• Proof-based scanning eliminates most false-positive triage, which is the main cost of DAST.
• Handles authenticated scanning of modern JavaScript applications well.
• Good asset discovery for organisations that do not know all their own sites.

• Validity checking distinguishes a live credential from a revoked one, which transforms triage priority.
• Scans full commit history, where most leaked secrets actually live.
• Free for teams up to 25 developers.

• Expensive relative to free DAST alternatives.
• Scans take time and are not suited to per-commit feedback.
• Dynamic testing alone cannot find everything a code review would.

• Secrets scanning only — not a general security platform.
• Historical scans on old repositories produce a large initial backlog.
• Requires repository access, which needs a security review of its own.

Organisations with many web applications and no capacity to triage scanner noise.

Any organisation with more than a handful of repositories and no secrets scanning today.
