2. Enablement - This phase focuses on knowledge transfer. Through informative sessions, we’ll explain the proposed GitHub setup, highlighting its benefits and how it meets your organizational needs. These sessions will address the perspectives of administrators, developers, and security professionals, incorporating Azure integration possibilities where relevant.

3. Best practices implementation: We’ll implement a compliance model tailored to your organization, ensuring seamless alignment with industry best practices.

Our approach delivers a comprehensive understanding of compliance and governance within GitHub, empowering your organization to scale confidently. Key goals of this engagement include:

• Streamlined Administration. We’ll design an optimal GitHub setup based on your organization’s security, permissions, and workflows. This structure will simplify maintenance, enhance security, and streamline governance while remaining intuitive for developers.

• Tailored Workflows. Our solutions are tailored to fit your organization’s needs. We’ll design workflows, templates, and integrations that align with your industry and projects. Using the issue-ops methodology, we’ll ensure repositories are linked to cost centres, projects, or other organizational requirements.

We’ll also provide guidance on leveraging these capabilities for organization-wide security visibility, incorporating Azure’s security tools where needed.

• Standards and Compliance. We’ll establish processes to ensure compliance with organizational and Azure-related standards. This includes creating repositories with specific metadata, configuring roles for security approvals, and aligning practices with your compliance requirements.

• Operational Transparency. We’ll help you review audit logs and track GitHub feature usage to maintain operational transparency. Our process also enables accurate cost allocation, including Azure-related expenses.

• Enablement and Guidance. Beyond implementation, we offer training sessions to ensure your team fully leverages GitHub’s capabilities. These sessions can include optional modules on Azure integration, equipping your team with the knowledge to excel.
