Semgrep is an application security company focused on code security for builders. Its platform brings together static analysis for first-party code, software composition analysis for open source dependencies, and secrets scanning, then adds AI-assisted detection, triage, and remediation to help teams prioritize issues that matter and fix them earlier in the development lifecycle.
Semgrep centers its commercial offering on Semgrep AppSec Platform, with deployment options that span local CLI use, IDEs, CI/CD pipelines, pull request workflows, and managed cloud scanning. It also extends coverage to AI-generated code through Semgrep Guardian and to programmable automation through Semgrep Workflows, giving software teams a way to apply security guardrails across both human-written and AI-assisted development.
Offerings, Capabilities, and Integrations
Semgrep combines rule-based static analysis, code-aware dependency analysis, secrets detection, AI reasoning, and remediation support in a single code security stack. Its core capabilities include custom rule creation, policy enforcement, finding triage, remediation guidance, managed scanning, and programmable workflow automation for detection, validation, and fix-oriented security processes.
Semgrep is designed to fit into existing engineering workflows rather than create a separate security lane. It integrates with major source code and CI environments including GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, CircleCI, Buildkite, and Azure Pipelines, and connects with developer and security tools such as VS Code, IntelliJ, Jira, Slack, APIs, webhooks, SSO providers, and MCP-enabled AI tooling.
Products and Services
- Semgrep AppSec Platform: Unified application security platform for managing code, supply chain, and secrets findings, with policy controls, triage, remediation workflows, and managed scanning across repositories.
- Semgrep Code: Static application security testing product for first-party code that uses rules and data flow analysis to find vulnerabilities, security issues, bugs, and code patterns that matter to an organization.
- Semgrep Supply Chain: Software composition analysis offering that detects vulnerable and malicious dependencies, adds codebase-aware reachability, supports SBOM generation, and helps teams evaluate upgrade impact.
- Semgrep Secrets: Secrets scanning product that uses semantic analysis, entropy analysis, and validation to detect exposed credentials and help developers remediate them in code review workflows.
- Semgrep Guardian: Security plugin for AI coding agents and IDE workflows that scans AI-generated code as it is written using Semgrep Code, Semgrep Supply Chain, and Semgrep Secrets.
- Semgrep Multimodal: AI-assisted detection, triage, and remediation layer that combines rule-based analysis with AI reasoning to identify complex logic flaws, reduce false positives, and guide fixes.
- Semgrep Workflows: Beta framework for building and deploying automated code security pipelines that combine Semgrep analysis, LLMs, and custom tooling on Semgrep-managed infrastructure.
- Semgrep Managed Scans: Managed scanning service that lets teams onboard repositories and run full and diff-aware scans on Semgrep infrastructure without reworking existing CI/CD pipelines.
- Semgrep Pro Engine: Advanced analysis engine that expands language support and enables deeper data flow, cross-function, and cross-file analysis for higher-signal detection.
- Semgrep Community Edition: Open source static analysis offering for developers and teams that want to run Semgrep locally or in CI with community rules and CLI-based workflows.
Target Customers
Semgrep targets software organizations that want security embedded directly into developer workflows. Its products are built for developers, application security teams, and security leaders who need actionable findings in pull requests, IDEs, CI/CD pipelines, and increasingly in AI-assisted coding environments.
Semgrep is a strong fit for engineering-led companies managing modern application stacks, large repository footprints, or custom security requirements that benefit from custom rules and workflow automation. Its industry messaging and customer stories show particular relevance for SaaS and cloud software teams, fintech organizations, and enterprises that need scalable guardrails without slowing release velocity.
