Compliance report (ULTIMATE)

Compliance report gives you the ability to see a group's merge request activity. It provides a high-level view for all projects in the group. For example, code approved for merging into production.

You can use the report to get:

  • A list of compliance violations from all merged merge requests within the group.
  • The reason and severity of each compliance violation.
  • A link to the merge request that caused each compliance violation.

When you select a row, a drawer is shown that provides further details about the merge request:

  • Project name and compliance framework label, if the project has one assigned.
  • Link to the merge request.
  • The merge request's branch path in the format [source] into [target].
  • A list of users that committed changes to the merge request.
  • A list of users that commented on the merge request.
  • A list of users that approved the merge request.
  • The user that merged the merge request.

Separation of duties

We support a separation of duties policy between users who create and approve merge requests. Our criteria for the separation of duties is as follows:

Chain of Custody report

It includes the merge commit SHA, merge request author, merge request ID, merge user, pipeline ID, group name, project name, and merge request approvers. Depending on the merge strategy, the merge commit SHA can be a merge commit, squash commit, or a diff head commit.

To download the Chain of Custody report:

  1. On the top bar, select Menu > Groups and find your group.
  2. On the left sidebar, select Security & Compliance > Compliance report.

  2. On the left sidebar, select Security & Compliance > Compliance report.
  3. At the top of the compliance report, to the right of List of all merge commits, select the down arrow ({chevron-lg-down}).
  4. Enter the merge commit SHA, and then select Export commit custody report. SHA and then select Export commit custody report.
