Practical controls

Evidence for audits
Learn how to produce evidence that stands up to internal review and external audit.
Risk reduction
Reduce release risk by strengthening controls without slowing delivery.
Peer-led discussion
Small group format. Bring your challenges, compare approaches, and avoid vendor noise.

What the Roundtable Experience Is Like
Peer-Led Discussion
This is not a presentation. There are no decks, product walk-throughs, or sales narratives. The conversation stays focused on experience, not promotion.
Moderated Peer Discussion
The session is guided by a neutral moderator to keep it practical, balanced, and on track. The focus is on real decisions, trade-offs, and lessons learned.
Chatham House Rule
Participants are free to share openly. Insights can be repeated, but never attributed to individuals or organisations.
Curated Attendance
Each table is carefully selected to keep the group senior, relevant, and interactive. Quality matters more than numbers.
What previous attendees say
“One of the more useful things I did last year was showing up to practitioner roundtables with people who are actually accountable for outcomes.
What I got from it was practical and honest. I came away with guardrails that teams will actually adopt, a clear view of what best practice looks like in the real world, and some uncomfortable truths about what works, what stalls, and why.
The most valuable part was hearing real ‘we tried this and it failed’ stories that stop you repeating the same mistakes. These sessions are well curated, practical, and worth the time if you are responsible for secure delivery at scale.”

What our partners say
"Across 2025, I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Codification on a series of roundtables, and they were truly outstanding. Every session created space for honest, high-quality conversations among DevOps and SecOps leaders focused on solving real problems, not just talking about trends.
What impressed me most was Codification’s ability to bring together the right people and facilitate discussions that delivered real value. These weren’t marketing events, they were peer-driven, practical, and genuinely useful for everyone in the room.
I’m very proud of what we built together with this motion and the impact these roundtables had on the DevOps and SecOps community. Codification sets a high bar for how community-led events should be done."
