One medical device company cut their software recall response time from 180 days to under 30 by automating compliance evidence collection.
In regulated industries like MedTech, shipping software takes weeks not because the code isn't ready, but because proving compliance requires manual evidence gathering. Automated governance captures proof continuously as developers work. When it's time to ship, compliance happens automatically or developers get blocked. The result: 85% faster time to market and developers who become collaborators instead of adversaries.
In this episode, Shannon Lantzy talks with Michael Edenzon, CEO of Fianu, about turning cyclical compliance work into continuous automation, why transparency changes developer behavior, and why objective, reproducible evidence should be the new regulatory standard.
