Static Application Security Testing

Detect vulnerable code, insecure patterns, hardcoded secrets and code quality issues before they reach production — with automated scans, IDE plugins, CI/CD gates, pull request checks, remediation guidance and security trend reporting.

overview

Identify Security Issues Early

Testing your applications late in the software development lifecycle increases the risk of vulnerabilities reaching production. Late-stage fixes are expensive, slow down delivery and place unnecessary pressure on development teams.

Blacklock SAST helps teams shift security left by analysing source code early and continuously across repositories, branches and development pipelines. Scan code on push, pull request, merge request, scheduled intervals or both push and pull request events, depending on your development workflow.

Developers can also use Blacklock’s IDE plugin to identify security issues while writing code. This provides fast feedback before code is committed, helping teams fix vulnerable patterns, hardcoded secrets and insecure coding issues earlier in the development process.

Findings are delivered through the Blacklock platform with vulnerability history, remediation status, ticketing, reporting and developer-ready recommendations from a single pane of glass.

Source Code Analysis

Blacklock’s SAST tool performs comprehensive and granular testing across 30+ languages, interrogating source code repositories to surface code smells, bugs, hardcoded secrets and security vulnerabilities.

The scanner analyses source code without executing the application, helping developers identify insecure patterns, injection risks, weak cryptography, insecure error handling, vulnerable dependencies and quality issues before release.

Continuous Detection

Continuous repository scanning enables early detection of vulnerable code as applications evolve. Blacklock can scan on code push, pull request, merge request, scheduled scan or both push and pull request events.

This gives developers and security teams real-timevisibility into new vulnerabilities, recurring issues and remediation progress. The platform provides trend reporting and vulnerability tracking acrossrepositories, branches and teams.

Automation

Automation is at the heart of Blacklock’s SAST capability. Blacklock integrates with source code repositories, CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows to automatically analyse code at the right stage of delivery.

Teams can trigger scans during commits, builds, pull requests or release workflows. Pull request scanning helps prevent vulnerable code from being merged, while push-based scanning provides fast feedback as developers commit changes.

Developer Workflow and IDE Plugin

Blacklock supports developer-first security through IDE plugin integration and platform-based remediation guidance. Developers can identify issues directly in their coding environment before code is pushed to a repository.

IDE feedback helps reduce context switching, shorten remediation time and improve secure coding habits. Combined with pull request checks and CI/CD scanning, Blacklock gives teams flexible options to catch vulnerabilities before they become production risk.

Hear From Our Customers

Fantastic PTaaS Experience

We had a fantastic experience with the Blacklock PTaaS platform. What stood out was the identification of vulnerabilities and remediation work goes in parallel, which made the pen test more efficient and smart and delivered a clean report. The UI is simple, and the ability to update vulnerability status ourselves makes the process smooth. Overall, it was a great experience, and we are happy to have worked with such a dedicated and professional team!

Penetration tests made easy...

"I found Blacklock to be much faster and easier than traditional penetration testing. Efficiently dealing with vulnerabilities at the same cost is a game-changer.”

Bruce Sullivan
- Co-Founder & CTO, Affinity HR and Payroll
Well-suited for all levels...

“Blacklock’s service is outstanding and simple. Within one day, we received a full report that clearly outlined all the vulnerabilities and recommendations for our new app.”

Shona Jones
- Senior Advisor Office for Disability Issues, NZ Government
Simplified process with quick and efficient results..

“I've been working with the Blacklock team for 4 years now and they have been an absolute pleasure to work with. They always communicate with me exceptionally well and are aware of my product's specific needs for testing. Aside from the people, the new Blacklock tool has really simplified the whole process for me and is great for getting test results quickly and efficiently!”

Jordan Ell
Chief Technical Officer, Riipen Technologies
Happy with choice

After testing the Blacklock automated penetration tool during a trial period, I decided a subscription was the right choice. Payment via the AWS marketplace was frictionless, and the Blacklock team has been extremely responsive to onboarding and support questions. I've been very happy with how Blacklock got us to OWASP Top 10 compliance in only a few days. I was impressed at how our entire attack surface was scanned for common vulnerabilities. The findings generated by the scans are clear and specific. The reports look very professional, and the vulnerability lists reference how the discovered issues may be corrected. The people behind Blacklock are very knowledgeable and have been helpful tuning the reports to our needs. In my opinion, Blacklock provides excellent value.

Penetration tests made easy...

We had an urgent penetration test requirement come up from the customer. We came to Blacklock from a reference, and they got onto it very quickly. The onboarding process was quick, and we were able to kick off pentesting as per our schedule. The manual pentesting was very thorough, and the customer accepted the report with high satisfaction. I highly recommend Blacklock and won't hesitate to come back when we have a new requirement. Thank you Blacklock team
