Kosli review
A broad governance layer for provenance, policy controls, and audit evidence.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Kosli is a software delivery governance platform for DevOps, security, compliance, and platform teams, particularly in regulated organizations. It creates an immutable chain of custody covering build, scan, approval, deployment, and runtime evidence. The platform centralizes SBOMs, provenance, attestations, vulnerability findings, and artifact metadata, then connects that information to policy controls and release gates. Web, API, and self-hosted options support different deployment and integration requirements.
The strongest fit is for organizations that need traceability from source changes through production. Kosli supports cryptographic artifact provenance, SBOM collection and tracking, vulnerability findings linked to artifacts and runtime environments, and attestations for security scans, code reviews, approvals, and signing. Policy-as-code controls and automated compliance gates add a governance layer to software delivery, while runtime monitoring identifies unknown or unauthorized workloads. Integrations span GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, CircleCI, Jenkins, Microsoft Azure, TeamCity, Amazon Web Services, Amazon ECS, Amazon S3, Kubernetes, Docker, Snyk, Sonatype, and Dynatrace.
Pricing is structured around contact with sales rather than published numeric plans. According to the vendor's pricing page, custom annual contracts are based on recorded data and retention. The page also states that on-premises deployment is available for Enterprise customers. This makes Kosli a considered choice for teams evaluating governance requirements, evidence retention, and deployment model together. Organizations seeking a focused tool for only one part of the supply chain may prefer a narrower product, while regulated teams that need provenance, release controls, runtime visibility, and exportable audit packages should consider Kosli.
Kosli pros and cons
- Where it wins

- Connects release controls with policy-as-code compliance gates
- Exports immutable audit evidence and packages across the delivery lifecycle
- Where it doesn't
- Pricing requires contact with sales and custom annual contracts
- Its broad governance scope may exceed narrower security needs
- On-premises deployment is available only for Enterprise customers
