They help to validate the following standards: ISO27001/27002, GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, PCI DSS, SOC2, NIST, among other standards.
Own vulnerability knowledge base Through our extensive documentation on known vulnerabilities, our clients have a source of information from which they can learn about vulnerabilities and how to remediate them. Access to our extensive documentation is equal to that in the Essential plan. Information in their documentation about vulnerability remediation.
Fast and automatic Yes Yes They have automatic scanners.
Remediation We offer extensive documentation on fixes and functions in our IDE extension that leverage gen AI to get step-by-step remediation guidance and automated fixes. In addition to the Essential plan features, we offer the option of "Talk to a hacker" in which our experts help clients understand how to remediate the most challenging vulnerabilities. They provide remediation information in their documentation and use Secure Code Warrior for developers.
CI/CD security We can integrate with CI/CD systems and trigger a build pipeline failure to prevent from deploying a noncompliant software version into production (break the build). Offers the same capability as that of the Essential plan. They break the build.
Vulnerability detection method Automated tools Hybrid (automated tools + AI + human intelligence) Automated tools.
Vulnerability chaining No By combining vulnerabilities A and B, we discover a new, higher impact vulnerability C. No
Safe exploitation No Yes No
Delivery of evidence Our evidence is delivered in (a) PDF executive reports, (b) XLS/PDF technical reports, (c) code pieces and (d) graphs and metrics of the system's security status. We deliver all the types of evidence mentioned in the Essential plan, and additionally, (a) video recordings of the attack and (b) screenshots with explanatory annotations. They attach the code fragment where the issue is located as evidence.
Exploitation No We can do exploitation as long as the client provides an available environment. Yes
Zero-day vulnerabilities No Our security researchers search for zero-day vulnerabilities in open-source software. No
AI/ML triage No Using artificial intelligence (AI), we prioritize potentially vulnerable files for their assessment. Our AI is specially trained by machine learning (ML) with thousands of snippets of vulnerable code. No
