to your agents/'orbs' next. And I am sure you'll find an auditor who'll go with it coz frankly most don't care.

I am not surprised there are folks willing to do this, but I am surprised that you feel you must brag about it. And you ARE bragging when you title the post the way you did. Good luck.
