Benchmark
Open-source SAST and code scanning benchmark
A vendor-neutral comparison of open source SAST and static code analysis tools for teams that must ship secure software under the Cyber Resilience Act. See where free code scanning tools cover the requirement.
What we compare
Open-source static code analysis, side by side
Intent over volume
The open-source SAST tail is thin, so this benchmark leans on intent: helping teams pick a capable, free static analysis path. It evaluates open-source static analysis engines and code security scanners as comparison subjects.Language coverage
Which languages and frameworks each open source code security scanner actually understands.
Rule quality
Signal-to-noise: how well the SAST tools open source rulesets find real issues without drowning developers.
Pipeline fit
CI/CD integration and developer workflow — where free code scanning tools stay out of the way.
Why SAST matters for the Cyber Resilience Act
Secure by design
The CRA expects vulnerability handling across the product lifecycle — SAST is a core control.
Early detection
Static analysis catches classes of flaws before a product with digital elements ever ships.
