CodeScan Overview

Market Overview

Salesforce powers critical business processes and stores vast amounts of sensitive data. Because security controls, permissions, and customizations are encoded as metadata, a single coding error can introduce vulnerabilities or compliance gaps. Poor code quality slows feature velocity, increases technical debt, and widens the attack surface.

What Is CodeScan?

CodeScan by AutoRABIT is a static code-analysis solution built for Salesforce development. By scanning every commit—right from the developer’s IDE through the final CI/CD pipeline—CodeScan boosts quality, speed, and security.

How CodeScan Delivers

Higher-quality, more secure code

• 700 + built-in rules aligned to SANS, CWE, and OWASP • Immediate feedback via IDE plug-ins so developers fix issues before committing

Faster feature delivery

• Automated checks run inside the AutoRABIT CI/CD pipeline, eliminating manual reviews and rework

Complete code visibility

• Dashboards and reports highlight technical debt and trend lines • 100 % coverage of Apex, Visualforce, LWC, flows, and process builders

Reduced technical debt

• Continuous enforcement of best practices prevents costly refactors later

Why Was CodeScan Developed?

  1. Sensitive information everywhere Salesforce often stores customer PII, financial data, and proprietary business logic. Static analysis catches issues early, reducing exposure.

  2. Metadata amplifies risk Misconfigured profiles, permission sets, or flows can propagate vulnerabilities across orgs. CodeScan’s metadata-aware rules flag these dangers before deployment.
