LoopIQ Pro delivers PCI DSS compliance automation for DevSecOps teams by producing audit-ready release proof directly from your SDLC workflows. It is built for software development leaders at regulated mid-market and enterprise teams handling cardholder-data environments who must show controlled, tested, documented changes on every release. Rather than gathering evidence for the PCI DSS change-management and testing requirements by hand, LoopIQ captures it as engineers work.
The problem
PCI DSS puts specific demands on how software changes reach production: changes must be authorized, tested, documented, and separated from unauthorized access. For DevSecOps teams shipping continuously, generating that evidence per release is a grind — approvals live in one tool, scan results in another, deployment logs in a third. When a QSA assessment approaches, teams reconstruct the change and testing record across systems, losing days and risking gaps for any release where a signal was not saved.
How LoopIQ handles it
LoopIQ automates PCI DSS evidence by capturing the change and testing signals in context and structuring them around the five auditor questions:
Change authorization — approvals and change requests recorded and linked to the release.
Access governance — who could act on the change captured in context, supporting separation-of-duties evidence.
Test and validation — functional and security test results tied to the change they validate.
Release certification — a signed record that each release met its change-management gates.
Monitoring and response — deployment and post-release signals connected to the release.
The change and testing evidence PCI DSS assessors expect is assembled continuously, not before each assessment.
Key capabilities
Automated evidence capture — approvals, tests, and deployments recorded from GitHub and CI/CD.
Security-scan evidence — results from scanners like SonarQube, Snyk, and Checkmarx tie to releases and approvals.
Change control workflows — authorization and review steps enforced and logged.
Release certification — audit-ready proof accompanies each release.
Traceable test management — results link to requirements and changes.
Unified workspace — change, test, and release evidence in one system.
How it fits your stack
LoopIQ complements the GRC platforms that manage your PCI DSS program, feeding verified upstream SDLC evidence to tools such as Vanta, Drata, and Secureframe rather than replacing them. It does not scope your cardholder-data environment or run your scanners; it captures their output and ties it to releases. LoopIQ integrates with GitHub and CI/CD and imports existing project data via CSV or a full database dump with intelligent mapping (there is no native Jira integration).
Common questions
Does LoopIQ make us PCI DSS compliant on its own? No. PCI DSS compliance spans network, data, and process controls well beyond software delivery. LoopIQ automates the change-management and testing evidence for the SDLC portion and feeds it to your GRC platform.
How does it use our security scanners? LoopIQ ingests results from scanners like SonarQube, Snyk, and Checkmarx and links them to the approvals, tests, and release they belong to, so scan evidence is release-contextual rather than a standalone report.
Can it support separation-of-duties evidence? Yes. By recording who authorized and who could act on each change in context, LoopIQ produces the access and authorization trail assessors review for change management.
