Aikido — shift-left SAST & SCA, embedded in your pipeline

Static analysis and software-composition analysis that surfaces findings in CI/CD and pull requests — with false-positive triage by Passeca so developers see real issues, not noise.

Aikido is a developer-security platform for static application security testing (SAST) and software composition analysis (SCA), shifting findings into CI/CD and pull requests. Passeca deploys Aikido into the pipeline, triages false positives so developers see genuine issues, and tracks the secure-SDLC metrics that matter — feeding critical findings into PassIRP alongside operational detections.

The product

What does Aikido do?

The application-security layer of the Passeca stack.

Aikido scans source code (SAST) for security flaws and third-party dependencies (SCA) for known-vulnerable packages. Critically, it delivers findings where developers already work — in the CI/CD pipeline and directly in pull requests — so remediation happens in flow, at the cheapest point in the lifecycle, rather than in a separate backlog no one owns.

The platform also applies false-positive triage, so the signal that reaches a developer is high-confidence. This is what keeps a shift-left programme credible: developers act on findings because the findings are real.

The partnership

What Passeca adds

Implementation, false-positive triage, developer enablement, and integration with PassIRP.

Deploying a SAST/SCA tool is easy; making its output trusted and acted upon is the hard part. Passeca configures Aikido for the codebase and CI/CD pipeline, triages findings to suppress false positives before they reach developers, and supports the engineering team in remediation — providing guidance, tracking metrics, and reporting secure-SDLC progress to leadership.

Critical findings — a vulnerable dependency in production, a serious code flaw — feed into PassIRP so they are tracked as security issues with owners and deadlines, not lost in a tool no one checks.

Audience

Who is Aikido + Passeca for?

Teams shipping code that need security in the pipeline, not at the end.

  • SaaS and technology companies shipping code continuously.
  • FinTechs and regulated software vendors needing auditable appsec.
  • Any engineering org that wants findings in pull requests, not a separate backlog.

FAQ

Aikido and Passeca, answered

The questions engineering and security leaders ask about shift-left security.

What is Aikido?
Aikido is a developer-security platform covering static application security testing (SAST) and software composition analysis (SCA). It scans source code and dependencies for vulnerabilities and shifts the findings into CI/CD and pull requests so developers fix them in flow.
What is the difference between SAST and SCA?
SAST analyses your own source code for security flaws — injection, broken access control, insecure patterns. SCA analyses the third-party libraries and dependencies your code uses, flagging known-vulnerable packages. Aikido covers both, plus false-positive triage.
What does Passeca add to Aikido?
Implementation, false-positive triage, developer enablement, and integration with PassIRP. Passeca deploys Aikido into the CI/CD pipeline, triages the findings so developers see real issues not noise, helps developers remediate, and tracks the secure-SDLC metrics that matter to leadership.
Why is false-positive triage important?
Because developer-security tools that cry wolf get ignored. Passeca triages Aikido's output so that what reaches a developer in a pull request is a genuine, actionable finding — which is what keeps the programme credible and the remediation rate high.
How does Aikido integrate with Passeca platforms?
Application-security findings from Aikido feed into PassIRP, where critical vulnerabilities in production code or dependencies can be tracked as security issues alongside operational detections — closing the gap between appsec and SecOps.
Who is Aikido + Passeca for?
Organisations building software — SaaS companies, FinTechs, any team shipping code continuously — that need security embedded in the development pipeline rather than bolted on at the end. It is the tooling layer of Passeca's secure-SDLC service.
Does Aikido replace penetration testing?
No — it complements it. SAST and SCA find the code-level and dependency issues continuously and cheaply; penetration testing finds the business-logic and architectural issues that automated tools cannot. Passeca recommends both as part of a secure SDLC.
How do I buy Aikido through Passeca?
Request a demo through /contact/demo. Passeca scopes the codebase and CI/CD pipeline, deploys Aikido, sets up the false-positive triage workflow, and offers ongoing management of the secure-SDLC programme.
