Arnica
Pipelineless AppSec platform unifying SCA, SAST, IaC, secrets, and package reputation scanning.
Arnica Overview
What it does
Arnica is a pipelineless application security platform that embeds scanning directly into source control systems instead of CI/CD pipelines, covering Software Composition Analysis (SCA), Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Infrastructure as Code (IaC) misconfigurations, hardcoded secrets, package reputation, and Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation. An Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) layer consolidates these findings into a prioritized risk inventory, and the Arnie AI module extends coverage to code written by AI coding assistants.
How it works
The platform connects to the major source code management platforms and analyzes commits, branches, and pull requests in real time, covering every repository and branch with zero pipeline configuration. Findings are prioritized using CVSS, EPSS, and Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) data, reachability analysis for dependencies, and automatic repository criticality classification, then routed to automatically identified risk owners through chat and ticketing tools, with generated code fixes delivered in pull requests. Detected secrets are validated against live services and removed by rewriting commits, while Arnie AI injects version-controlled secure coding rules into AI coding assistants and blocks unfixed issues at merge.
Credentials and traction
SOC 2 Type II compliant, with controls examined annually against AICPA standards. Arnica was listed as a Niche Player in the inaugural 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Software Supply Chain Security, named a Major Player in the 2025 IDC MarketScape for Application Security Posture Management (ASPM), and named a Representative Vendor in the 2026 Gartner Hype Cycle for Secure Software Engineering. Customers include Finastra, FullStory, N-able, and Complete Genomics.
Key Capabilities
mapped to solution categoriesIngests and normalizes findings from multiple AppSec tools (SAST, DAST, SCA, container scanning, secrets scanning) into a single unified finding model with a consistent severity scale across sources.
Scores aggregated findings using multiple contextual factors (exploitability, reachability, internet exposure, threat intelligence, and business criticality) rather than individual tool severity ratings, producing a single actionable priority queue across all AppSec signals.
Scores dependency vulnerabilities by whether the vulnerable function is reachable in the actual application execution path, not just present in the dependency tree, reducing the actionable finding list to confirmed code-level exposures.
Pushes prioritized findings to developer ticketing (Jira, GitHub Issues, Linear), and IDEs with remediation context, removing the security team from the routing path.
Maintains a registry of all applications in scope, their associated scan coverage, and their AppSec tool assignments, surfaces applications with no active scanning.
Evaluates all applications against organization-wide AppSec policies (minimum scan coverage requirements, severity thresholds, mandatory compliance checks), and flags non-compliant applications.
Maps aggregated AppSec findings and scan coverage to regulatory and framework controls (PCI DSS Requirement 6, ISO 27001 Annex A.8.28, SOC 2), and generates audit-ready evidence and compliance reports across the application portfolio.
Risk context for open-source dependencies including reachability, exploitability, and upgrade impact.
Compiles vendor, third-party and open-source maintainer reputation to flag risk from unmaintained, deprecated or abandoned software.
Assessment of developer and machine identity access and permissions across source control and pipelines.
Live visibility into code, components, pipelines, and developer activity across the software development lifecycle.
Governs third-party software consumption to apply consistent software supply chain security policy.
