Vulnerability and dependency security
heyGRC and Snyk
Snyk is a security tool: it is built to find known vulnerabilities in your dependencies, containers, and code, and to help you fix them. heygrc is a compliance tool: it reviews a change against the frameworks your company must meet and names the control it touches. Security scanning and compliance review are different jobs, so the two run in parallel.
What Snyk focuses on
- Finding known vulnerabilities in dependencies and container images.
- Suggesting fixes and upgrade paths for what it surfaces.
- Security scanning across the parts of your stack it covers.
What heygrc adds alongside it
- Whether a change touches a specific framework control, cited at the clause, so it is checkable against your audit scope.ISO 27001 A.8.15 in code→
- The compliance reading of a change that is secure as code but still weakens a control (for example a removed audit log or a widened access grant).SOC 2 CC6.1 in code→
- A mapping from the change to the framework you report on, expressed as the specific control it touches.
Use them together
Let Snyk find the known vulnerabilities; let heygrc tell you when a change touches a compliance control.
