Unified policy plane across SAST, SCA, and Secrets
AppSec policy lives in one console. Programs author rules once rather than maintaining parallel rulebooks across separate scanners. Single policy engine reduces operational coordination cost.
Semgrep • Application security
Semgrep AppSec Platform unifies Semgrep Code (SAST), Semgrep Supply Chain (SCA), and Semgrep Secrets under one SaaS console with a shared policy engine, AI Assistant, automated SCM onboarding, and per-contributor pricing, with a free tier for small teams.
A Semgrep AppSec Platform rollout sets up one tenant and one policy for Code, Supply Chain and Secrets, then writes AI Assistant Memories against your own code so triage reflects how your teams actually build.
What it is
Semgrep AppSec Platform is the unifying SaaS console for the Semgrep portfolio. The platform consolidates Semgrep Code, Semgrep Supply Chain, and Semgrep Secrets under one dashboard with a shared policy engine, central findings surface, AI Assistant, and SCM integrations for GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps and Bitbucket. The architecture means AppSec teams author policy once across SAST, SCA, and Secrets rather than maintaining parallel rulebooks across separate scanners.
Pricing is per contributor, which suits developer-first AppSec. The Team plan bundles all three analysis engines with the AI Assistant and the AppSec Platform dashboard, and the free tier gives small teams the same capabilities, including cross-file analysis, Pro Rules, Supply Chain reachability and Secrets active validation. Enterprise brings higher volume, SLAs and on-prem deployment.
Black Duck Assist style AI grounding shows up here as Semgrep AI Assistant with organization-specific Memories. Customer-authored Memories capture the customer's actual code patterns, secret formats, and policy preferences. The AI Assistant filters findings using those Memories rather than generic LLM defaults. Programs that author Memories against their actual patterns get materially less noise in the active findings backlog.
AppSec Platform is one layer of an AppSec program rather than the full surface. The platform covers SAST, SCA, and Secrets. DAST, IAST, runtime protection, and ASPM consolidation across multi-vendor stacks live elsewhere (Akamai for runtime, Continuous Dynamic for DAST, Seeker for IAST, Software Risk Manager or SaltMiner for ASPM). Think of Semgrep AppSec Platform as a strong shift-left foundation, with runtime and posture tools layered on top according to the surface being defended.
Ideal use cases
What it is best at
AppSec policy lives in one console. Programs author rules once rather than maintaining parallel rulebooks across separate scanners. Single policy engine reduces operational coordination cost.
Per-contributor subscription at the Team plan. Pricing scales with developer count rather than per-application licensing which aligns AppSec cost with developer-first program adoption.
Small teams get every Team plan capability without paying, which makes pilots easy to run.
Organization-specific Memories capture customer-actual patterns. AI Assistant filters findings using those Memories rather than generic LLM output. Materially reduces analyst toil when calibrated.
New repositories in GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps and Bitbucket are picked up and kept in sync automatically, so nobody configures repositories one at a time.
Core capabilities
The three analysis engines that the AppSec Platform consolidates.
Semgrep Code (SAST)
Cross-file dataflow analysis with 20,000-plus Pro Rules and YAML custom rule authoring across 30-plus programming languages.
Semgrep Supply Chain (SCA)
Software Composition Analysis with dataflow reachability through transitive dependency graphs.
Semgrep Secrets
Secrets detection combining semantic dataflow, entropy, regex, and active validation against issuing services.
How the platform unifies policy across scan types.
Single policy plane
Policy authored once applies across SAST, SCA, and Secrets. Programs avoid parallel rulebooks.
Custom YAML rules
Custom rules deploy across the analysis engines. AppSec architects encode internal standards once and apply across scan surfaces.
Risk-based prioritization
Unified risk score combines reachability data, severity, and policy across scan types.
Where AI augments triage across the unified findings surface.
Cross-product noise filtering
AI Assistant filters findings across SAST, SCA, and Secrets using organization-specific Memories.
Organization-specific Memories
Customer-authored Memories capture organization patterns. AI Assistant grounds triage in those Memories.
AI-powered business-logic detection
Private beta capability for catching IDORs (Insecure Direct Object References) and broken authorization patterns.
How the AppSec Platform meets developers and CI/CD.
Automated SCM onboarding
Automatic onboarding and sync for every connected SCM organization.
PR-time scanning
Scans run at PR creation, update, or pre-merge. Findings post as PR comments inside the developer review workflow.
IDE plugins
VS Code, IntelliJ, Vim/Neovim plugins surface findings during authoring with summaries and suggested fixes.
CI/CD integration
Native plugins for Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure Pipelines, and Bitbucket Pipelines.
How the AppSec Platform is bought and bundled.

Per-contributor pricing and a single policy plane deliver value only once the policy actually spans SAST, SCA and Secrets. Small teams can prove that on the free tier before committing to a paid plan.
Merito point of view
For engineering organizations adopting developer-first AppSec, Semgrep AppSec Platform is where to begin. The unified policy plane reduces operational coordination cost across SAST, SCA, and Secrets. Per-contributor pricing aligns AppSec cost with developer count rather than per-application licensing. The free tier is genuinely useful for small teams and pilots.
Programs that adopt the AppSec Platform expecting it to cover the full AppSec surface are setting up the wrong scope. The platform covers shift-left scanning. DAST, IAST, runtime protection, and ASPM consolidation across multi-vendor stacks live elsewhere. Customers needing those layers should plan to combine Semgrep with Akamai (runtime protection), Continuous Dynamic or Akamai API Security (DAST and runtime API), Seeker Interactive (IAST), and Software Risk Manager or SaltMiner (ASPM correlation across vendors).
AI Assistant Memories matter more than vendor copy implies once policy is authored. AI noise filtering grounded in organization-specific Memories reduces analyst toil materially. Programs that adopt AppSec Platform without authoring Memories get less from AI Assistant because the AI guidance lacks customer-specific context to ground in.

Semgrep October 2026 adds Semgrep Guardian support for Codex and extends controls for AI providers and Agentic Workflows. It also improves GitHub integration reliability, exposes Autofix results in the findings API, and fixes scan, secrets, and workflow execution issues.
.png&w=2560&q=75)
Semgrep’s September 2026 updates make AI-assisted development scanning more visible to release owners by showing Guardian setup, scan results, sign-in requirements, and server errors directly in supported AI coding agents. Teams can export Agentic Workflows issues through CSV and the public API, while fixes improve branch accuracy, repository attribution, and branch-check reliability for private connectivity. These changes help enterprises produce more dependable security evidence for AI-assisted delivery.

Semgrep’s August 2026 update introduces structured, searchable Agentic Workflows logs and improves source-file links when SCM connectivity fails. Organizations using current Policies should plan for unified policies migration beginning August 24, 2026; the existing Policies experience sunsets November 1, 2026. The release also adds breaking_change and full_scan vocabulary to the public beta policies API and updates project finding counts to include Reviewing and To fix statuses.
