AI-Only Code Reviews vs. SOC 2 Change Management: Anyone doing this yet? 🤖🔬
Hey everyone,
We are currently exploring a shift toward AI-driven code reviews with no human approvers for certain tiers of changes. Before we dive too deep into the technical implementation, I wanted to pulse-check the community on the compliance implications—especially regarding Vanta's automated tests and SOC 2.
If you are currently doing this, or have seriously evaluated it, I’d love to know:
Change Management Controls: How are you defining the "approval" in your control descriptions? Are you treating the AI's pass/fail criteria as the authorized control activity?
Vanta Integration: How did you configure your repository settings and Vanta tests (like the Pull Request Approvals test) so it doesn't constantly flag automated merges as a failing exception?
Auditor Conversations: Have you successfully cleared a SOC 2 Type I/II audit with this setup? How did your auditor react to the lack of a human-in-the-loop, and what evidence did they require?
Also, given how fast this space is moving, I’d be happy to host a quick virtual "coffee talk" for anyone who is already doing this or is actively exploring it. If you'd be interested in jumping on a 30-minute call to compare notes, let me know in the comments or shoot me a DM! ☕
️
Thanks in advance!
