==DISCOVERING AND USING APPLICATION DEPLOYMENT DEPENDENCIES TO AUGMENT GOVERNANCE AND COMPLIANCE POLICY - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17541864 titled 'DISCOVERING AND USING APPLICATION DEPLOYMENT DEPENDENCIES TO AUGMENT GOVERNANCE AND COMPLIANCE POLICY

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a process for ensuring compliance with regulations and policies in a cloud-based security and compliance platform. 

* The process is designed to address the problem of misalignment between compliance policies and the actual regulation posture of a product after deployment.
* It provides tools and methods to proactively augment governance and compliance policies during the pre-deployment phase.
* This allows for the regulation posture of the product to be consistent with the compliance policy when it is deployed in the future.
* The process can be applied to any DevOps-based deployment of a product, such as an enterprise application.

==Potential Applications==
* Cloud-based security and compliance platforms
* DevOps-based deployments of enterprise applications

==Problems Solved==
* Misalignment between compliance policies and regulation posture after deployment
* Lack of proactive augmentation of governance and compliance policies during the pre-deployment phase

==Benefits==
* Ensures consistency between compliance policies and regulation posture
* Proactively addresses compliance issues before deployment
* Streamlines the compliance discovery and integration process


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A compliance discovery and integration process is implemented in association with a cloud-based security and compliance platform and associated CI/CD framework. The process assumes an existing DevOps-based deployment of a product, such as an enterprise application that executes in a runtime production environment. The technique of this disclosure addresses the problem of misalignment between a compliance policy and the product’s post-deployment regulation posture by providing tools and methods that enable pro-active augmentation of governance and compliance policy during the pre-deployment phase and with respect to a next deployment of the product (e.g., a next or updated version). Thus, when the product is later deployed in its next deployment, its regulation posture (post-deployment) is already consistent with the compliance policy.
