Many organizations are working hard to meet NIS2, DORA, or supply-chain-security requirements.
And yet they still fail at a point that seems almost trivial:
👉 They can’t technically prove what actually happened.
Auditors ask:
“Show me when, by whom, why, how, and with what something was deployed.”
And the usual reality is:
— 7 tools
— 5 ticket systems
— 0 unified evidence
— 100% headache
The solution is simple — but hard to enforce:
Everything that matters must live versioned in Git.
Code
IaC
Policies-as-Code
Pipelines
Evidence
Risk decisions
Recovery paths
Not scattered.
Not “documented somewhere.”
But commit-based, signed, traceable.
That turns Git into the Technical Source of Trust.
And suddenly NIS2 & DORA become things you can prove, not just answer vaguely.
🔐 NIS2
End-to-end automated traceability across the entire software supply chain — without manual heroism.
🧩 DORA
Operational resilience by design through reproducible recovery paths and verifiable risk decisions.
🇪🇺 Digital Sovereignty
Sovereign code hosting: the technical proof that you operate independently, controllably, and audit-ready.
What GitSecOps Changes in Practice
No more “documentation theater”
Auditors review technical evidence — not slide decks
Dev, Sec, and Ops speak from the same data
Every decision is versioned
Every deviation is visible
Every delivery is auditable
Why I'm Writing About This
I build systems that prove trust — not promise it.
And GitSecOps is the first approach that puts compliance on a technical foundation without slowing down teams.
If you want to see how GitSecOps can be implemented in practice, I regularly share patterns, examples, and real use cases here.
