Importance of License Risk

Why License Scanning Matters

down arrow

Some open-source licenses have clauses that could force you to open-source your own code.

It’s crucial to ensure none of your dependencies carry licenses that threaten your business’s IP.

License scanning also prepares you to provide SBOMs during security audits.

Vanta

Get an Overview on License Risk

Get a complete overview of all licenses in use and the risk associated with each.

Vanta

Easily Export SBOMs

Export a CycloneDX SBOM with one click (or a CSV list, if needed).

Features

License scanning features

Generate SBOMs Instantly

Security audits often demand a full SBOM. Aikido lets you analyze, review, and export your software bill of materials anytime—in CycloneDX, SPDX, or CSV formats.

Actionable License Insights

License noise is overwhelming. Aikido filters the signal using an LLM-powered engine and multiple data sources to score severity. Risky licenses rise to the top—so you can act fast, assign tasks, and clean up your SBOM as you go.

Flexible License Risk Controls

Easily adjust how license risk is scored. You can mark certain licenses as “internal” to filter them out of your reports.

No Legal Jargon, Just License Facts

Aikido’s vetted license database translates complex legal jargon into plain, actionable language. Quickly understand each license’s obligations and risks.

Full License Coverage, Including Containers

Most license tools only scan your repositories. Aikido gives you full coverage by scanning the licenses inside your container images as well.

Virtual Machine Scanning

Meet Software Compliance Standards

Regulators are increasingly focused on software transparency. Aikido makes it easy to generate SBOMs (Software Bill of Materials) to meet key compliance requirements around software supply chain security.

Full Coverage in One Platform

Replace your scattered toolstack with one platform that does it all—and shows what matters.

Code & Containers

Open source dependency scanning (SCA)

Continuously monitors your code for known vulnerabilities, CVEs and other risks.

Code

Static code analysis (SAST)

Scans your source code for security risks before an issue can be merged.

Domain

Surface monitoring (DAST)

Dynamically tests your web app’s front-end to find vulnerabilities through simulated attacks.

Cloud

Cloud posture management (CSPM)

Detects cloud infrastructure risks across major cloud providers.

Code

Secret Detection

Checks your code for leaked and exposed API keys, passwords, certificates, encryption keys, etc...

Code & Containers

Open source license scanning

Monitors your licenses for risks such as dual licensing, restrictive terms, bad reputation, etc..

Code

Malware detection in dependencies

Prevents malicious packages from infiltrating your software supply chain.

Code

Infrastructure as code

Scans Terraform, CloudFormation & Kubernetes infrastructure-as-code for misconfigurations.

Code & Containers

Outdated Software

Checks if any frameworks & runtimes you are using are no longer maintained.

Containers

Container image scanning

Scans your container OS for packages with security issues.

Is Aikido's software pentested?

Yes. We run a yearly pentest on our platform and also have an ongoing bug bounty program to ensure our security is continuously tested by a wide range of experts.

Can I also generate an SBOM?

You can create a CycloneDX SBOM or csv export with one click. Just go to the Licenses & SBOM report where you'll get a full overview of all the packages & licenses you're using.

What do you do with my source code?

Aikido does not store your code after analysis has taken place. Some of the analysis jobs such as SAST or Secrets Detection require a git clone operation. More detailed information can be found on docs.aikido.dev.

Do I need to give access to my repos to test out the product?

When you log in with your VCS we don’t get access to any of your repositories. You can manually give access to the repositories you’d like to scan. It’s also possible to test out the platform using sample repositories.

I don’t want to connect my repository. Can I try it with a test account?

Of course! When you sign up with your git, don’t give access to any repo & select the demo repo instead!

Does Aikido make changes to my codebase?

We can’t & won’t, this is guaranteed by read-only access.
