SDLC GOVERNANCE · CONTROLS ENGINEERING

AI ships in minutes,
but your CAB
meets next week.

Kosli is governance infrastructure for AI assisted software delivery - a platform that engineers the controls, evidence, and audit trails needed by regulated industries to ship software at agentic speed without losing compliance.

Automating SDLC governance in the world's largest banks and regulated industries

Read the case studies
Kosli addresses the specific needs of software development teams that operate in highly regulated industries. We are delighted to partner and collaborate with Kosli to drive our vision of a highly efficient, transparent, and secure software development lifecycle.
Martin Reeves, Engineering Platforms and Practice Lead Deutsche Bank
Kosli has been a great partner — not just for the product, but for the end-to-end thinking around building well-governed processes.

Open standards · FINOS

Developing the standard for SDLC Governance with the world's largest banks.

We co-chair the FINOS SDLC Common Controls Working Group, where major banks, auditors, and software vendors are collaborating on an open, industry-wide standard for automated software controls.

Work with us to shape how the industry governs AI-generated code, agentic pipelines, and chain-of-custody for regulated software — before the regulators write the rules for you.

Not a bank? Not all our customers are either...

Banks and financial services are leading the way on SDLC Governance and you can join them. If you’re in a regulated industry where governance is making it difficult to deliver software changes at scale, contact us to learn more.

The bottleneck

Legacy governance can't handle the tidal wave of AI changes.

AI agents are writing, reviewing, testing, and deploying code around the clock. Manual approvals, audits, and change advisory boards were never built to keep up.

01 / Scale

AI is adding another 100× on top of DevOps.

DevOps drove a >100× increase in change volume and strained governance to breaking point. AI-driven development is adding another 100×. At that scale, you can't throw humans at the problem.

02 / Cost

Every AI gain gets lost by change management.

The faster AI ships, the more your approval costs compound — you end up paying a tax for AI productivity. Not only is manual governance slowing you down, it’s costing you more money.

03 / Risk

Automating a broken process exposes you to more risk.

When governance is too burdensome, engineers find workarounds — and agents will too. Automating a paper process just means you're doing a risky thing faster and more often.

Controls engineering

Learn how to turn governance into code.

Controls Engineering applies modern software engineering practices, requirements, testing, automation, observability, to the controls that govern software delivery. A control becomes a software product, not a paperwork exercise.

DevOps applied software engineering to operations. SRE applied it to reliability. Controls Engineering applies it to governance.

BUILD · SOFTWARE SUPPLY CHAIN

Record cryptographic build provenance, SBOMs, and vulnerability scanning evidence to create a zero-trust chain of custody.

What does an automated control look like?

Manual controls are tickets, documents, and trust. An engineered one is policy as code, the hard evidence behind it, and an immutable decision on every event.

Integration

Works with your legacy systems.
Built for your agentic future.

Enterprises are caught between legacy infrastructure and an agentic future. Kosli is the governance infrastructure that integrates with the systems you rely on today — while giving your agents the context they need to govern themselves tomorrow.

Today

Your existing technology is complex, legacy, and valuable.

Existing governance tools are either ticketing systems for legacy technology or built for cloud-native — but the enterprise needs both. Kosli's tool-agnostic approach works whether you're running containers from a modern pipeline or automating a legacy release process.

Tomorrow

The next evolution of your SDLC is self-governing agents.

The future isn't humans governing agents — it's agents governing themselves. Kosli provides the full context graph across your entire SDLC, allowing you to build autonomous, agentic controls.

Built for complexity. Proven at scale.

Large legacy software organizations don't run on clean, modern stacks. They run on decades of accumulated toolchains, legacy systems, and organizational politics. Kosli is built for your reality, not an idealized version of it, and we build close relationships with our customers to ensure continuous improvements over the long term.

01

Built to handle diverse tech stacks in complex orgs.

Hundreds of teams, mixed toolchains, legacy release processes alongside modern pipelines. Most governance tools assume you've modernized. Kosli governs what you actually have.

02

Backed by the banks we're built for.

Founded in 2019, we're a post Series A company with funding from Deutsche Bank CVC. We co-lead FINOS working groups with tier-1 banks and work alongside their technologists to define industry standards.

03

Engineering-led, discovery to delivery.

The people you meet during discovery are the same people who will deliver for you after procurement. Every engagement runs end-to-end with the same senior team. No account managers, no hand-offs.

Frequently asked

Questions you might be asking.

Still curious? Talk to us →

  • How is this different from our existing DevOps or ITSM tools?

    Developer platforms, ITSMs, and supply-chain security tools each solve a slice of the problem — but none are designed to govern an SDLC end to end. Kosli is the only platform purpose-built as a record of truth across every stage, every tool, every environment.

  • Do we need to replace our existing pipeline?

    No. Kosli is tool-agnostic and integrates alongside your existing CI, CD, and approval workflows. You keep your pipeline; we add a control plane on top.

  • How long does it take to roll out?

    Most teams ship their first governed pipeline in days, not quarters. Full SDLC coverage typically lands in weeks — measured in flows onboarded, not platforms migrated.

  • Does Kosli slow down our developers?

    No — controls run in the background and only surface a friction point when policy is genuinely violated. Most teams see lead time go down because evidence, approvals, and audit trails stop being manual handoffs.

  • How does this work for our AI agents and coding tools?

    Kosli treats agents and humans the same: every action becomes evidence on a change. Agents can request approvals, attach evidence, and read policy programmatically — so you get to ship at agentic speed without losing the audit trail.
