The compliance control plane

Automated Governance
at Scale

Meridian turns regulation into machine-readable policy, automated pipeline controls, and immutable audit-ready evidence — built on the open standards we authored, so you're never locked in.

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.

Meridian Chancery, Meridian Loft, and Meridian Slipway each deliver value as a standalone entry point. Add components as your programme matures.

One platform. Six modules. One system of record.

  • Chancery

    GRC

    Author regulatory requirements as machine-readable policy.

  • Loft

    Architecture

    Validate system designs against policy before code.

  • Slipway

    Security & Engineering

    Governed, recorded multi-cloud deployment.

  • Tackle

    Orchestrates dev tooling from active policy.

  • Patrol

    Runtime monitoring for drift from the approved state.

  • Admiralty

    Executive and board compliance posture view.

Explore the platform

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. The same team built Privateer, the open evaluation engine, now being donated to OpenSSF. 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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Layer 2 Governed by FINOS

    FINOS Common Cloud Controls

    The leading open catalog of machine-readable cloud compliance controls. Pre-seeds Meridian Chancery with financial-grade security controls.

  4. 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.

  5. Architecture Governed by FINOS

    CALM

    Common Architecture Language Model. Open-sourced by Morgan Stanley, deployed across thousands of internal systems. Powers Meridian Loft.
