- If procurement requires publicly verifiable security and compliance artifacts prior to engagement
- Public SOC 2 or ISO 27001 documentation was not found in accessible materials, and the vendor does not present a public trust center in the reviewed sources.
- If the primary need is standard SAST/SCA/secret scanning with transparent, low-friction pricing
- Competitors such as GitHub Advanced Security and Semgrep publish entry pricing and may be faster to evaluate for basic scanning needs.
- If the security program is at an early stage
- The vendor's approach depends on having a history of findings and established processes to derive and apply organizational learning; organizations without that historical data may not realize the intended benefits.
- If the organization lacks processes to safely review and operationalize automated remediation
- Automated remediation without robust review gates, testing, and staged rollout can introduce operational risk.
- If vendor lock-in risk is a primary concern
- Systems that store organizationally derived knowledge can be difficult to migrate; procurement should evaluate exportability of rules, policies, and derived artifacts.
- Current limitations acknowledged by the vendor
- The vendor does not publish a public list of limitations or a public roadmap on the pages reviewed.
- Roadmap (not publicly available)
- Not publicly documented.
- Scale limitations
- Not publicly documented; buyers should request scale and performance characteristics during evaluation.
- Security or compliance gaps
- Public certification and trust-center materials were not found in accessible sources; this is a common procurement blocker and should be validated under NDA if necessary.
- API limitations or integration constraints
- Not publicly documented; request integration compatibility matrices and connector coverage in technical evaluation materials.
