Farion vs. Semgrep

Interprocedural taint in every tier.

Semgrep’s cross-file taint is the paid tier, limited to eight languages — and its AI triage sends part of your file to OpenAI. Farion runs interprocedural SSA taint across six languages in every tier, with our own models, entirely inside your environment.

The paywall

The analysis you need is behind the paywall.

Semgrep CE stops at a single file. Cross-file taint — the analysis that actually finds real vulnerabilities — is the paid tier, and even there it covers eight languages. Its AI triage submits part of the file containing your finding to a hosted model at OpenAI.

Farion runs interprocedural SSA taint in every tier, across Rust, Go, TypeScript, Python, Java and Kotlin. Our security language models are ours. Nothing is sent to OpenAI. Nothing is sent anywhere.

The gap that isn’t close

You’re buying the platform, not a scanner

Taint in every tier

With Semgrep the interprocedural analysis is gated behind the paid plan and eight languages. Farion computes SSA taint for every project, in every tier, across six languages.

Nothing goes to OpenAI

Semgrep’s assistant ships a slice of your file to OpenAI to triage a finding. Farion’s models are ours and run in your network — air-gapped if you want.

A DAST it doesn’t have

Semgrep has no DAST. Farion’s is fed by the SSA engine — it knows the vulnerable handler and the reaching input before it sends a single request.

One platform, already assembled

SCA, licence compliance, container scanning and vuln management aren’t add-ons you wire together. They ship as one product.

The Farion difference

Why teams choose Farion

SAST-informed DAST

Our DAST reads the SSA engine — it knows which HTTP handler is vulnerable and which input reaches it, then synthesises an exploit for that exact flow. Everyone else guesses at your endpoints from the outside.

Audit-grade licence compliance

We extract the full licence text and verify it matches the package — not just the declared metadata. The Black Duck tier of the market, at SCA speed.

Reachability on real taint

Exploitability verdicts ride on SSA-computed, context- and field-sensitive data flows across your whole codebase — not a call-graph guess.

Your code never leaves your network

Full capability inside your own environment — your cloud, your data centre, or fully air-gapped. Not a policy. An architecture.

Own SLMs, no third-party AI API

Our security language models are ours and run on your hardware. No slice of your source is shipped to someone else’s cloud to be reasoned about.

One integrated product

SAST, SCA, DAST, licence, container and vuln management in a single platform — not modules bolted onto a dashboard, and not seven SKUs.

Run interprocedural taint on your whole codebase — free tier included.
