GitLab
The GitLab integration within the Softwares module enables Socify to connect with your GitLab account to support automated evidence collection, continuous compliance monitoring, and audit readiness for development and security controls.
This integration helps organizations validate secure development practices, access governance, and vulnerability management aligned with SOC 2.
