Your DevSecOps Pipeline Has a Data Problem
Unify red team, blue team, and AppSec in one platform
DevSecOps promised security at the speed of development. Instead, most teams got more scanners, more dashboards, and more noise. DefectDojo is the open-source unified vulnerability management platform that makes DevSecOps actually work: every security finding from every tool, in one system of action, triaged automatically.
Your DevSecOps Pipeline Has a Data Problem
You shifted security left. Then every tool you added created its own silo.
More Tools, More Noise
You did everything right. SAST in the pipeline. DAST against staging. SCA on every dependency. Container scanning, secrets detection, pen tests, red team exercises. Then every one of those tools produced its own findings, in its own format, in its own dashboard.
Teams That Can't See Each Other
Your blue team can't see what the red team found. AppSec engineers spend their days copying findings between tools instead of fixing them. Developers get tickets with no context and no priority. Purple team exercises produce reports that never make it into anyone's workflow.
Security Becomes the Bottleneck Again
Manual triage, duplicate findings, and disconnected dashboards slow releases down, which is exactly what DevSecOps was supposed to prevent. The scanners aren't the problem. The silos between them are.
One Platform for Your Entire Security Stack
Aggregate Findings From 500+ Security Tools
DefectDojo parses output from more than 500 security tools, covering SAST, DAST, SCA, container scanning, cloud security, infrastructure scanning, and manual pen test results. If a tool produces a report, DefectDojo can ingest it. DefectDojo Pro users can also map any JSON, CSV, or XML report with the Universal Parser, so internal tools and unsupported formats have a path into the platform too.
- Import findings via UI, REST API, or CI/CD pipeline integrations
- Normalize severity, status, and metadata across every scanner
- Keep a complete, auditable history of every finding over time
Deduplicate and Prioritize Automatically
Multiple scanners finding the same vulnerability should produce one finding, not five. DefectDojo deduplicates findings from consecutive scans of the same tool by default, and supports cross-tool deduplication to collapse overlapping results from different scanners into a single record.
- Automated deduplication with configurable hash-based and unique-ID algorithms
- Enrichment and prioritization so teams work on the most critical vulnerabilities first
- Triage automation that cuts manual review time and keeps queues focused on actionable risk
Automate Your AppSec Program
Security automation is only as good as the data underneath it. With every finding in one place, DefectDojo becomes the engine for your vulnerability management workflows. Push findings to Jira and notify teams through the tools they already use
- Enforce remediation SLAs by severity, with breach tracking and alerting
- Run imports on a schedule from your CI/CD pipelines so vulnerability data is always current
Report on Security Posture and Compliance
Executives want risk trends. Auditors want evidence. Engineers want their queue. DefectDojo serves all three from the same data. Report on security posture across teams, assets, and business units Support compliance and audit readiness across frameworks including SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and the EU Cyber Resilience Act Track remediation performance and SLA adherence over time
Built by Practitioners, Proven at Scale
DefectDojo started in the OWASP community and remains open source under an OSI license. It runs everywhere your DevSecOps program does.
Born from OWASP
Built by security engineers who lived these workflows. The Community Edition is free forever, with full source available.
500+ Tool Integrations
Every scanner in your stack, plus the Generic Findings Import and Universal Parser for anything custom or internal.
97% Average MTTR Reduction
Automation that measurably accelerates remediation, from first finding to verified fix.
Deploy Anywhere
Cloud, on-premises, or air-gapped with DefectDojo Pro. Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm supported. SSO (SAML 2.0, OIDC, LDAP), granular RBAC, and full audit logging keep the enterprise checklist covered.
How DevSecOps Works in DefectDojo
Aggregate
Parse findings from 500+ security tools via CI/CD pipeline integration, REST API, or Connectors. If a tool produces output, Dojo can ingest it.
Distill
Intelligent deduplication merges the same vulnerability reported by multiple scanners across multiple scans, cutting finding volume so your team triages real issues, not repeats.
Enrich
Threat intelligence enrichment adds EPSS exploitation probability and CISA KEV status to every matching finding, refreshed daily and blended into a computed priority score.
Remediate
Push prioritized findings to Jira, GitHub Issues, and other trackers. Enforce SLAs by severity. Report on security posture and compliance across SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and the EU Cyber Resilience Act.
Frequently asked questions
What is DevSecOps?
DevSecOps integrates security practices into every phase of the software development lifecycle, making security a shared responsibility across development, security, and operations teams rather than a final gate before release. It relies on automation, including security scanning in CI/CD pipelines, to keep security moving at the speed of delivery.
How does DefectDojo fit into a DevSecOps pipeline?
DefectDojo is the aggregation and automation layer of a DevSecOps program. Scanners in your pipeline push reports to DefectDojo's REST API, and the platform deduplicates, enriches, and prioritizes the findings, then routes them to trackers like Jira and GitHub Issues for remediation.
What is the difference between red team, blue team, and purple team?
A red team simulates attackers to find weaknesses. A blue team defends, monitoring and responding to threats. A purple team is the collaborative practice of combining both, using red team findings to strengthen blue team defenses. DefectDojo gives all three a shared system of action for findings and remediation.
Does DefectDojo support both automated scanner findings and manual pen test results?
Yes. DefectDojo ingests output from 500+ automated security tools and also supports manually entered findings from pen tests and red team engagements, with the same triage, tracking, and reporting workflows applied to both.
Is DefectDojo free for DevSecOps teams?
The Community Edition is free forever under an OSI license. DefectDojo Pro adds cross-tool deduplication, EPSS and CISA KEV threat intelligence, the Rules Engine, SLA enforcement, SSO, and dedicated support, deployed in the cloud, on-premises, or air-gapped.
