CodeAnt

CodeAnt AI is an AI reviewer that combines code review with security scanning across pull requests.

heygrc

heygrc reviews each pull request against the compliance frameworks your company must meet (ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, and more) and cites the specific control a change touches. It is built for compliance, not code quality.

Where they do not overlap

Clean code that silences an incident signal.

This change removes an alert on repeated failed logins because it pages too often. The lockout still happens, so the behavior is unchanged for users.

auth/login.ts+0 −1

if (failures > THRESHOLD) {-  await alerts.notifySecurity("auth.bruteforce", { ip })  await lockAccount(userId)}

heygrcNIS 2 Art. 21

Removing the security alert means a brute-force pattern no longer reaches anyone, and incident detection and handling sits within the NIS 2 Art. 21 measures. heygrc is built to read a change like this against your frameworks and cite the control it weakens.

Use them together

Keep CodeAnt. Add the compliance layer.

This is not a question of which tool wins. CodeAnt catches the bugs and quality problems heygrc never looks for, and heygrc catches the compliance issues a code review is not built to see. Running both means a pull request is checked for whether the code is good and for whether the change is compliant, two different kinds of risk, on the same diff.

heygrc does not replace your code review, and it does not certify you. It reviews changes against your frameworks and cites the control, so the compliance question is answered where the change is made. heygrc is in early access.
