The product

What SourceScan does

A scanner result needs review of the affected code path and surrounding design. The reviewer checks whether the reported weakness is reachable and whether existing controls change the conclusion.

SourceScan combines expert-driven command-line analysis with a web dashboard. AI-assisted review helps organize candidate findings and code context, while the dashboard gives teams a place to assign remediation, track status and maintain oversight across the project.

  • Command-line analysis

    Run expert-directed analysis close to the source repository and development workflow.

  • AI-assisted review

    Use supported models to organize code context and candidate security findings for human assessment.

  • Finding validation

    Review the affected path, reachability and surrounding controls before treating a candidate as an accepted finding.

  • Web dashboard

    Track findings, ownership, severity, evidence and status outside the raw scanner output.

  • Remediation workflow

    Assign corrective work, record developer response and retain the history behind risk acceptance or closure.

  • Security oversight

    Give technical leaders a current view of open findings and remediation progress across supported projects.

Methodology

Typical workflow

  1. Configure

    Define repositories, languages, tool access, model boundaries and the rules for handling source code.

  2. Analyze

    Run expert-directed analysis and collect candidate findings with the relevant code context.

  3. Validate

    Review reachability, impact and compensating controls before accepting and prioritizing a result.

  4. Track

    Assign remediation, record decisions and verify corrected findings through the dashboard workflow.

Operating note

Compatibility and limits

Language support, repository connections, model options and deployment details vary by release. Source handling and approved model use should be agreed before analysis begins.

Visit SourceScan

Agree code access and validate a sample finding

Request current access and language, framework and repository support for the build being evaluated. Identify whether the workflow reads a repository, runs tools locally, writes issues or connects to CI. Grant only the permissions needed for the agreed actions.

  • Code handling: identify deployment location, model providers, code or prompt transmission, provider retention and permitted training use before connecting confidential repositories.
  • Scope: record the commit, included files, dependencies, generated code and paths excluded or unsupported.
  • Validation: trace a candidate to an affected code path, required access, compensating controls and any runtime check separately authorized.
  • Closure: retain the finding, developer response, corrected commit and verification result; record changes the scan could not assess.

For an illustrative authorization finding, the record can show the role expected to access a resource, the code path missing that check and the evidence supporting the concern. Static analysis does not prove runtime exploitability or replace an agreed penetration test.
