Different jobs, same pull request.

Panto AI reviews a change for code and security issues. heygrc reads the same change for the compliance control it touches. A change can be clean code and still make it impossible to tell who accessed protected health information.

Panto AI

Panto AI is an AI code reviewer that reviews pull requests and bundles security scanning across code, secrets, and dependencies.

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 hides who accessed health data.

This change switches a service that reads patient records from per-user database credentials to a single shared service account, to simplify connection pooling. It works.

db/connection.ts+1 −1

const db = createPool({-  user: currentUser.dbRole,+  user: "shared_service_account",  database: "ehr",})

heygrcHIPAA 164.312(a)(2)(i)

The pool works and the code is simpler. But routing every access through one shared account means access to electronic protected health information can no longer be traced to an individual, which is the unique user identification requirement in HIPAA 164.312(a)(2)(i). heygrc is built to read a change like this against your frameworks and cite the control it touches.

Use them together

Keep Panto AI. Add the compliance layer.

This is not a question of which tool wins. Panto AI 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.
