Most banking systems don't fail audits because of bad code. They fail because compliance showed up last.
Here's how it usually goes
- Build the system
- Schedule the audit
- Discover the gaps
- Rework everything, under deadline
What Security by Default looks like instead
- Access controls designed into the architecture
- Audit trails live from sprint one
- Regulatory needs shaping the design, not delaying the release
- Security reviewed continuously, not once at the end
Same system. Same team. Very different outcome.
Fixing compliance at the end costs time. Engineering it at the start costs a decision.
That's the Sodel way: build fast, build secure, build to last.
