Merge-gate automation

PRs with proof. Every merge, every time.

Certus sits on the merge gate, orchestrates CI, SAST, SBOM, and IaC checks, then emits a signed Evidence Pack so reviewers, auditors, and regulators see the exact proof captured at merge time.

Instrument. Verify. Prove.

Certus lives at the merge gate, so engineering teams keep shipping while auditors receive a cryptographic record for every change.

Step 1
Instrument

Install the Certus GitHub App or drop the CLI in your pipeline. We ingest metadata only.

Step 2
Verify

Every PR runs tests, Semgrep, Syft/Grype, and maps controls across SOC-2, HIPAA, PCI.

Step 3
Prove

Certus comments on the PR with pass/fail plus a downloadable JSON/PDF evidence pack.

Prediction & Quality

Predict risk before you merge

Certus surfaces risk, evidence completeness, and control coverage before reviewers even open the PR.

Risk score

Low

Based on diff size, touched components, and historical flakiness.

Evidence completeness

100%

All required tests, scans, and exports present for this change.

Control coverage

The Chromaflow Stack

Chromaflow is Octave-X's agentic SDLC engine. It decomposes every ticket into a plan, drafts code, runs property-based tests, and hands the diff to Certus for attestation. The result is an autonomous workflow where humans review strategy while the platform maintains compliance.

Why Enterprise Teams Adopt Certus

You ship into the most regulated markets on earth. That means every merge must satisfy auditors, security leaders, and regulators before the hotfix hits prod. Certus bakes in SBOM, Semgrep, and license gates, then emits a signed Evidence Pack per change—no more screenshotting dashboards at audit time.

Pilot Outcomes We Commit To

• < 48h compliant lead time from ticket to merge. • 0 high/critical findings at merge. • Audit exports mapped to SOC-2/PCI controls. • Reviewers and QSAs sign evidence via Certus without leaving their workflow.

Compliance evidence on autopilot

Certus builds the control map for you — each requirement links to the test, scan, or policy that proves the change.

SOC-2

CC 2.1, 3.2, 7.3 covered with automated artifacts.

HIPAA

Access logs, integrity checks, encryption attestations on every merge.

PCI-DSS

Dependency risk + SBOM satisfy requirement 6.x change control.

Real impact on your
development workflow

Enterprise pilots feel like Linear but with governance baked in: every handset, wall, or SOC desk inherits the same calm typography and dynamic workflows. Remove the clutter, keep the posture rail, and let reviewers glide through evidence.

  • Live posture rail

    SLA timers watch every repo with drift detection + anomaly surfacing.

  • Signed ledger packs

    Each PR mints Cosign, SBOM, and control mappings in a single packet.

  • Policy-locked merges

    Risky merges freeze automatically until reviewers clear the controls.

Security & data handling

Designed for auditors, approved by security leads

Certus operates with the same controls we help you enforce: least privilege, deterministic logging, and evidence streams you can hand directly to examiners.

Data handling

  • Least privilege GitHub App · no source persisted on Certus systems
  • Artifacts encrypted with your KMS keys or CMK-backed install
  • Evidence retention windows aligned to your regulatory mandate

Deployment options

  • Hosted merge-gate with dedicated shards in us-east-1 and eu-west-1
  • Private VPC install with outbound controls and customer runners
  • QLDB ledger + Snowflake/Splunk streaming for independent attestation

Data flow

1 · GitHub/GitLab

Metadata + webhook events only

2 · Certus Control Plane

Blueprint compile, policy orchestration

3 · Customer Runners

CI/SAST/SBOM execution – logs stay local

4 · Evidence Stores
