Back to Guardra

900+ teams. One outcome: ship faster, safer.

From fintechs passing SOC 2 in 72 hours to AI platforms cutting merge review by 40%, here's the evidence — with the numbers and the names.

Real teams. Measurable outcomes.

The numbers below are from production customers. No rounded-up testimonials — just before and after.

Financial Services

NorthBank

2,400 engineers · 1,100 repos

Replaced 4 legacy scanners and passed SOC 2 Type II renewal in 72 hours.

NorthBank was spending $1.8M/yr across Snyk, SonarQube, GitGuardian, and a GRC consultancy — and still missed a leaked Stripe key in a test repo that led to a regulator inquiry. Guardra consolidated all four tools and auto-generated their entire SOC 2 evidence package.

We shut down our entire appsec tooling committee. Guardra just does the work — and the auditors are happier than they've ever been.

Healthcare

Helios Health

HIPAA · 48M patient records

Caught a 6-year-old credential leak within 4 minutes of onboarding.

On day one, Guardra surfaced an AWS root key committed to a legacy research repo in 2019. The key had been rotated on paper — but was still active. CISO estimates the leak prevented a $40M+ HIPAA breach event.

Four minutes. That's how long it took Guardra to find something four pen-tests and two auditors had missed.

Vercore

Series C · 400 engineers

Shipped 40% faster by putting Guardra in front of every merge.

Vercore's engineers ship 300+ PRs/day, 46% of which contain AI-generated code. Before Guardra, their security team was a bottleneck. Now, 91% of findings are auto-fixed before a human sees them — and security reviews happen only on the 9% that matter.

The auto-fix PRs are uncanny. 9 out of 10 merge without a human touching them — and the one that doesn't is usually the one that matters.

We evaluated Snyk, Semgrep, and Guardra head-to-head. Guardra found 3x more genuine vulnerabilities with a fifth of the false positives. The auto-fix feature alone saved my team 20+ hours per week.

The compliance evidence export is a game-changer. What used to take a six-person team six weeks for SOC 2 prep now takes two days. Our auditor specifically asked who we were using.

Finally, a security tool engineers don't hate. The PRs are clean, the tests actually work, and the explanations are useful. Our merge velocity went UP after installing a security scanner — first time I've ever seen that.

The MITRE ATT&CK mapping and CWE coverage are the best in the market. I used to maintain our own rule library — deleted it the week we went live with Guardra.

Airgapped deployment worked on the first try. FedRAMP readiness posture is clearly documented. Customer-managed encryption keys are first-class, not an afterthought.

Principal Engineer, Defense Contractor

Capterra

Onboarded 312 repositories in 90 minutes. Found a leaked AWS access key from 2019 in the first scan. It paid for itself on day one.

Guardra is doing for application security what Stripe did for payments — making the hard part invisible.

Forbes

The first scanner we've tested where auto-fix isn't a gimmick. The PRs are production-quality.

Dark Reading

In a category crowded with me-too scanners, Guardra stands out for its breadth and its restraint.
