How regulated companies use Tggl for safe and compliant feature releases

For companies in regulated industries, releasing features into production is about more than just delivering updates. Each release needs to meet stringent compliance standards, keep data secure, and remain fully documented to satisfy both internal and external regulations. From safeguarding sensitive information to requiring approvals and traceability, compliance-driven teams face unique challenges in managing production workflows.

Data privacy is a critical focus, particularly in sectors like finance and healthcare, where teams must ensure that sensitive information stays protected and contained. For many, this means data shouldn’t leave their servers, even for feature releases. Additionally, compliance often demands a “4-eye rule”: every change needs review and approval by at least two team members to add a layer of accountability. Finally, companies need clear, documented proof of changes showing who approved or modified features, which is essential for audits and regulatory checks.

To meet these demands, Tggl offers solutions tailored for compliance-focused companies. With a secure proxy that keeps data on your servers, a multi-layered review process to enforce approvals, and audit logs to track every change, Tggl empowers regulated companies to release features safely, confidently, and efficiently.

Data privacy with Tggl’s Proxy feature

Protecting sensitive data is a top priority for regulated companies, especially during feature releases. Tggl’s proxy feature provides a robust solution, allowing companies to keep data within their own infrastructure while managing feature flags. This ensures data privacy and compliance by processing feature flag evaluations locally.

How the Proxy works

The Tggl proxy acts as an intermediary between your application and Tggl’s servers. Instead of directly interacting with Tggl’s servers, your app communicates with the proxy running on your own infrastructure. This setup allows feature evaluations and data processing to occur internally, so sensitive data never leaves your controlled environment. For industries like finance, healthcare, and government, where data residency and control are non-negotiable, the proxy provides an efficient solution for meeting compliance standards.

Vendrix’s experience with the Proxy

David from Vendrix, shared that they found Tggl’s proxy feature not only secure but incredibly user-friendly. David noted that the proxy was easy to set up, configuring rules was straightforward, and the latency impact was minimal—just 10 milliseconds. This highlights how the proxy offers more than compliance benefits; it’s also a practical, efficient solution for teams looking to protect data without sacrificing performance.

With Tggl’s proxy, regulated companies can maintain full control over data, roll out features confidently, and meet privacy requirements with ease.

Controlled access with Tggl’s 4-eye approval process

In regulated industries, having a multi-step approval process is essential to ensure that only authorized changes make it into production. Tggl’s reviews feature enables a 4-eye approval process, where every change to a feature flag must be reviewed and approved by at least two team members before it goes live.

How the reviews feature works

With Tggl’s reviews, teams can set up an approval workflow where proposed changes are published only after designated team members have reviewed and approved them. This process provides an additional layer of security and accountability, ensuring that each feature release aligns with internal compliance standards.

Swan’s experience with the 4-eye rule

For fintech company Swan, Tggl’s reviews feature has become an essential part of their compliance process. Operating in a highly regulated industry, Swan relies on the 4-eye rule to ensure that each feature flag change undergoes careful review. By requiring approval from multiple team members, Swan can confidently track and validate changes, reducing the risk of unauthorized or accidental modifications. This level of oversight is especially valuable as their team continues to grow and expand their production workflows.

Tggl’s reviews feature also offers customizable access levels that allow companies to define which team members can initiate, review, or approve changes. This capability helps compliance-driven teams like Swan ensure that only authorized individuals handle sensitive flags, aligning every change with regulatory requirements and internal policies.

By using Tggl’s 4-eye approval process, regulated companies gain the oversight needed to maintain a compliant production environment, fostering both transparency and accountability across the team.

Transparency and accountability with Tggl’s audit logs

For regulated companies, maintaining a clear record of all feature changes is crucial for compliance. Tggl’s audit log feature provides a detailed history of every action taken, capturing essential information such as who made each change, what was modified, and when it occurred.

How Tggl’s audit logs work

The audit log in Tggl tracks all activities related to feature flag management, creating a full timeline of changes. Whether it’s creating a new flag, adjusting an existing one, or rolling back a feature, each action is timestamped and logged. This ongoing record helps teams monitor adjustments in real-time and provides documented proof of all changes, which is invaluable for compliance reviews and audits.

Why audit logs matter for regulated companies

In industries with high regulatory standards, traceability is non-negotiable. With Tggl’s audit logs, companies can show a transparent, accessible history of every feature release, meeting both internal compliance needs and external regulatory requirements. The audit logs not only ensure accountability but also strengthen security by providing a central record of who accessed or altered specific flags.

Audit logs have proven to be especially useful for compliance-focused teams like Swan, where tracking feature changes is critical for maintaining control and compliance. By providing Swan’s team with a single source of truth for each release, Tggl’s audit logs make it easy to track the history of all production activity and address any compliance queries with confidence.

With Tggl’s audit log feature, regulated companies gain the transparency needed to meet rigorous compliance standards, fostering accountability and offering peace of mind during audits and regulatory reviews.
