The Visibility Gap: Turning Observability into DevSecOps Signals (sponsored by Datadog)Security teams and dev teams share the same production environment but operate from different signals. Without runtime context, security monitoring has blind spots with misconfigured infrastructure and threats in flight. This session draws on Fone Dynamics' ISO 27001 journey to show how runtime telemetry, cloud audit logs, and code scanning give DevSecOps and SecOps teams shared context.

Editorial commentary · what to actually do about this on Monday
The concept
SecOps and DevOps see the same systems through different lenses. Runtime telemetry becomes the shared substrate that makes them speak the same language.
Why it matters
Vulnerability scans tell you what *could* be wrong. Runtime telemetry tells you what *is* wrong, right now. ISO 27001 (and most modern audits) want evidence of controls *operating*, not just existing.
The hard parts
Mapping abstract control language ("access is restricted to authorised users") to concrete log events ("user X read object Y from bucket Z") is laborious. Most orgs duck it.
Playbook moves
(1) Build a control-to-signal map: one row per control, one column per evidence source. (2) Anything without a signal source is a paper control — burn those down. (3) Tag existing logs with control IDs at ingestion, not at audit time.
The surprise
The fastest path to ISO 27001 evidence isn't more controls — it's tagging existing logs to existing control IDs. Most enterprises already have 70%+ of evidence; they just can't find it on demand.
