BoostSecurity's Zero Touch Provisioning ensures all scanning happens inside your CI environment. Your source code never leaves your secure environment, maintaining complete control over your intellectual property. How secure is the scanning process itself? ** All scans run within your existing CI infrastructure using your security controls. BoostSecurity doesn't require external access to your code repositories or systems, eliminating potential attack vectors. What data does BoostSecurity collect? ** BoostSecurity only collects security findings and metadata necessary for reporting and dashboard functionality. No source code, business logic, or proprietary information is transmitted or stored externally. Will BoostSecurity slow down our CI/CD pipelines? ** No. BoostSecurity runs scans in the background without blocking your pipeline execution. Your development velocity remains unaffected while security scanning happens continuously. Can different teams have different security requirements? ** Yes. BoostSecurity supports team-level scanner specifications and customizable workflows, allowing different teams to have tailored security processes while maintaining organizational oversight. How do we ensure consistent security standards across teams? ** BoostSecurity allows you to define organizational "secure coding standards" that are automatically monitored and enforced across all teams, ensuring consistency while maintaining flexibility. ** ### No FAQs found Try adjusting your search terms or [clear the search](https://org.boostsecurity.io/appsec-testing#) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "VideoObject", "caption" : { "@type" : "MediaObject", "contentUrl" : "https://org.boostsecurity.io/media-transcripts/190972074108/en.vtt", "inLanguage" : "en", "name" : "en Captions" }, "contentUrl" : "https://stream.mux.com/WinMSozvE35fIuFHu12vfC6asKBX93uDN2ZXrqO9pFI/capped-1080p.mp4", "dateModified" : "2025-06-03T16:42:51.196Z", "description" : "🧪 Effortless & Powerful AppSec Testing with Boost Security\n\nLooking for an application security testing solution that’s fast, flexible, and fully integrated into your dev workflows?
