Code Scan (SAST)

Static security analysis

Medium

Overview

Automated scanning for security vulnerabilities in code before it's merged. Catches SQL injection, XSS, and common bugs.

Why It Matters

Find security issues before they ship. Catches SQL injection, XSS, and common vulnerabilities.

The Risk

Without code scanning, security vulnerabilities slip through review and reach production. When exploited, they lead to data breaches, customer trust loss, and compliance violations.

Implementation Components

A complete implementation of this capability includes:

  • Static analysis tool integrated with CI
  • Language-specific security rules
  • Scans run on every PR
  • Critical findings block merge
  • False positive suppression workflow
  • Findings tracked in security dashboard
