Regulatory integrity at scale
Compliance automation
built for the pace of engineering.
Meridian closes the gap between GRC policy and engineering execution. Machine-readable policy translates into automated pipeline controls, immutable evidence is captured at every step, and a single authoritative record is ready the moment an audit begins.
Zero Vendor Lock-in
Meridian accelerates your adoption of open standards and technology, never locking you in to the platform.
Strategic Consolidation
Connect diverse tools into one coordinated platform.
Deploy Anywhere
SaaS, single-tenant dedicated, or fully air-gapped. Runs where your data has to stay.
The problem
Compliance and engineering should share a single system of record.
No single tool has resolved the compounding tension between fast delivery and provable compliance. Meridian's thesis: the entire compliance lifecycle should be automated end-to-end, with immutable evidence at every step — and that requires a common language.
Engineering wants speed
CI/CD pipelines, microservices, and cloud-native deployments have accelerated software delivery. The tools engineers use are optimized for velocity.
Compliance demands proof
DORA, SOC 2, NIST, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, and others require documented evidence that every change was reviewed, approved, and deployed correctly — gathered manually, inconsistently, and expensively.
The gap creates compounding risk
Manual evidence collection introduces human error. Homegrown compliance tooling accumulates technical debt. When a supply-chain incident occurs, organizations discover their compliance posture existed on paper, not in production.
The platform
Start where your team's pain is. Close the loop as you grow.
Meridian is a cross-cutting orchestration platform — but some components can act as a point solution for specific pain points. All six components form a closed loop from policy design to production audit, each owning a defined stage of the lifecycle.
Chancery, Loft, and Slipway each deliver value as a standalone entry point. Add components as your programme matures.
Pipeline-agnostic. Full CLI and API surface — no vendor-specific runners required.
Open standards foundation
We don't just build on the ecosystem. We built it.
Meridian's founding team authored — and co-authored — the open standards the compliance automation industry is converging on, and contributed them to neutral governance at OpenSSF, FINOS, and CNCF. Customers build on independently stewarded standards. Meridian is the commercial platform that makes them operational.
- · Taxonomy and schemas governed independently — no vendor lock-in
- · Any tool in the ecosystem can interoperate
- · Competitors must adopt our architecture or build proprietary equivalents
- Model Governed by OpenSSF
Gemara
GRC Engineering Model for Automated Risk Assessment. The common data model that makes every standard, control catalog, and tool in the Meridian ecosystem interoperable — without vendor lock-in.
- Model Governed by CNCF
Automated Governance Maturity Model
Co-authored within the CNCF community, the AGMM gives organisations a shared language for assessing and advancing their governance automation practice — from manual, document-based processes to continuously verified compliance.
- Layer 2 Governed by FINOS
FINOS Common Cloud Controls
The leading open catalog of machine-readable cloud compliance controls. Pre-seeds Chancery with financial-grade security controls.
- Layer 2 Governed by OpenSSF
OpenSSF OSPS Baseline
A security baseline for open source software delivery, designed for the engineering pipelines Meridian targets. Defines what checks should run, what provenance should be captured, and what access controls should govern every release.
- Architecture Governed by FINOS
CALM
Common Architecture Language Model. Open-sourced by Morgan Stanley, deployed across thousands of internal systems. Powers Loft.
Proof of Value
See the ROI before you commit.
A structured engagement in your actual environment. We identify specific governance bottlenecks using your real pipeline and compliance data, and prove compliance-automation ROI before any full-scale deployment decision.
- Identify governance bottlenecks in your real pipelines
- Quantify audit-prep and approval-time baseline
- Demonstrate measurable ROI before contract
- Reduce procurement risk on both sides
