Continuous Auditing is an approach that aims to enable DevOps teams to demonstrate in a short cyclical manner that they are in control when realizing, taking into production and managing the new or modified products and services at a rapid pace. As a result, compliance risks are prevented by already thinking about which risks to mitigate or eliminate from the requirements and the design based on them.

This book is a publication in the Continuous Everything series. The content consists of a discussion of the Continuous Auditing Pyramid model that describes the six steps to give substance to Continuous Auditing, namely: determining scope, determining goals, identifying risks, realizing controls, setting up monitoring facilities and demonstrating effectiveness of controls.

The Continuous Auditing concept thus encompasses the entire lifecycle of risk management. As a result, the risks are continuously under control. With this Agile approach to auditing you have a powerful tool to get a grip on the compliance of your Agile system development and management.
