Shift-Left Security

Catch CVEs at commit.
Not at 3am.

Vulnerabilities found in production cost 95× more to fix than those caught at commit time. Tacosec runs in your CI/CD pipeline and blocks vulnerable code before it ships.

The Real Cost

Every stage you wait, it gets more expensive

CVE Remediation Cost — By Stage

Cost to fix in development$80per vuln

Cost to fix in QA/staging$240per vuln

Cost to fix in production$7,600+per vuln

→ Tacosec: catch it in development, every time

The Flow

From commit to clean ship

Developer commits code

SBOM generated for new dependencies

CI pipeline triggered

Tacosec scans image layers & packages

CVE check runs

Scored by CVSS, EPSS, and exploit availability

Block or warn

Policy gates block criticals · warnings for mediums

Clean build ships

Zero known critical CVEs reach production

Pipeline Integration

Zero friction. Maximum coverage.

Native CI/CD integration

GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI — Tacosec drops into your existing pipeline with a single step. No new toolchain required.

Policy-based gates

Define what fails a build. Block on CRITICAL CVEs with public exploits. Warn on HIGH. Pass everything else. Fully configurable per repo or org.

Sub-60-second scan times

Incremental scanning means only new layers get re-analyzed. Fast enough to run on every PR without slowing down your team.

Shift-left without toil

Developers get inline PR comments with fix suggestions — not a separate dashboard to log into. Security guidance where engineers already work.

In Practice

What your pipeline step looks like

GitHub Actions — tacosec/scan@v2

▶ Tacosec CVE scan starting — PR #471 (feat/upgrade-base-image)
