Move security rules closer to the code being changed
Traditional scanners are valuable, but many software-security expectations are organization-specific and depend on context.
The Security Assurance Agent evaluates changes against the secure-development rules your engineering and security teams expect developers to follow.
Security guidance while coding
- approved authentication patterns
- authorization rules
- secrets handling
- encryption requirements
- input validation
- secure API usage
- data exposure rules
- tenant isolation conventions
- approved infrastructure patterns
- sensitive logging restrictions
Independent review before merge
The same security concern can be checked independently during PR review.
The review agent should inspect the change, relevant surrounding code, and organization-specific rules, then produce evidence-backed findings.
Critical checks may be configured as required merge conditions.
Repository-level assurance in CI
Some security problems cannot be evaluated reliably from a small diff.
CI assurance can inspect broader context such as:
- repeated insecure patterns
- repository configuration
- dependency use
- cross-file authorization logic
- missing required controls
Complement security tools, do not pretend to replace them
Security Assurance should work alongside:
- SAST
- dependency scanners
- secret scanners
- cloud security tools
- penetration testing
- human security review
The agent's role is to apply engineering context and organization-specific rules that generic tools may not understand.
Co-created with engineering and security teams
Start with the recurring security review comments and policies that matter most to the organization.
Turn them into explicit rules, test them against real repositories, and refine the agent until the findings are useful enough to become part of the engineering workflow.
Frequently asked questions
No. It works alongside SAST, dependency scanners, secret scanners, cloud security tools, penetration testing, and human security review. Its role is to apply engineering context and organization-specific rules that generic tools may not understand.
Critical checks may be configured as required merge conditions. Findings from PR review are evidence-backed, so reviewers can see what was found and where.
No. Security Assurance applies during coding, PR review, and repository-level CI checks.
