Their model is send us your code. Ours is we come to you.

Snyk’s model is: send us your code. Ours is: we come to you.
Snyk is SaaS by design — your code is analysed in Snyk’s cloud, and EU residency and Private Cloud are gated behind the Enterprise tier. Farion deploys into your environment — your cloud, your data centre, or fully air-gapped — at any tier. Your code never leaves your network. Not as a policy. As an architecture.
Licence compliance is where the gap shows. Snyk’s licence engine reads your manifest files and checks the declared licence; if the developer never declared one, you get “unknown” — and the whole capability is Enterprise-only. Farion extracts the full licence text and verifies it matches, for every package, at every transitive level, in every tier.

We come to you
Snyk analyses your code in Snyk’s cloud; EU residency is an Enterprise upsell. Farion runs inside your environment at any tier — your cloud, your data centre, or fully air-gapped.
Licence depth Snyk doesn’t have
Snyk reads declared manifest licences and returns “unknown” when none is declared — and only on Enterprise. Farion extracts and verifies the full licence text for every package, at every transitive level, in every tier.
DAST that knows the flow
Snyk API & Web is a black-box scanner. Farion’s DAST is fed by our SSA engine — it knows the vulnerable handler and the reaching input before it ever sends a request.
Auditable VEX justifications
Farion emits VEX not_affected justifications as auditable artifacts — evidence an assessor can read, not a prioritisation score.
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.
Keep your code in your network — at any tier.
