SigmaReview · SAST
Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
Static analysis reads your source code for insecure patterns before the application ever runs — the earliest, cheapest point to kill a vulnerability. The catch is noise: unturned SAST drowns teams in findings nobody triages. SigmaReview pairs the scanner with people who decide what actually matters.
What SAST catches — and when
Injection-prone constructs, hardcoded secrets, unsafe deserialisation, broken crypto usage and taint flows from user input to dangerous sinks — found at commit time, when the fix costs minutes instead of a release cycle.
The false-positive problem
Raw static analysis flags patterns, not exploitability. The difference between a useful programme and an ignored dashboard is triage: severity in YOUR context, reachable paths, and deduplication across scans.
How SigmaReview runs it
Automated SAST integrated into the development workflow (GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins), with findings triaged into audit-ready reports mapped to OWASP, PCI DSS and ISO 27001 expectations — and senior auditors on top for what static analysis cannot see.
Where SAST fits your compliance
PCI DSS 6.2.3 code review and 6.2.4 engineering techniques; ISO 27001 A.8.28 secure coding; SOC 2 CC8 change management — SAST evidence feeds all three when reports are structured for auditors.
FAQ
Does SAST replace manual code review?
No — it scales the mechanical part. PCI DSS explicitly accepts tool-assisted review, but business-logic flaws, auth design errors and chained issues need human review; SigmaReview combines both.
Which languages and repos does it work with?
SigmaReview integrates with GitHub, GitLab and Jenkins pipelines; language coverage is confirmed against your stack during onboarding rather than promised generically.
How do we stop SAST findings being ignored?
Gate on triaged severity, not raw counts: new-code gates in CI, an owner per finding, and reports that speak auditor language so the same work serves compliance.
