## Enterprise-Specific Considerations
|
||||
## AI Training Policy
|
||||
|
||||
### Compliance & Certifications
|
||||
**Status:** REQUIRES MANUAL VERIFICATION
|
||||
**Sources to Check:**
|
||||
- Security/Trust page: https://www.aikido.dev/security (or similar)
|
||||
- Compliance documentation
|
||||
### ⚠️ NOT EXPLICITLY STATED - BUT IMPLIED SAFE
|
||||
|
||||
**Check for:**
|
||||
- SOC 2 Type II certification
|
||||
- ISO 27001
|
||||
- GDPR compliance
|
||||
- CCPA compliance
|
||||
- Industry-specific compliance (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, etc.)
|
||||
- OWASP Top 10 coverage
|
||||
- CWE/CVE database integration
|
||||
**Finding:** Aikido's privacy policy does not explicitly address whether customer code is used for AI model training.
|
||||
|
||||
### Deployment Options
|
||||
**Status:** REQUIRES MANUAL VERIFICATION
|
||||
**Check for:**
|
||||
- Cloud-hosted (SaaS)
|
||||
- Self-hosted/on-premise options
|
||||
- Private cloud deployment
|
||||
- Air-gapped environment support
|
||||
- Multi-tenant vs single-tenant
|
||||
- Data residency options (EU, US, etc.)
|
||||
**Why This Is Likely Safe:**
|
||||
|
||||
### Security Features
|
||||
**Status:** REQUIRES MANUAL VERIFICATION
|
||||
**Check for:**
|
||||
- SSO/SAML support
|
||||
- SCIM provisioning
|
||||
- Role-based access control (RBAC)
|
||||
- Audit logging
|
||||
- Data encryption (in transit and at rest)
|
||||
- Two-factor authentication (2FA)
|
||||
- IP whitelisting
|
||||
- Secrets management integration
|
||||
1. **No code retention:** Code is deleted immediately after analysis (1-5 min), making training technically infeasible
|
||||
2. **GDPR compliance:** Training would require explicit disclosure under GDPR - none exists
|
||||
3. **SOC 2 Type II:** Would require documented data handling practices
|
||||
4. **Privacy-first stance:** "Your data won't be shared"
|
||||
|
||||
### Integration Ecosystem
|
||||
**Status:** REQUIRES MANUAL VERIFICATION
|
||||
**Check for:**
|
||||
- Git providers (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket)
|
||||
- CI/CD platforms (Jenkins, CircleCI, GitHub Actions)
|
||||
- Issue trackers (Jira, Linear, GitHub Issues)
|
||||
- Communication (Slack, Microsoft Teams)
|
||||
- Cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP)
|
||||
- Container registries
|
||||
**Recommendation:** While not explicitly stated, the combination of no code storage + GDPR compliance + SOC 2 strongly suggests customer code is NOT used for AI training. For absolute certainty, contact privacy@aikido.dev.

## Notes
|
||||
## Security Practices
|
||||
|
||||
**Important Considerations for Aikido:**
|
||||
1. Aikido is a relatively newer platform - verify company stability and funding
|
||||
2. Check if "all-in-one" approach means different data handling per module
|
||||
3. Verify if cloud scanning means code leaves customer infrastructure
|
||||
4. Understand how secrets detection works and if secrets are stored
|
||||
5. Check if DAST scanning requires exposing applications
|
||||
6. Verify if continuous monitoring means persistent data collection
|
||||
7. Understand the difference between repository scanning vs runtime monitoring
|
||||
8. Check if vulnerability database is proprietary or uses public CVE feeds
|
||||
### ✅ Annual Penetration Testing - VERIFIED
|
||||
|
||||
**Competitive Positioning:**
|
||||
- Compare to Snyk, Semgrep, Checkmarx
|
||||
- Note unique features or limitations
|
||||
- Evaluate maturity of the platform
|
||||
> "Aikido conducts annual external pentests."
|
||||
|
||||
**Last Updated:** [DATE TO BE ADDED AFTER RESEARCH]
|
||||
**Researcher:** [TO BE COMPLETED]
|
||||
**Verification Status:** Template - Requires Manual Research
|
||||
### ✅ Bug Bounty Program - VERIFIED
|
||||
|
||||
> "Aikido maintains an active bug bounty program on Intigriti."
|
||||
|
||||
### ✅ On-Premises Option - VERIFIED
|
||||
|
||||
> "Alternatively, you can run Aikido locally (on-prem) as well."
|
||||
|
||||
For enterprises requiring code to never leave their network.
