How ScanDog works
Orchestrate
Seamlessly connect pipelines, ticketing, and messaging tools. Configure contextual parameters per product or repository. Shift left with our InApp scanner deployment; auto‑combining configs and scheduling scans on every PR or custom schedule.
Detect
Ensure complete security coverage with more than 15 open source and commercial scanners. Visualise application health and coverage with clarity and confidence with our intuitive design. Keep track of supply chain threats and license.
Consolidate
Cut through the noise and focus only on real threats. We automatically deduplicate and prioritise high-priority vulnerabilities based on context (Open Intelligence, reachability analysis, exploitability analysis and business impact).
Detection & Coverage
Get comprehensive SAST, DAST, SCA, and container security in one unified platform without expensive enterprise add-ons.
SAST
Advanced static analysis with reachability analysis and AI-powered fixes for secure code development.
SCA
Identifies known vulnerabilities (CVEs) and potential open source license compliance issues within third-party and open-source dependencies. Both ScanDog and Mend offer SCA as a core feature of their platforms.
Remediation & Intelligence
AI-powered insights, automated workflows, and enterprise-grade orchestration with transparent, developer-friendly pricing.
AI Fix
Provides AI-generated code suggestions to assist developers in fixing identified vulnerabilities. ScanDog includes this functionality in its offering. Mend also provides AI-generated fixes; their model includes basic suggestions in the standard plan, but more advanced AI capabilities reserved for a premium tier.
Why Devs Pick ScanDog Over Mend?
Flexible and Affordable Pricing
Mend locks you into a high-cost, flat-rate model at over €83 per developer per month. ScanDog offers a free tier to get started and a Pro plan at just €19/user/month. You get enterprise-grade application security without the enterprise price tag, allowing your team to scale without breaking the budget.
Comprehensive Security Out of the Box
ScanDog provides a complete vulnerability assessment toolkit from day one. Unlike Mend, which charges extra for DAST and completely lacks IaC scanning, our platform includes SAST, SCA, DAST, IaC, and Container Scanning by default. Stop paying for add-ons and get the full picture of your SDLC security.
A True Developer-First Experience
We built ScanDog for the teams that build the code. With a rapid 2-hour setup, seamless CI/CD integrations, and actionable alerts in Slack or Teams, we reduce security review time by 80%. Mend's platform is powerful but often requires dedicated security team oversight, slowing developers down.
Unified and Open Ecosystem
Don't get stuck in a walled garden. Mend limits you to its proprietary scanners. ScanDog's Scanner Deployment Engine lets you orchestrate the tools you already use, like Semgrep and Trivy, alongside our native scanners. This provides a single, deduplicated view of all findings, tailored to your existing workflow.

"ScanDog is an amazing tool. A one-stop shop that gives DevSecOps all the weapons to tackle different scenarios. It's not easy to bring everything together and build a tool that is so well organized. Five on five stars!"
Raghunath Deshpande
Head of AppSec @ SAP
"Having no in-house security expert, we were overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information. ScanDog helped us feel confident about our app security posture."
Cherif Zouein
CEO @ Decimal Studios
"ScanDog's automated approach has reduced our security review time by 80%. We can now focus on building features instead of fixing vulnerabilities."
