Security Scans

Scanners on the belt, tuned to your stack, so developers see few findings and trust every one of them.

From noise to six blockers

Real numbers from one tuning pass on a mid-sized repo. What's left at the bottom is what developers actually see block a merge.

Tuning the belt

Pick a step, or let it play. Every line is what someone in the room actually says.

Step 1Choose the scanners

Fit for your stack, open source first where it's good enough.

ATALAIATypeScript and Terraform. Open-source scanners cover most of it.

DEV LEADWe already pay for one. Nobody looks at it.

Leaves the roomSAST, SCA, secrets, IaC, container

Step 2Wire them to the belt

In the PR and in the pipeline, with results where devs already look.

ATALAIAResults go in the PR, where you already look. Not in a separate portal.

DEVELOPERSo I see it before review, not a week after merge.

Step 3Tune the noise

Suppress what doesn't apply, write rules for what does.

DEVELOPERThere are 4,812 open findings. I stopped reading at twenty.

ATALAIAMost are test files and one rule that doesn't fit your framework. Those go.

ATALAIAThat leaves 74, and every one of them is real.

Leaves the room4,812 findings → 74 that apply

Step 4Decide what blocks

A short, agreed list of findings that stop a build.

DEV LEADWhat actually stops a merge?

ATALAIALive secrets, critical CVEs with a fix, and four rules we agreed. The rest warns.

DEVELOPERA secret caught before merge. That one I like.

Leaves the roomBlock list: 6 rules

  • ATALAIA
  • PLATFORM
  • DEV LEAD
  • DEVELOPER

Why it matters

“So I see it before review, not a week after merge.”

DEVELOPER · step 2, Wire them to the belt

Untuned scanners bury real issues under noise. Developers learn to click past them, and the one real finding goes with the rest.

What you get

  • SAST, SCA, secrets, IaC and container scans wired into the pipeline
  • Rules tuned to your languages and frameworks
  • Clear block and warn thresholds
  • A triage routine with owners

Typical shape: Two to three weeks per stack, then a light monthly tune.
