Why do Security Tech companies use Aikido?
As a security technology company, it is essential to lead by example and maintain the highest standards of security for your application. After all, how can your customers trust you if you don’t implement the strictest security practices?
A data breach could severely compromise your company’s reputation and credibility. With Aikido’s application security solution, you get all-round protection and real-time vulnerability detection, so you have peace of mind for you and your clients.
Compliance
Prepare for ISO & SOC2 compliance
Aikido performs checks and generates evidence for technical controls for ISO 27001:2022 & SOC 2 Type 2. Automating technical controls is a big step-up towards achieving ISO & SOC 2 compliance.
ISO 27001:2022
ISO 27001 is particularly relevant for Security Tech companies. This globally recognized standard ensures that you have a systematic approach to managing sensitive company information, ensuring its confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Aikido automates a variety of ISO 27001 technical controls.

SOC 2 Type 2
SOC 2 is a procedure that ensures your service providers securely manage your data to protect the interests of your organization and the privacy of its clients. Show your commitment to safeguarding data by complying with SOC2. Aikido automates all technical controls, making the compliance process much easier.

Aikido covers all technical code and cloud security requirements for SOC2 Type 2, ISO 27001:2022, and more

How it works
How Aikido works
Connect your code, cloud & containers
It doesn't matter on which tool stack you are. Aikido connects with most popular stacks and scans continuously for issues.
Get relevant security alerts
No need to sift through hundreds of security alerts. Only few of them really matter. Aikido auto-triages notifications.
Features
These scanners have you covered

Static Code Analysis
Scans your source code for security vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, XSS, buffer overflows and other security risks. Checks against popular CVE databases. It works out-of-the-box and supports all major languages.
Learn more
DAST & API Security
Monitor your App and APIs to find vulnerabilities like SQL injection, XSS, and CSRF—both on the surface and via authenticated DAST. Simulate real-world attacks and scan every API endpoint for common security threats. Our Nuclei-based scanner checks your self-hosted apps for common vulnerabilities.

Container Security
Scan your container operating system for packages with security issues.
- Checks if your containers have any vulnerabilities (Like CVEs)
- Highlights vulnerabilities based on container data sensitivity.
- Auto-triaging to filter out false positives

Infrastructure as code (IaC)
Scans Terraform, CloudFormation & Kubernetes Helm charts for misconfigurations.
- Detect issues that leave your infrastructure open to attack
- Identify vulnerabilities before they're committed to the default branch
- Integrated in CI/CD Pipeline
Cloud posture management
Detect cloud infrastructure risks across major cloud providers.
- Scans Virtual Machines (AWS EC2 instances) for vulnerabilities.
- Scan your cloud for misconfigurations and overly permissive user roles/access
- Automate security policies & compliance checks for SOC2, ISO27001, CIS & NIS2

Malware detection
The npm ecosystem is susceptible to malicious packages being published because of its open nature.
Aikido identifies malicious code that may be embedded within JavaScript files or npm packages. Powered by Phylum. (Scans for backdoors, trojans, keyloggers, XSS, cryptojacking scripts and more.)

Protection at Runtime
Block zero-day vulnerabilities. Zen by Aikido detects threats as your application runs and stops attacks in real-time, before they ever reach your database. Block users, bots, countries & restrict IP routes.

Secrets detection
Check your code for leaked and exposed API keys, passwords, certificates, encryption keys, etc…
- Scans your code & surfaces for the most risky secrets
- Integrates directly into your CI/CD workflow, with no maintenance once set up
- Doesn’t notify for secrets that are safe or irrelevant
Orchestrate security follow-up
Aikido is API-first. Easily integrate with your project management tools, task managers, chat apps,.. Sync your security findings and status to Jira. Get chat alerts for new findings, routed to the correct team or person for each project.

FAQ
Is Aikido's software pentested?
Yes. We run a yearly pentest on our platform and also have an ongoing bug bounty program to ensure our security is continuously tested by a wide range of experts.
Does Aikido require agents?
No! Unlike others, we're fully API based, no agents are needed to deploy Aikido! This way you're up & running in mere minutes & we're way less intrusive!
I don’t want to connect my repository. Can I try it with a test account?
Of course! When you sign up with your git, don’t give access to any repo & select the demo repo instead!
What happens to my data?
We clone the repositories inside of temporary environments (such as docker containers unique to you). Those containers are disposed of, after analysis. The duration of the test and scans themselves take about 1-5 mins. All the clones and containers are then auto-removed after that, always, every time, for every customer.
