The situation
Developers receive security findings after a release has already shipped.
Static Application Security Testing
SAST analyzes application source or compiled code for potential security weaknesses without exercising the running service. Its value depends on language coverage, rule quality and useful feedback to developers.
- Select relevant coverage
- Integrate with development
- Tune and own findings
Is this right for you?
When this is the right work.
You want security feedback during code review, with a clear process for reviewing findings and avoiding an unusable alert backlog.
The first conversation establishes the environment, the constraint and who will accept the result. We agree a bounded starting point before expanding the engagement.
Scope
What DotConn delivers.
- 01
Select relevant coverage
Review languages, build paths and the kinds of source issues the chosen tool can detect.
- 02
Integrate with development
Place analysis in the agreed review or build path, with appropriate repository access.
- 03
Tune and own findings
Triage false positives, define escalation and verify that important fixes reach the release.
Deliverables
What you receive.
Acceptance criteria identify the checks, records and handover needed for the agreed scope.
- SAST coverage and rule configuration
- Pull-request or build integration
- Finding triage and exception guidance
In practice
A practical example.
Our approach
We integrate source analysis earlier and define who reviews significant findings.
The useful result
The receiving team gets actionable code context and a documented decision process.
Responsibility
Agree the responsibility.
DotConn
Assesses and delivers the technical work in the agreed scope, with reviewable changes and handover. Continuing operation requires a separately defined managed-service scope.
Your team
Provides authorized access, business priorities and accountable decision-makers; approves policy choices and accepts the agreed result.
Set this boundary early
SAST cannot prove the absence of vulnerabilities and does not replace runtime testing or review of business logic.
FAQ
Questions worth resolving.
Technical reading
Can we scan every repository with one policy?
A common baseline helps, but languages, exposure and application risk may require different rules and triage expectations.
Pricing, timing and how to prepare are covered in working with DotConn.
Connected work
Services that work alongside this.
Application & Code Security
Application security combines complementary checks of source code, dependencies, containers and running behavior. The goal is an actionable view of risk and a way to verify remediation.
ExploreDynamic Application Security Testing
DAST examines a running application or API from the outside. It helps evaluate exposed behavior, authentication paths and responses that source-only analysis cannot exercise.
ExploreCI/CD Pipeline Engineering
Continuous integration and delivery create a repeatable path from code change to a releasable application. The pipeline makes tests, artifacts, approvals and environment transitions explicit.
ExploreContainer Image Security
Container security work reviews the software and configuration packaged in an image, alongside how that image is built and promoted into use.
