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. Free tier covers teams with up to 10 contributors and 10 private repositories.
Merito sells Semgrep AppSec Platform and operates the tenant setup, unified policy authoring across SAST, SCA, and Secrets, AI Memories calibration, and developer-workflow integration that turn the platform into a working developer-first AppSec program.
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 across 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.
Per-contributor pricing aligns with developer-first AppSec adoption. The Team plan bundles all three analysis engines plus the AI Assistant and the AppSec Platform dashboard. The free tier covers teams with up to 10 contributors and 10 private repositories with the same Team plan capabilities, including cross-file analysis, Pro Rules, Supply Chain reachability, Secrets active validation, and AI Assistant. Enterprise plan adds higher-volume usage, 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). Merito treats Semgrep AppSec Platform as a strong shift-left foundation that programs layer the runtime and posture stack on top of based on the surface they are defending.
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.
Teams with up to 10 contributors and 10 private repositories get the full Team plan capabilities free. The free tier is genuinely useful for small teams and pilot programs.
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.
Repositories onboard automatically across GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, and Bitbucket with continuous synchronization. AppSec programs scale without per-repository manual configuration.
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
Repositories onboard automatically across GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, and Bitbucket with continuous synchronization.
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.

Per-contributor pricing and unified policy plane only produce value when policy is authored across SAST, SCA, and Secrets. Buy AppSec Platform through Merito and get the policy design, automated SCM rollout, and AI Memories together.
Merito point of view
Semgrep AppSec Platform is the right starting point for engineering organizations adopting developer-first AppSec. 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.
