SafeDep Platform
SafeDep Platform helps teams control open-source dependency risks from installation through pull requests and inventory.
What SafeDep Platform is
SafeDep Platform helps teams control open-source dependency risks from installation through pull requests and inventory. Its package monitor checks installs against threat intelligence and policy before post-install scripts can run. The platform scans dependencies, analyzes actual usage, applies policy as code, and generates software bills of materials. A GitHub App scans pull requests for malware, vulnerabilities, and license issues, and can act as a required check. Its MCP server checks packages requested by AI agents and attributes requests to those agents; named support includes Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf. Inventory can cover coding agents, MCP servers, CLI tools, skills, scope, and version. Supported ecosystems include npm, PyPI, Maven, Go, Ruby, Rust, PHP, Docker, and OCI images, plus CycloneDX and SPDX SBOMs, GitHub repositories, and GitLab projects. Centralized policies, organization-wide findings, audit trails, and compliance reports are also provided. The Free plan includes up to three SDLC endpoints, seven-day findings history, and community support. Team costs $100 a month for five endpoints; Enterprise pricing is custom. A 30-day trial requires no credit card and moves to Free when it ends.
