We feel the recognition underscores growing enterprise demand for automated compliance integrated directly into DevOps pipelines

TYSONS, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

RegScale, the continuous controls monitoring (CCM) platform delivering real-time compliance automation and regulatory intelligence, today announced it has been included in the Gartner Market Guide for DevOps Continuous Compliance Automation Tools.

As organizations accelerate cloud adoption and modern software development practices, compliance processes are increasingly struggling to keep pace with DevOps delivery cycles. Manual documentation, point-in-time assessments and siloed audit preparation create friction for engineering teams while leaving organizations exposed to regulatory risk.

The Gartner Market Guide for DevOps Continuous Compliance Automation Tools 2026 recommends organizations “Implement continuous, automated regulatory compliance checking and evidence reporting for product delivery by integrating compliance verification directly during the integration and build phases. DevOps pipelines should serve as a centralized control point for compliance enforcement, enabling continuous compliance, reduced manual effort, and real-time, auditable evidence to support regulatory requirements.”

RegScale helps organizations operationalize compliance as code by embedding automated control validation, evidence collection and regulatory mapping directly into DevSecOps workflows. The platform enables security, risk and engineering teams to continuously verify that applications and infrastructure remain compliant throughout the development lifecycle, while generating real-time, audit-ready evidence aligned to regulatory frameworks.

“Modern software delivery moves too quickly for traditional compliance approaches,” said Travis Howerton, co-founder and CEO of RegScale. “Organizations need compliance systems that operate at the same speed as DevOps pipelines. RegScale enables teams to automate regulatory validation, continuously monitor controls and produce real-time evidence, transforming compliance from a manual checkpoint into a continuous, machine-driven capability.”

The report also states the rapid growth of this category. Gartner projects that by 2028, “65% of organizations will have integrated compliance automation into their DevOps workflows, reducing compliance risk and improving lead time by at least 25%.” Additionally, Garner assumes “...by 2028, 75% of all DevOps continuous compliance automation (DCCA) processes will leverage AI technology to drive efficiencies in auditing, reporting, validating and remediating regulatory compliance.”

Built as an AI-powered compliance automation platform, RegScale connects regulatory requirements to machine-readable controls, automates control validation across cloud and infrastructure environments, and continuously collects evidence from DevOps pipelines. This approach allows organizations to shift compliance from a reactive audit exercise to a continuous operational process embedded within software delivery.

Enterprises across regulated industries including federal government, financial services, energy and critical infrastructure use RegScale to automate regulatory workflows and maintain continuous compliance across complex technology environments.
