Orbiscend OU launches new app -> Dike — Automated SOC2 Compliance Monitoring Built Directly Into Jira

---

SOC2 compliance monitoring for development teams — at 10–20x lower cost than existing platforms, with zero data leaving Atlassian's infrastructure.

We're excited to announce the availability of Dike on the Atlassian Marketplace — a Forge-native app that brings automated SOC2 compliance monitoring directly into Jira, without the $7,500–$100,000+/year price tag of traditional compliance platforms.

The Problem With How Teams Do SOC2 Today

Development teams pursuing SOC2 certification face a difficult trade-off. Dedicated compliance platforms like Vanta or Drata are powerful — but expensive, require vendor security reviews of their own, and send your GitHub data to external servers. The manual alternative — spreadsheets, screenshots, and audit panic — doesn't scale.

Dike takes a different approach: what if compliance checks ran where your team already works?

What Dike Does

Dike connects your GitHub repositories to your Jira project and continuously monitors for SOC2 compliance violations. When a violation is detected, it automatically creates a Jira issue with full context — commit SHA, author, timestamp, PR details — so your team can investigate and resolve it in their normal workflow.

No new platform to learn. No external logins. No data leaving Atlassian.

Five Built-In SOC2 Compliance Checks

Dike ships with five compliance checks covering the most critical SOC2 controls for development teams:

1. Direct Commits to Main (High severity) Detects commits pushed directly to protected branches without a pull request — one of the first things SOC2 auditors look for. Supports CC6.1, CC6.6, CC7.1, CC8.1.

2. PRs Merged Without Approvals (High severity) Catches pull requests merged without the required number of code review approvals, ensuring separation of duties. Supports CC6.1, CC6.6, CC8.1.

3. PRs Merged with Failing CI/CD Checks (High severity) Flags PRs merged despite failing build or test pipelines — preventing untested code from reaching production. Supports CC6.8, CC7.1, CC7.2.

4. Commits Without Jira Issue Reference (Medium severity) Ensures every commit links back to an authorized Jira issue, creating a complete audit trail. Supports CC6.1, CC7.1, CC7.2.

5. PRs Without Jira Issue Reference (Medium severity) Verifies that pull requests are traceable to approved work items — the last gate before code reaches production. Supports CC6.1, CC6.6, CC8.1.

All rules are fully configurable: trigger conditions, severity levels, branch patterns, and file exclusions can all be adjusted to match your organization's workflow.

Audit-Ready from Day One

When you connect Dike to your GitHub repositories, it immediately scans 365 days of historical commits and pull requests — giving you instant visibility into your compliance posture, not just from today forward. Violations are filterable by severity, type, repository, or date using standard Jira JQL. Compliance dashboards can be built using native Jira gadgets, and violation data can be exported as audit evidence for SOC2 reviewers.

How Dike Compares

	Dike	V / D / S
Annual cost	Free (paid tier ~$1,200/yr)	$7,500 – $100,000+
Data location	Stays inside Atlassian (Forge)	External servers
Separate platform?	No — lives in Jira	Yes — another login
Setup time	~15 minutes	Days to weeks
Vendor security review	Not required	Required
SOC2 posture	Inherits Atlassian's controls	Must prove separately

"The irony of using an external compliance platform is that the platform itself becomes another vendor in your compliance scope. Dike doesn't — it runs inside Atlassian's already-compliant infrastructure."

Who Is Dike For?

Dike is purpose-built for teams that:

• Are pursuing SOC2 certification for the first time
• Use Jira + GitHub as their core development stack
• Need compliance automation without a six-figure commitment
• Require data residency and a minimal vendor footprint
• Want compliance integrated into their existing developer workflow

Availability & Pricing

Dike is available now on the Atlassian Marketplace as a now free app for Jira Cloud.

A paid tier with continuous monitoring, audit reports, and multi-project support is planned at approximately $5–10/user/month — still a fraction of the cost of standalone compliance platforms.
