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.
Reviewed code that defaults a setting to public.
This change adds a sharing setting to new projects and defaults it to public so onboarding feels open. It is clean code.
const project = await projects.create({ name,- visibility: "private",+ visibility: "public",})The code is clean and onboarding is smoother. But defaulting new projects to public is the opposite of data protection by default, which is GDPR Art. 25. heygrc is built to read a change like this against your frameworks and cite the control it touches.
Keep HackerOne Code. Add the compliance layer.
This is not a question of which tool wins. HackerOne Code 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.
