GitOps for Regulated Environments
Argo CD/Flux with approvals, policy-as-code, and compliance automation
The Challenge
A healthcare SaaS company needed to adopt GitOps for faster deployments, but faced strict HIPAA and SOC 2 requirements. Every production change needed approval trails, policy enforcement, and audit logs. Traditional GitOps tools lacked the compliance controls and approval workflows required for regulated industries.
Compliance-First GitOps
✅
Approval Workflows
Multi-stage approval gates integrated with Argo CD. Production deployments require security + SRE approval with documented change tickets.
📜
Policy-as-Code
OPA/Kyverno policies enforce security baselines, resource limits, and compliance requirements. All changes validated before deployment.
🔒
Environment Promotion
Strict dev → staging → production promotion path. Automated testing and security scans at each gate before promotion.
📊
Audit & Compliance
Complete audit trail of all deployments, approvals, and policy decisions. Automated compliance reports for SOC 2 and HIPAA audits.
