Does a Gemini Code Assist review count for SOC 2?
No. Gemini Code Assist for GitHub posts review comments from a bot account. It is not an approval by a qualified person other than the author. PSCO reads its comments and adds the named Officer.
How Gemini Code Assist reviews
Gemini Code Assist reviews pull requests on GitHub, posting a summary and inline comments with suggested changes.
What it cannot do
Gemini Code Assist cannot be the independent human approver an auditor is looking for. SOC 2 CC8.1, ISO 27001 A.5.3, PCI DSS 6.2.3.1 and SOX program-change controls all assume a qualified person other than the author approved the change and understood it. A bot account posting "Approve" is a review record, not an accountable person, and as of mid-2026 no auditor reports accepting it as standard practice.
How PSCO reads its output
The summary and comments are parsed into findings on the Officer’s packet.
Two-step setup
Keep Gemini Code Assist.
Keep Gemini Code Assist installed.
Add PSCO.
Install the PSCO GitHub App, select the repos in scope, and require psco/approved and one approval from @psco-officers.
The shared-model tip
Point it at the same model the Officer uses.
Point Gemini Code Assist at the same rulebook the Officer uses. Add the model’s rules to .gemini/styleguide.md or reference psco.model.yaml from it. Keep the sensitive paths, required checks and forbidden patterns identical in both places so the robot and the human check the same rules, and so the Officer's packet shows the AI's findings next to the clause they map to.
