Alright, enough theory. Chapters 1 and 2 armed you with the 'what' and 'why' of compliance frameworks. Now for the hard part: the 'how'. How do you actually bake this stuff into your daily development workflow without bringing everything to a grinding halt?
This chapter gets practical. We're talking about making compliance work in the real world, for real developers and engineering teams. We'll cover the no-BS approach to:
- Choosing the right frameworks: Slicing through the options without getting bogged down.
- Building compliant DevSecOps pipelines: Automating checks and evidence collection where it makes sense.
- Training your team: Getting developers up to speed without boring them to death.
- Prepping for audits: Knowing what evidence actually matters in a dev context.
- Keeping it going: Maintaining compliance long-term without constant fire drills.
Forget compliance theatre. Let's focus on practical steps to integrate security and compliance effectively into how you already build software.
