What governance prevents
What can go wrong when AI ships code without governance.
Public, sourced incidents from 2025. Each one is preventable with the gates we run on every release.
One app, sixteen vulnerabilities, six critical.
Inverted authentication exposed 18,697 user records, including names tied to UC Berkeley and UC Davis. Reported by The Next Web.

AI-generated code shows +322% privilege-escalation paths.
Compared with human-only codebases, AI-assisted code carries +322% privilege escalation, +153% design flaws and +40% secrets exposure.

Vibe coding is here.Governance can be too.
Vibe coding is the term Karpathy coined and Merriam-Webster made Word of the Year 2025. It is also the way most enterprise builders now ship. Governed Build is the layer that makes that work safe to deploy.
How we work
From your prompt to production, with gates.
- 01
Kick-off
Workflow presentation, stack agreement, repository access, branch policies, CI/CD wiring and a shared Slack channel with our senior engineers.
gate · shared workflow signedpass - 02
Build cycles
Your team builds with Claude Code, Codex and Cursor. Every pull request is reviewed by a SevenLab senior engineer the same business day.
gate · pull request approvedpass - 03
Production gates
Security scan, SBOM generation, OWASP Citizen Developer Top 10 check, secrets scan and load test on every release before it ships.
gate · release signedpass - 04
Run and report
EU-based observability, on-call escalation and a monthly governance report formatted for your board — covering incidents, releases and risk posture.

Inside a review
This is what same-business-day review looks like.
AI suggestedsupabase/policies/orders.sql
1 -- AI-suggested RLS policy2 create policy "orders_select" on orders3- for select using (true);45 -- Grants every authenticated user6 -- read access to every tenant's orders.
After SevenLab reviewsupabase/policies/orders.sql
1 -- Reviewed RLS policy2 create policy "orders_select" on orders3+ for select using (4+ tenant_id = auth.jwt() ->> 'tenant_id'5+ );6 -- Tenant-scoped, GDPR Art. 32 aligned.
Inverted RLS would have exposed every tenant's orders to every authenticated user. Tightened with a tenant_id claim from the JWT. Same pattern applied across orders, invoices and audit_log tables in this PR.
What's included
Everything you need to ship governed AI code, in one retainer.
Same-business-day pull request review
Every PR reviewed and signed by a senior engineer before merge. No queues, no junior triage.
Shared Slack channel with senior engineers
Direct line to the engineers who review your code. For architecture questions, blockers and pre-PR sanity checks.
Production deployment + IaC
Infrastructure as code, signed releases, reproducible builds. We stand up and own the pipeline that ships your team's work.
SBOM + secrets scanning per release
Software bill of materials and secrets scan on every deploy. Audit trail for NIS2, DORA and ISO 27001 ready by default.
EU observability + on-call
Dashboards, alerting and on-call escalation hosted in EU regions. Incident response handled by named engineers, not a queue.
Monthly governance report
A board-ready summary of releases, incidents, risk posture and compliance coverage. Formatted for the room you have to present in.
Onboarding workshop included
We start with a workflow presentation and stack agreement session — set up before the first pull request.
Works with your existing stack
We adapt to the stack your team has chosen. No forced migrations, no rebuilds — governance fits around your tools.
Coverage
Covered by default.
One ungoverned AI-generated app can trigger NIS2, DORA and AI Act disclosures simultaneously. Governed Build is the layer that prevents it.
- NIS2 / Cyberbeveiligingswet24h early warningBoard-level accountability, incident reporting within 24 hours for essential entities. covered
- DORAArt. 28 · Art. 17Third-party ICT oversight, audit rights, and major incident reporting for financial entities. covered
- EU AI ActRisk management lifecycleRisk management, data governance and post-market monitoring for high-risk AI systems. covered
- ISO 27001A.8.28 · A.8.30Secure coding controls and outsourced development oversight, evidenced per release. covered
- GDPRArt. 32Appropriate technical measures, including encryption, access control and tested resilience. covered
Coverage means we operate the controls these frameworks require — not that we issue certifications. We work alongside your auditors and provide the artefacts they need.
