With GitHub and Kawach, security and compliance become part of your development workflow

Seamless GitHub Integration

Kawach connects to your GitHub organization or repositories in minutes, giving full visibility into repository configurations, branch protection rules, and access permissions. By automating compliance checks at the source-code level, Kawach reduces risk, strengthens security, and streamlines audits.

Key Benefits

Automated compliance checks Monitor GitHub repos for security and compliance risks with no manual effort.

Stronger access control Track collaborators, permissions, and ensure least-privilege principles are applied.

Real-time alerts Get notified about risky changes like public repos, missing branch protections, or insecure settings.

Audit-ready evidence Collect configuration and access data directly from GitHub to simplify audits.

Scales with your codebase Automatically discover new repos and apply the same compliance checks as your team grows.

Policy enforcement Detect configuration drift and enforce consistent compliance policies across all repositories.

Integration Setup

Connect GitHub to Kawach Authorize using OAuth or personal access tokens for secure setup.
Set permissions Grant Kawach read-only access to repositories and organization settings.
Enable monitoring Choose which repositories to track and configure compliance checks automatically.

Supported GitHub Resources

Kawach monitors a wide range of GitHub settings and resources, including:

Repositories Visibility, branch protection rules, required reviews, and security settings.
Collaborators & Teams User access, roles, and permission changes.
Workflows & Actions Ensure secure usage of GitHub Actions and workflows.
Secrets & Tokens Validate proper management of repository secrets and access tokens.

Unsupported settings can be added manually to ensure complete audit coverage.

Ongoing Compliance Made Simple

Reconnect as Needed When tokens expire or permissions change.
Scope Management Decide which repos or orgs to include in compliance monitoring.
Continuous Monitoring Detect new repos, access changes, and risky configurations in real time.

Conclusion

Kawach’s integration with GitHub helps organizations bring compliance directly into their development process. By connecting your GitHub repositories, Kawach continuously monitors code settings, access controls, and configuration changes.

This ensures your teams meet SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and other compliance requirements, without slowing down development.
