Arnica

commercial

Arnica is an application security platform that scans code for vulnerabilities across SASTSASTStatic application security testing, analyzing source code or compiled code for vulnerabilities without running the application. It helps developers find problems before deployment., SCASCASoftware composition analysis, identifying third-party dependencies and checking them for known vulnerabilities and license issues. It covers software a team uses rather than writes itself., IaCIaCInfrastructure as Code: the practice of defining and provisioning compute infrastructure through machine-readable config files rather than manual processes, giving cyber tools repeatable, version-controlled environment setup., and secrets, integrating directly into source code management.

Summary

Arnica is a commercial application security posture managementapplication security posture managementApplication security posture management, combining findings about applications from multiple tools and relating them to business context. It helps teams decide which fixes matter most. platform that protects developers, source code, and products across the software development lifecycle. It runs as a cloud-based service that connects into an organization's source control and CI/CD systems, covering SAST, SCA, IaC, open-source license violations, hardcoded secrets, and excessive developer access to code, with findings routed through chatops integrations like Microsoft Teams rather than a separate dashboard alone. It is aimed at application security and platform teams who need to manage risk across many repositories and contributors without slowing engineering down, offering an inventory of every person and service account with code access and a workflow for adjusting finding severity with a documented reason. It sits in the ASPMASPMApplication security posture management, combining findings about applications from multiple tools and relating them to business context.

How Arnica helps

Which service accounts and people have access to our code across every source control system we use?

builds a cross-SCM inventory of every human and service identity with repository access, so accounts scattered across different platforms show up in one place

Which of our repositories contain hardcoded secrets?

scans code for exposed credentials and tokens and reports where they live so they can be revoked and removed

Which of our open-source dependencies carry a known vulnerability?

checks the packages pulled into our codebase against known flaws and flags the ones exposed

Are any of our code changes introducing risk before they merge?

evaluates commits and pull requests against its checks so risky changes surface during review instead of after release

Lines in monospace are the tool's own words: help text parsed from its source, or an endpoint from its API document. Under release, a line is our summary of a dated release. Under docs, it is quoted from the tool's own documentation or website. Each links back to the source it came from.

Score card

  1. Shipping velocity releases a month, last 12 months
  2. Documentation quality release-notes rubric, 0–100
  3. Breaking-change discipline how rarely a release breaks users, and notice given
  4. Maintenance risk quiet time against its own cadence, maintainers
  5. Innovation & surface new capabilities, API and MCP surface

Five scores for Arnica, each built from the releases, notes and API history this site tracks — and, on Researcher and Business, where it stands among every measured tool in its category and how that has moved.

Score cards are part of every paid plan.

See plans →

Each score is 0–100 on a published rubric, derived from data this site already shows. A dimension we cannot measure says so — it is never scored 0 and never enters a rank.

How this is scored
  • Shipping velocity — releases a month over the last 12 months, on a log scale where 16 a month scores 100. Needs 3 releases in the window.
  • Documentation quality — the release-notes rubric published on the analytics page, unchanged.
  • Breaking-change discipline — the share of releases carrying a breaking change (none scores 100, half or more scores 0). Only projects that label breaking changes are measured: a clean record cannot be told from an unlabelled one.
  • Maintenance risk — quiet time measured against the tool's own release cadence (quiet longer than 90 days and three typical gaps scores 0), plus the number of active maintainers and whether contributors are growing, where known. Higher is lower risk.
  • Innovation & surface — new capabilities in the feature ledger this year, API and MCP operations added, and the share of commits that are features: the mean of whichever we hold.
  • Community health (open-source tools only) — each is a direction, not a size: contributors this year against last, the bus factor now against a year ago, and issues closed per issue opened, where steady scores 50, doubled 100 and halved 0; plus the median time to a maintainer's first reply (an hour scores about 100, a month or more 0). A commercial card has no repository and carries none of the four.
  • Documented delivery (commercial tools) — when a vendor's documented new capabilities have slowed against its own baseline, that counts against the overall standing as heavily as two low dimensions. Steady delivery, or too little history to judge, leaves the standing alone; it is never a sixth score.
  • Open-source tools are scored on repository signals; commercial tools on their published changelog. Ranks compare tools within one category and one profile and need at least five measured peers; the overall standing needs three ranked dimensions. Best-in-breed or consolidator is a shape, not a quality, and is never scored.

Release-note detail over time
