Onboarding Guardrails

Mandatory or optional controls per tier, enforced everywhere

Admins author controls that are mandatory or optional per service tier, then the platform enforces them in three places: at onboarding, at deploy as a policy gate, and continuously through the scorecard. New services cannot skip the controls your organization requires. Governance stops being a checklist and becomes something the pipeline holds the line on.

  • Required controls are held by the platform, not trusted to team process or checklists
  • Compliance state is visible continuously so drift is caught before the next audit
  • Every new service starts with the right controls already in place for its tier

The problem

You have governance controls written down somewhere, but nothing actually enforces them when a new service is registered or promoted to production. Teams move fast, a required step gets skipped, and the gap only becomes visible when an auditor asks for evidence you do not have.

Without IntegraCI

  • Controls live in documents and checklists no pipeline reads
  • New services skip required steps with no block and no record
  • Compliance drift is invisible until an audit surfaces it
  • Each team interprets policy differently based on who onboarded last

With IntegraCI

  • Controls authored once by admins and enforced by the platform
  • Required controls block onboarding and deploy until they are met
  • The scorecard measures compliance continuously, not just at registration
  • One rule set applies at every enforcement point across every service tier

What you get

Admin-authored controls

Admins define which controls apply, so policy comes from your organization rather than from defaults nobody owns.

Mandatory or optional per tier

Each control is required or optional based on a service tier, matching rigor to risk.

Three enforcement points

Controls are enforced at onboarding, at deploy as a policy gate, and continuously through the scorecard.

No skipping required controls

New services cannot bypass the controls your organization marks as mandatory for their tier.

How it works

  1. 1

    Author controls

    An admin defines controls and marks each as mandatory or optional per tier.

  2. 2

    Gate at onboarding and deploy

    The platform checks controls when a service is onboarded and again at deploy as a policy gate.

  3. 3

    Track continuously

    The scorecard keeps measuring controls over time so compliance does not quietly decay.

How it stays governed

The same gates everyone passes, applied here.

Gated by policy

Controls are defined as policy as code by your admins and evaluated at two gates: when a service is onboarded and again at deploy. A service in the wrong tier or missing a required control cannot proceed through either gate, so the rule cannot be bypassed by choosing a different path or skipping a step.

Recorded, tamper-evident

Every enforcement decision at onboarding and at the deploy gate writes to a tamper-evident audit trail, recording the control name, the service tier, and the outcome. The continuous scorecard adds an ongoing record, so you can show not just the initial compliance state but whether it held over time.

Works with your stack

Connect the tools you already run.

Source control and CI/CD connectors feed the onboarding and deploy gates; security connectors supply evidence for controls; ITSM connectors can surface compliance state alongside service records.

Who it’s for

Where teams reach for it.

Regulated service onboarding

When your organization registers a new service in a regulated domain, the platform checks every mandatory control for that tier before the service is allowed to proceed. Onboarding cannot be completed by skipping a required step.

Tiered deploy governance

A team promoting a critical-tier service to production hits a deploy gate that evaluates the same controls an auditor would check. Standard-tier services face a lighter set, matching rigor to actual risk without a separate process for each.

Continuous compliance tracking

After a service passes initial onboarding, the scorecard keeps measuring its controls over time. If something that was in place at registration quietly falls out of compliance, the scorecard reflects it before the next audit window.

Questions, answered.

Does IntegraCI replace the tools my teams already use to meet controls?

No. IntegraCI governs the controls your organization defines, not the tools behind them. You continue using whatever scanners, registries, or checks you already run. IntegraCI decides whether those checks have been met before a service is allowed to proceed.

Who authors the controls, and how are they maintained?

An admin in your organization defines which controls apply and marks each one as mandatory or optional for each service tier. Controls are authored once through the platform and applied consistently from that point forward, without needing to update individual pipeline files.

What happens when a required control is not met?

The platform blocks the service from advancing, whether at onboarding or at the deploy gate. The block is recorded in the audit trail so you can see which control was required, which was missing, and when the attempt was made.

Can we apply stricter controls to higher-risk services without affecting the rest?

Yes. Each control is configured as mandatory or optional per service tier, so a critical-tier service can be held to a different standard than a standard-tier service. The same rule set evaluates each service against the tier it belongs to.
