Breaking the Digital Silo: Cross-Program Governance with a Unified DevSecOps Platform

The document argues that federal agencies have modernized their software development processes within individual program boundaries, thereby automating existing organizational silos rather than breaking them, resulting in duplicate compliance configurations, inconsistent security standards, and repeated discovery of the same misconfigurations across programs.

This paper presents a detailed examination of the challenges and solutions addressed by Breaking Silos, providing actionable frameworks for organizations navigating the intersection of AI adoption and regulatory compliance.

• Establishes a structured approach to silo breaking that aligns technical implementation with federal compliance requirements.
• Demonstrates how Breaking Silos concepts translate directly into measurable engineering controls and audit artifacts.
• Provides implementation patterns validated against real-world deployment constraints in regulated environments.
• Identifies critical gaps in current approaches and proposes concrete architectural solutions backed by operational evidence.
