Semgrep specialists for your dedicated team.

Where Semgrep fits in a long-term product team.

Custom rules are what set Semgrep apart. When a review finds a dangerous pattern, such as a raw SQL string built from request input or a route registered without the authentication decorator, a short rule can find every other instance in the codebase and block new ones in the next pull request. Because the rule reads like the code it matches, a developer can review it and see why it fired, and new rules can be drafted and tested in the Semgrep Playground before they reach the repository. Taint mode follows data from sources to sinks for the cases a single pattern cannot express, and the open-source engine, Semgrep Community Edition, runs the same rules locally, in pre-commit hooks and in any CI system.

Switching on large rule packs at once is the common mistake. A long list of findings on the first run, many of them false positives for that codebase, teaches developers to ignore the tool. A small set that blocks, a larger set that only comments, and a habit of turning each confirmed vulnerability into a new rule keep the signal high. Static analysis also misses whole classes of problem, such as broken business logic, so it sits beside review and testing.

What your dedicated team does with Semgrep.

A rule set is a record of what the team has learned about its own code. Each incident and each review finding becomes a rule, and over a year or two the rules describe the mistakes this product is prone to, written in its own frameworks and naming.

Writing and pruning those rules is continuous work for a security engineer who knows the codebase, and it fits naturally in a dedicated cybersecurity team.

Common Semgrep use cases.

• One finding turned into a rule A pattern found in review searched across the whole codebase and blocked in future pull requests.
• Framework-specific checks Rules written for the product's own helpers and conventions, which generic rule packs know nothing about.
• Findings in the pull request Results posted as review comments, so the developer sees the issue while the change is still fresh.

Adding Semgrep skills to your team.

Rule writing and triage are part of one committed monthly capacity across the security discipline, sized to the codebase and its pace of change.

Semgrep specialists join your team remotely as dedicated, full-time team members, selected, employed and managed by us in Chiang Mai and Bangkok. Companies that hire offshore developers through Azendo add the skill at the next monthly cycle.
