Korbit

Korbit AI is an AI code reviewer that flags issues on pull requests and explains them to help developers learn.

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 grants more access than intended.

This change widens an IAM policy from one bucket to everything, probably to make a failing deploy pass. It is valid, and it works.

infra/iam.tf+1 −1

resource "aws_iam_policy" "uploads" {-  resources = ["arn:aws:s3:::customer-uploads/*"]+  resources = ["*"]}

heygrcNIST 800-53 AC-6

Granting access to every resource instead of the one bucket abandons least privilege, which is NIST 800-53 AC-6. heygrc is built to read a policy change like this against your framework and cite the control it touches.

Use them together

Keep Korbit. Add the compliance layer.

This is not a question of which tool wins. Korbit 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.
