We're building the security layer
every startup deserves
CodeSec is an AI-native security scanning platform built for founders who ship fast. We make professional-grade vulnerability detection accessible to teams of any size — from solo founders to growing startups — without the complexity or cost of traditional enterprise security tools.
Why we built CodeSec
Every founder knows the feeling: you've just shipped a new feature, your users are happy, and then you get a security report from a researcher pointing out a critical vulnerability you never knew existed. Or worse — you read about another startup that got breached and wonder if you have the same issues.
Traditional security tools are built for enterprise security teams with dedicated budgets and months to configure. Penetration testing firms charge tens of thousands of dollars for a single audit. Open-source scanners require deep technical knowledge to run, interpret, and act on.
We built CodeSec to fill that gap. A founder should be able to scan their entire stack — website, API, Supabase project, GitHub repos, AI workflows — in minutes, get plain-English vulnerability reports, and know exactly what to fix and why. Security shouldn't be a luxury that only well-funded startups can afford.
We started building CodeSec in 2024 after experiencing this exact problem with our own projects. We've been founders ourselves, and we know that security often gets deprioritized not because founders don't care, but because the tools are too hard, too expensive, or too slow.
Our mission
Make enterprise-grade security scanning accessible to every startup, so founders can ship fast without gambling on their users' trust.
What we believe
We use CodeSec to scan CodeSec. Every feature we ship, we dogfood ourselves.
We build for speed. No enterprise BS, no bloated onboarding, no sales calls required.
We collect only what we need, never sell your data, and give you full control over deletion.
Our security practices, sub-processors, and compliance posture are published and kept current.
Company milestones
2024
Founded after experiencing firsthand how hard it is for a solo founder to run a proper security audit on their SaaS.
2025
Launched private beta with GitHub Scanner, Website Security, and API Scanning. First paying customers.
2026
Added Supabase Security Checker, CVE Dependency Scanner, and AI Workflow Security scanning. Opened to the public.
Meet the Founder
Altaf Pasha
Founder & Chief Architect
Altaf is a cybersecurity researcher and software engineer with over a decade of experience designing secure systems. Prior to founding CodeSec in 2024, he worked as a security consultant helping startups audit their cloud environments and patch critical application vulnerabilities.
He built CodeSec out of frustration with existing security tools, which were either too expensive for early-stage companies or too complex to run continuously in a modern CI/CD pipeline.
What CodeSec scans
CodeSec covers the full surface area of a modern startup's stack. Our AI-powered scanners detect real vulnerabilities — not just theoretical risks — and provide actionable remediation guidance in plain English.
- Website Security — OWASP Top 10, security headers, SSL/TLS configuration, exposed credentials
- API Security — authentication weaknesses, injection flaws, rate limiting gaps, exposed endpoints
- Supabase Security — row-level security policies, auth configuration, database exposure, CORS settings
- GitHub Secret Scanner — hardcoded credentials, API keys, tokens, and sensitive strings in source code
- CVE Dependency Scanner — known vulnerabilities in your npm, pip, and other package dependencies
- AI Workflow Security — prompt injection risks, LLM security misconfigurations, agent permission issues
