The Product

AI code review that engineers actually trust

Context-aware SAST with inline fix suggestions and a learning loop that eliminates false-positive fatigue.

The Problem

Security tools create alert fatigue, not security

Engineering leads and security engineers at seed-to-Series B software companies face a specific contradiction: they are shipping faster than ever, but their security tooling cannot keep up with the pace. Pull request queues pile up while security issues sail through because reviewers are context-switching between feature work and manual SAST triage.

The core problem is not that static analysis tools are wrong. They are wrong often — but the deeper issue is that they produce so much noise that developers learn to ignore the entire report. A scanner that cries wolf 400 times per PR trains engineers to dismiss it entirely. Critical vulnerabilities do not get missed because engineers are careless; they get missed because the tools have destroyed trust in their own output.

Finding real vulnerabilities inside thousands of noisy alerts takes hours engineers do not have. By the time a security issue is discovered in production, remediation costs 10 times more than catching it at code-review time.

How It Works

From pull request to prioritized finding in seconds

Connect once. Gritcadence runs on every pull request automatically — no configuration files, no manual scans.

01

Source via PR Webhook

Connect your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repository using the one-click app install. Gritcadence listens on every pull-request event and receives the full diff plus branch context. Supported languages include Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust, Java, and Ruby.

02

Multi-Layer Analysis

A fine-tuned code-analysis model reads the diff plus three context layers: call-graph reachability, data-flow trace, and historical pattern similarity from your team's own merged PRs. It ranks findings by exploitability and business impact. False-positive suppression learns from each cycle.

03

Inline Comment + Patch

Each finding arrives as an inline PR comment with severity label, CWE category, reachability verdict, plain-English explanation, and a concrete code patch suggestion. Optionally, route a Slack notification or Jira ticket with the full trace attached for higher-severity findings.

Capabilities

Six capabilities working in parallel

SAST, SCA, context ranking, patch generation, learning loop, and compliance reporting — all in a single PR review cycle.

Context-Aware Vulnerability Ranking

Gritcadence pairs static dataflow analysis with live call-graph reachability to determine whether a vulnerable code path is actually reachable from an entry point. Findings are re-ranked so your team sees the two or three issues that matter this sprint, not 400 undifferentiated alerts from a raw scanner.

Inline Code Patch Suggestions

For each confirmed finding, Gritcadence generates a concrete code patch using the same language and style conventions the team already uses. The suggestion appears as a GitHub/GitLab inline suggestion that reviewers can apply with a single button press, cutting remediation time from hours to seconds.

False-Positive Learning Loop

Every dismiss or accept action a reviewer takes feeds a team-scoped fine-tuning loop. Within 2–3 sprints, Gritcadence learns which patterns your team intentionally accepts or suppresses. Teams report false-positive rates dropping to under 15% within the first month of daily use.

SAST + SCA in One Pass

Gritcadence combines a proprietary SAST engine for first-party code vulnerabilities with an integrated SCA pass that checks every dependency update against the NVD, GitHub Advisory, and OSV databases. Both results surface in the same inline comment thread — no tool-switching required.

Compliance Report Generation

At the end of each sprint or release cycle, Gritcadence compiles a compliance evidence package mapping findings to OWASP Top 10 categories and SOC 2 CC6 controls. Timestamps, reviewer names, resolution status, and exception notes are included — eliminating 3–4 days of manual assembly before audits.

Developer Security Scorecard

Engineering leads see a rolling scorecard showing mean time to remediation, finding-acceptance rate, and repeat-vulnerability patterns per developer and per repository. The scorecard feeds a weekly digest email and a lightweight Slack command, giving security context without turning standups into security reviews.

Integrations

Who It's For

Built for fast-moving engineering teams

Primary Audience

Engineering managers and AppSec engineers

Gritcadence is designed for engineering managers and AppSec engineers at seed-to-Series B software companies with 10 to 100 engineers shipping daily. If your team has a CI/CD pipeline, ships multiple PRs per day, and is running into the limits of raw SAST tooling — alert fatigue, high false-positive rates, review bottlenecks — Gritcadence is built for your situation. Series A is where we fit best: enough team size to feel the noise problem acutely, lean enough that each engineer's trust in the tooling still matters.

Not a Fit

Some use cases we do not serve yet

Gritcadence is not the right tool for solo developers shipping personal projects, where the overhead of structured security review outweighs the risk. We also do not currently serve organizations that require on-premise air-gapped deployment — all analysis runs in our cloud infrastructure. Companies without an active CI/CD pipeline or pull-request-based review workflow will not benefit from the PR-native experience that Gritcadence is built around.
