For DevSecOps
DevSecOps observability, without another scanner
Inventory every repository's security controls in one place. Find the gaps in your SAST, dependency scanning, secret scanning, container scanning, and action pinning, then close them with copy-pasteable workflow snippets. No new scanners, no new build minutes.
Five control categories detected automatically
Sound familiar?
Shifting security left is a practice, not a tool purchase. The hard part isn't picking a scanner. It's knowing where coverage already exists, where it's missing, and where the gate is doing more harm than good.
The problem
Security runs as a fortnightly pen test that holds up every release
How CI/CD Watch helps
Most pen-test findings could have been caught earlier by automated controls. CI/CD Watch monitors pipelines across GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Bitbucket Pipelines, CircleCI, Azure DevOps, and Jenkins, and now surfaces which repos already run SAST, dependency scanning, secret scanning, and container scanning. That is the evidence you need to argue for shift-left security and a slower gate cadence.
The problem
Nobody can answer 'are we covered?' at the org level
How CI/CD Watch helps
Every team picks their own scanner. Some run npm audit, some run Snyk, some run nothing. CI/CD Watch inventories all of them across every connected repo, and tells you exactly which controls are present, missing, or handled elsewhere.
The problem
Third-party actions pinned to @main are one compromise away from running in your CI
How CI/CD Watch helps
The tj-actions/changed-files compromise of March 2025 ran malicious code in every repo using @main or @v44. That is supply-chain risk hiding in plain sight. CI/CD Watch flags every third-party action that isn't pinned to a SHA, and recommends a Dependabot config that keeps SHA pins current.
The problem
Adding security tooling slows the team down and gets reverted
How CI/CD Watch helps
We don't run scanners. We surface what your existing scanners are doing and what's missing. Recommendations are copy-pasteable workflow snippets. You decide what lands, when, and how strict to make it.
DevSecOps observability above your existing security stack
We don't replace Snyk, Semgrep, gitleaks, or Trivy. We tell you which of them is running where, and what to add when nothing is.
Control Coverage Inventory
Five control categories tracked per repository: SAST, SCA, secret scanning, container scanning, and SHA-pinning of third-party actions. Each marked present, missing, dismissed, or not applicable.
Stack-aware Recommendations
We detect whether a repo is Node, Python, or builds containers, then pick the recommendation that fits: npm audit for Node, pip-audit for Python, Trivy for images. No generic boilerplate.
Action Pinning Detection
Every third-party GitHub Action referenced by a mutable branch (e.g. @main) is flagged as a finding. First-party actions (actions/*, github/*) are allowlisted because GitHub maintains them.
Dismissals With a Reason
Mark controls as handled in a reusable workflow, by an external tool, or as risk-accepted. Reasons are structured so you can later report on what's actually covered versus what's just been waved past.
Org-wide Visibility
One filterable index across every monitored repo. Filter by organisation, repo name, stack, or status. Find every Python repo missing pip-audit, or every container-building repo without image scanning, in seconds.
No New Scanners
We read your existing pipeline configuration. No extra runtime, no extra cost, no new build minutes. Recommendations point at proven open-source and vendor scanners; you keep ownership of what runs.
Copy-pasteable Workflow Snippets
When a control is missing we surface a real, working YAML with pinned action versions, sensible severity thresholds, and scheduled runs. Drop it into .github/workflows/, review, merge.
DORA and Security in One Place
Security insights live alongside Deployment Frequency, Lead Time, Change Fail Rate, and MTTR. The same flow metrics that win the engineering-leadership conversation now answer 'are we secure?' too.
A week in the life of a DevSecOps engineer
Monday. Quarterly security review meeting. The CISO asks how many of your 80 active repositories run dependency scanning. You used to guess. This time you open the security page, filter to "has gaps", and answer — 23 of 80 are missing SCA, all in two specific orgs.
Tuesday. The Java platform team asks for help adding SAST. You point at the per-repo page, paste in the recommended CodeQL workflow, open a PR. They merge it that afternoon. The status flips to “present” on the next sync.
Wednesday. The AppSec lead wants to drop fortnightly pen tests in favour of monthly. You open the security index, sort by missing controls, and present a 30-day plan: close every SCA gap by the 15th, every secret-scanning gap by the 28th, then revisit cadence. Real numbers, real targets.
Friday. A reusable workflow handles SAST for one of your monorepos, but the per-repo page still shows it as missing because we only follow one hop. You dismiss with reason handled_in_reusable_workflow and a one-line note. The repo goes green. The dismissal is auditable later.
