If you work with or at a Telco, Financial Institution or a Government entity, you probably already know about compliance and the various acronyms and headaches it can bring.

How can we make this less of a painful process?

Well, if you think about it: compliance is a set of rules that someone has given you to enforce and prove that they're being enforced. What is configuration management? A series of rules for systems that need to be enforced. So compliance is the perfect use-case for configuration management.

We'll be discussing how you can enforce compliance in your estate with config management, what open-source tooling you to perform scans across your estate and how to save time by leveraging existing work such as http://dev-sec.io.

We'll also be talking about how to sell the benefits of config management for compliance to stakeholders and some real-life examples of how it's worked with customers in the past, and the caveats that come with it.
