Abstract As enterprises increasingly adopt Azure DevOps for continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD), ensuring robust security and compliance in cloud-based DevOps pipelines has become a critical challenge. This article explores the complex landscape of security and compliance within Azure DevOps, focusing on the hurdles faced by organizations during deployment and operation at scale. We delve into common security risks, such as unauthorized access, data breaches, and configuration vulnerabilities, while also addressing the complexities of adhering to industry-specific compliance frameworks, including GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2. The study reviews current best practices for integrating security into the DevOps pipeline, emphasizing the importance of Infrastructure as Code (IaC), identity and access management (IAM), automated security testing, and monitoring tools. Additionally, the article evaluates how Azure DevOps tools, such as Azure Security Center, Azure Policy, and Azure Blueprints, can help streamline compliance management and mitigate risks. Through real-world case studies and expert interviews, this article provides practical solutions for enterprises seeking to enhance their security posture while ensuring compliance within their Azure DevOps workflows. The findings highlight the importance of automated security checks, compliance automation, and the need for a culture of security across DevOps teams to address the challenges of scaling enterprise deployments securely and efficiently.
