Sourcery scans your repositories for security problems and collects everything it finds in one place. The scanners run together. You triage secrets, code vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and dependency risk from a single view.

The scanners run as one logical scan on your default branch:

  • Secrets, for committed credentials and tokens.
  • Static analysis (SAST), for code-level vulnerabilities.
  • Infrastructure as code, for misconfigurations in Terraform, Kubernetes, and other infrastructure files.
  • Dependencies and licenses, for vulnerable packages and restrictive licenses.

The scanners lists the tool behind each one and the issue type it produces.

Every scanner writes to the same store, Issues. The workflow is the same whatever the scanner: each finding carries a severity, a status, and the same set of actions, so you snooze, ignore, or override a secret the same way you would a dependency vulnerability.

Findings and severity covers how a finding is modeled, and triage a finding walks through every action you can take on one.

Scans run on a schedule that depends on your plan, against the default branch only. When scans run covers the cadence and how to queue a scan on demand.

Security scanning is a Team plan feature. Open Source and Pro include a limited preview. See plans and pricing for the plan-by-plan details.
