Solution
Keep security review attached to the change in front of you.
AI can increase review volume. Start with a specific security constraint, run the configured checks, and show the evidence and gaps a person needs to assess.
01
More change than review can cover
In regulated environments a security gap isn’t just a bug; it’s a compliance and trust problem, and the cost lands on the organisation, not the engineer. Review has to be rigorous enough to hold up to an external audit. AI-assisted development raises the volume of change that review has to cover — every merge is a new surface an auditor could ask about later — and the review team is the same size it was before.
02
Why a checklist and a sign-off aren’t enough
A checklist records that someone looked. It does not record what they checked, against which requirement, or what evidence they saw. A sign-off is a name and a date. When the auditor asks “why was this change safe?”, neither answers. And spreading the load across more reviewers produces more names, not more evidence. What a regulated team needs is a change process where the security requirement, the decision, the check, and the acceptance are all written down, linked, and versioned — by construction, not by discipline.
03
What Praxis Security does
For a selected change, record the applicable security requirement and review the relevant design and implementation evidence. Configured checks contribute findings; the record must say what ran, failed or was skipped. A private onboarding conversation can cover broader monitoring, but a local review is not a compliance certification or a comprehensive security guarantee.
04
How it works
- Scope it — identify the security constraint and affected code, with a person confirming ambiguous policy intent.
- Plan it — select checks that fit this environment rather than assuming a scanner is universally enabled.
- Run and record — retain actual outputs, failures and skips alongside the implementation.
- Review it — Quality Harness can inspect the bounded result; approved application, Git publication and human merge stay distinct.
05
What’s included
- Requirement-linked review — examine the selected change against the security constraint it claims to satisfy.
- Evidence with limits — record configured checks and their actual results; missing coverage remains visible.
- Private discussion — plan any broader integration or repeated monitoring with the team.
