Compliance & Standards
Everything You Need from HCL AppScan
Comprehensive features designed to accelerate your security programme and reduce risk across the entire development lifecycle.
AppScan Source (SAST)
Static analysis supporting a broad range of programming languages through HCL's bring-your-own-language (BYOL) capability, aimed at identifying vulnerabilities early in the development lifecycle.
AppScan Standard (DAST)
A dynamic scanner using HCL's Action Based technology, with intelligent crawling, authenticated scanning and, in HCL's words, tens of thousands of built-in security tests for web applications.
AppScan on Cloud
Cloud-hosted AppSec testing enabling teams to scale scanning without infrastructure investment, with a REST API and integrations for build environments, DevOps tools and IDEs.
IAST - Runtime Instrumentation
Agent-based IAST provides internal visibility during functional testing - combining the accuracy of manual testing with automation scale.
Compliance Reporting
Pre-built compliance reports for PCI DSS, HIPAA, OWASP, GDPR, and industry-specific regulations for audit-ready deliverables.
Application Inventory & Governance
Enterprise AppSec programme management with application inventory, risk scoring, and team-level security metrics.
Is HCL AppScan Right for Your Team?
HCL describes AppScan as an AI-powered application security testing platform used by developers, DevOps, security teams and CISOs, and names banking, financial services, insurance and telecommunications among the industries it addresses.
Who uses HCL AppScan: HCL AppScan names Ferrari S.p.A., Nokia and Stryker among its customers on its own website.
HCL AppScan Is a Good Fit For
- Developers who want SAST feedback and secure-coding suggestions inside the IDE, from Visual Studio and VS Code to the JetBrains IDEs
- DevOps and platform teams running SAST, DAST, IAST and SCA scans inside CI/CD pipelines such as Jenkins, Azure DevOps and AWS CodeBuild
- Security teams and CISOs who want SAST, DAST, IAST, SCA and API testing on one platform with compliance-mapped reporting
- Regulated industries HCL names on its own site, including banking, financial services, insurance and telecommunications
Why Teams Choose HCL AppScan
- Shift security left with SAST feedback while code is still being written
- Cut down false-positive triage using HCL's AI-driven finding analytics
- Cover SAST, DAST, IAST, SCA and API testing inside one platform instead of several point tools
- Produce compliance-mapped reports for standards such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR and ISO 27001 without building them by hand
What You Gain with HCL AppScan
AI-driven false positive reduction
HCL states that Intelligent Finding Analytics (IFA) 2.0 filters out up to 98% of false positives in SAST scans and groups related issues into single fix points.
Broad language coverage
AppScan on Cloud and AppScan 360 list more than 30 supported languages and technologies, from Java, C/C++ and Python to Infrastructure as Code for AWS, Google Cloud and Azure.
Full AppSec stack on one platform
SAST, DAST, IAST, SCA and API security testing are combined, and HCL reports that 91% of AppScan DAST scans accurately report important vulnerabilities.
Deployment flexibility
HCL offers AppScan as cloud SaaS, self-managed cloud-native software (AppScan 360) or on-premises products, with cloud, on-premises, sovereign cloud, air-gapped and hybrid deployment options.
Compliance-mapped reporting
AppScan generates report templates mapped to PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, OWASP Top 10, SANS 25 and DISA STIG, which shortens audit preparation.
IDE and CI/CD integration
Plugins cover Visual Studio, VS Code, the JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse and Android Studio, alongside CI/CD integrations for Jenkins, Azure DevOps, AWS CodeBuild/CodePipeline and BitBucket.
