Why choose Oryon

  1. Analysis starts on your machine.

    Local SAST, code, dependencies and configuration in your editor workflow. You control connected features and AI assistance, according to your plan.

  2. From the editor to every delivery.

    The engine ships with the extension. Connect code analysis, dependencies and CI integrations with your team's platform in one workflow.

  3. One review the whole team can reuse.

    Shared suppressions, history, scan comparisons, CSV exports and PDF reports. Detection becomes ongoing work your team can track.

Capabilities, side by side.

What you need Code Security GitHub Code Security
Editor integration Documented Scan as you edit or save, or start a file or repository scan; configure profiles and exclusions. Documented CodeQL for VS Code queries databases; a database must be created or imported. ↗
Static code analysis Documented Static analysis of code, secrets, infrastructure, pipelines and AI/MCP security. Combines patterns with data tracking within each file. Profiles and exclusions adapt the scan to the repository. Documented CodeQL queries and data-flow analysis. ↗
Dependencies Documented Extends the inventory of packages and their relationships from the repository, including Maven projects. Automatically attempted in the extension and CI; native analyzers provide a fallback when it is unavailable. Documented Dependabot and dependency review; scope depends on repository and license. ↗
Secrets Documented Static analysis of code, secrets, infrastructure, pipelines and AI/MCP security. Combines patterns with data tracking within each file. Profiles and exclusions adapt the scan to the repository. Another suite product GitHub Secret Protection; also available for eligible public repositories. ↗
CI integration Documented Run the same analysis core from GitHub Actions and Azure Pipelines, with OIDC and a project token. Documented GitHub Actions, CLI and external CI with SARIF upload. ↗
AI-assisted fixes Optional / plan dependent Explains causes, risk and impact and proposes changes, diffs, effort and verification checks. Available according to plan and configuration; the user reviews and applies the proposal in the editor. Documented Copilot Autofix for supported queries; no separate Copilot subscription required. ↗
SAST without SaaS code upload Documented OpenGrep bundled with the extension; local SAST works offline once the engine is extracted. AI and sync use the network. Documented CodeQL CLI analyzes locally; publishing results to GitHub is a separate step. ↗
Infrastructure & configuration Documented Rules for Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD and configuration; coverage depends on format and rule. Engine integration Code scanning accepts external analyzers through SARIF; this is not a complete native CodeQL IaC catalog. ↗
Profiles & exclusions Documented production_security/full profiles, path inclusion and exclusion, and .gitignore support. Documented Custom CodeQL queries and analysis-suite selection. ↗
Selective MDN compatibility Documented Selective MDN assessment: String.replaceAll against configured browsers. Other warnings require validation; this is not a general browser compatibility audit. Not documented in this scope No MDN compatibility assessment documented in CodeQL. ↗
Shared triage decisions Documented Project-level shared false-positive suppressions, with restoration from the extension and dashboard. Documented Repository-level shared alerts with dismissal, reopening and permissions. ↗
History & reporting Documented History, comparisons, audit PDF and JSON/CSV exports. The advanced AI report depends on the plan. Documented Central security alerts; the CLI produces SARIF. ↗
