For Fintech Engineering Teams

Deploy fast. Stay compliant.

Koalr gives financial services engineering teams pre-merge risk scoring, CODEOWNERS governance, and a complete change control audit trail — without slowing down the teams that are already deploying multiple times per day.

The problems fintech teams bring to us

Problem

SOX and PCI compliance requires demonstrating change control — but your audit trail is spread across Jira, GitHub, and spreadsheets

Koalr

Koalr captures every PR, reviewer, approval, and deploy in a unified audit log. Export change control reports for SOX auditors directly from the platform.

Problem

The team deploys to production multiple times per day — you have no way to gate risky changes without slowing everything down

Koalr

Koalr scores every PR before merge using 32 signals. A GitHub Check Run blocks merges that exceed your risk threshold — only high-risk changes are stopped, not everything.

Problem

AI-generated code from Copilot and Cursor is getting merged into payment flows without proper review — you can't tell which code came from an AI agent

Koalr

Koalr detects AI-authored code from Co-authored-by trailers and flags it in the risk score. Require CODEOWNERS approval on payment-critical paths regardless of who (or what) wrote the code.

Built for regulated engineering teams

Change control audit log

Every PR, reviewer, approval, risk score, and deployment captured with immutable timestamps. Export for SOX, PCI, or internal audit.

Risk-gated deployments

GitHub Check Run blocks merges above your configured risk threshold. Only high-risk changes are gated — low-risk changes deploy without friction.

CODEOWNERS enforcement

Ensure payment and auth code always has a domain expert in the approval chain. Koalr tracks compliance and alerts on drift from team changes.

DDL migration detection

Schema migrations to production databases are automatically detected in PRs and carry an elevated risk score — the change type with the highest incident correlation.

Deploy timing intelligence

Friday deploys to payment services fail 40% more often. Koalr surfaces deployment timing risk and can enforce deploy windows on sensitive services.

AI authorship tracking

Know which code was generated by Copilot, Cursor, or Claude Code. Apply additional review requirements to AI-generated changes in regulated code paths.

Compliance context, not compliance theater

Koalr does not replace your compliance toolchain. It surfaces the data your auditors ask for from your existing development workflow — no new processes required.
