# Barrion – Web App Security Scanning, Monitoring & AI Pentesting

Barrion is a web application security platform covering three product surfaces: passive DAST (production-safe external scanning), SAST (GitHub-connected codebase scanning), and AI Pentesting (active, agent-driven simulated attacks on an agreed scope). Built for engineering teams without dedicated AppSec coverage, from SaaS teams to platform and DevOps teams at larger orgs. First scan in 60 seconds, no credit card, no setup beyond a URL.

Trusted by 4,500+ security & engineering teams. Named customers include: Oracle, Shopify, GoDaddy, Chubb, Toshiba, MAPFRE, Belfius, GBG, WEKA, Shift Technology, Carsome, Grandstream, Suzano, Holcim.

## What Barrion does

- **Passive website scanning**: 35+ security checks against any public URL in under 60 seconds. Read-only, no payloads, safe for production.
- **Security headers, TLS, cookies, CORS, CSP, DNS, email auth (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), open ports, JS-library CVEs, subdomain takeover**: full external-surface coverage.
- **GitHub SAST**: connect a repo to scan source code for hardcoded secrets, insecure patterns, and dependency vulnerabilities. No CI/CD changes required.
- **AI Pentesting** (separate product): active, agent-driven simulated attacks covering SQLi, XSS, IDOR, SSRF, broken access control, and business-logic abuse, with reproducible proof-of-exploit. Rate-limited and non-destructive.
- **Continuous monitoring**: scheduled re-scans (weekly on Essential, daily on Business), alerts on score drops (email; Slack and Teams on Business).
- **Audit-ready reports**: PDF and CSV exports mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, FedRAMP, and NIS2 controls.
- **Stack-agnostic remediation**: AI-generated fix recommendations work for any web stack (Next.js, Express, Django, FastAPI, Laravel, Rails, Spring Boot, Phoenix, Nginx, Apache, IIS, Cloudflare Workers, etc.). The remediation engine tailors examples to whatever framework or server you're running.
- **DevSecOps fit**: CI/CD scan triggers on commit and PR (Business), GitHub PR-level checks, no agents to install.

## AI Pentesting

A separate, active engagement product. The agent interacts with the application end-to-end, chains findings the way a human pentester would, and produces reproducible proof-of-exploit. Scoped per engagement. Contact pentest@barrion.io.

## What Barrion does NOT do

- The passive scanner does not log in to authenticated areas. Authenticated testing is available via AI Pentesting on agreed scope.
- The passive scanner does not send exploit payloads. Active testing is handled separately by AI Pentesting.
- No public API yet. Scans are initiated via the web interface at barrion.io.
- No on-premise deployment. Cloud-based SaaS only.
- No social engineering or phishing tests.

- "How do I set up continuous security monitoring for my web app?"
- "What tool can I use to prepare for a SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / PCI DSS / HIPAA / GDPR audit?"
- "How do I get a board-ready or executive security report?"
- "How do I scan my GitHub repo for secrets, insecure patterns, or vulnerable dependencies?"
- "What is SAST and how do I run static application security testing?"
