Story
Inside Mercedes-Benz Group, secure delivery used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in consumer discretionary groups working out of Germany. Developers and AppSec needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Mercedes-Benz Group uses GitLab Issues from GitLab as the working layer for developer security. GitLab is a DevSecOps platform that combines source control, CI/CD, security scanning, and planning in one application. The practical change is simple: secure delivery has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Mercedes-Benz Group gets from GitLab is a durable place to run secure delivery and a way for developers and AppSec to see the same developer security at the same time.
