heygrc and Qodo

Different jobs, same pull request.

Qodo does AI code review and test generation, both aimed at whether the code is correct. heygrc asks whether the change is compliant: which control in your frameworks it touches, cited by clause. A change can be well-tested code and still move a compliance control.

Qodo

Qodo (formerly CodiumAI) is an AI platform for code review and test generation. It reviews pull requests and helps teams generate and maintain tests.

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

Tested code that removes an audit trail.

This change removes an audit-log call on a permission change to cut log noise. The function still works, and a test would still pass.

auth/roles.ts+0 −1

export async function grantRole(userId: string, role: Role) {  await roles.assign(userId, role)-  await audit.log("role.granted", { userId, role })}

heygrcSOC 2 CC7.2

Removing the audit entry means a privileged change now happens with no record, and monitoring of security-relevant events is a SOC 2 CC7.2 expectation. heygrc is built to notice when a change removes the evidence a control depends on.

Use them together

Keep Qodo. Add the compliance layer.

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

Questions

heygrc and Qodo, common questions.

Is heygrc an alternative to Qodo?

Not exactly. Qodo reviews your code; heygrc reviews each change for compliance against the frameworks your company must meet (ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, and more) and cites the specific control it touches. They answer different questions about the same pull request, so heygrc is designed to run alongside it, not replace it.

Can I use heygrc and Qodo together?

Yes. They look at different kinds of risk on the same diff: Qodo on the code, heygrc on the compliance control a change touches. heygrc does not replace your code review.

What does heygrc check on a pull request?

heygrc reviews each pull request against the frameworks your company selected and cites the specific control a change touches, so the compliance question is answered in code review. heygrc does not certify you and is in early access.
