Compliance & Standards
Everything You Need from Klocwork
Comprehensive features designed to accelerate your security programme and reduce risk across the entire development lifecycle.
Deep C/C++ Analysis
Finds complex memory errors, null pointer dereferences, buffer overflows, and concurrency issues specific to embedded and native code.
Functional Safety Standards
Checkers mapped to MISRA C/C++, CERT C/C++, CWE and AUTOSAR C++14, with releases qualified for IEC 61508, IEC 62304, EN 50716 and ISO 26262.
Differential Analysis
Analyses only changed code, making it fast enough to run on every commit without slowing down embedded development workflows.
IDE Integration
Feedback inside Visual Studio, VS Code, Eclipse, CLion and IntelliJ IDEA so developers fix issues while still in the context of writing code.
CI/CD & Build System Support
A Jenkins plugin, CI command line tools and build capture for Make, CMake and other build systems, for automated DevSecOps pipelines.
Developer-Centric Reporting
Prioritised findings with root-cause analysis, code paths, and fix guidance so developers spend less time triaging and more time coding.
Is Klocwork Right for Your Team?
Perforce, the company behind Klocwork, names embedded development, automotive, aerospace and defence, medical technology and industrial automation as its core industries.
Who uses Klocwork: Perforce Software names Spirent Communications, Motorola, Elektrobit, ACI Worldwide, Raytheon Network Centric Systems and ACCESS Co., Ltd. among its customers on its own website.
Klocwork Is a Good Fit For
- Embedded and native C/C++ teams that build with many compilers and cross-compilers
- Automotive, medical, rail and industrial teams working to ISO 26262, IEC 62304, EN 50716 or IEC 61508
- Security and compliance leads who must show conformance to MISRA, AUTOSAR C++14, CERT, CWE or DISA STIG
- Larger teams that want analysis in the IDE and in CI, with results managed on a central Klocwork server
Why Teams Choose Klocwork
- Catch defects and security vulnerabilities while the code is being written, when they are cheapest to fix
- Analyse only the files that changed and still get differential results in CI/CD
- Check safety and security coding standards in the same tool
- Use releases that are qualified for safety-related software development
What You Gain with Klocwork
Early feedback for developers
Klocwork alerts developers to defects and compliance violations as they work, through plugins for IDEs such as Visual Studio, VS Code, Eclipse, CLion and IntelliJ IDEA.
Analysis that fits CI/CD
Differential analysis uses context from the Klocwork server to analyse only the files that changed, so checks can run on every commit or pull request.
Coding standard compliance
Checkers map to MISRA C and C++, AUTOSAR C++14, CERT, CWE, OWASP Top 10, DISA STIG, PCI DSS and ISO/IEC TS 17961, which shortens audit preparation.
Qualified for safety-related work
Perforce documents Klocwork releases 2025.2 and 2025.4 as qualified for safety-related software development under IEC 61508, IEC 62304, EN 50716 and ISO 26262.
One workflow for mixed codebases
C, C++, C#, Rust, Java, JavaScript, Python and Kotlin are covered, so embedded and application code can share one analysis workflow.
Works with your build
The kwinject tool captures your existing C/C++ or C# build, including Make and CMake builds, to create the build specification Klocwork analyses.

Klocwork trials are provided on request, not as an open download. SecOpsTool arranges a 14-day trial licence for teams in India, together with the installers and help with setup.
Perforce lists C, C++, C#, Rust, Java, JavaScript, Python and Kotlin. C and C++ have the broadest IDE and coding standard coverage.
Yes. Perforce documents Klocwork releases 2025.2 and 2025.4 as qualified for safety-related software development according to IEC 61508, IEC 62304 (medical), EN 50716 (rail) and ISO 26262 (automotive). Ask us which release matches your project.
Klocwork checkers map to MISRA C (2004, 2012, 2023), MISRA C++, AUTOSAR C++14, CERT, CWE, OWASP Top 10, DISA STIG, PCI DSS and ISO/IEC TS 17961. Coverage depends on the language.
It does not have to. Differential analysis checks only the files that changed, using context from the Klocwork server, while full integration analysis can run on a schedule.
