Conftest vs Gomboc AI Code Security Platform

Conftest is a free utility for testing structured configuration data, designed for use in CI environments. It uses the Open Policy Agent Rego language to express policies, then evaluates deny, violation, and warning rules within namespaces. Configuration can be read from individual files, directories, multiple files, or standard input. Supported inputs include Kubernetes-style YAML, JSON, HCL and HCL2, Dockerfiles, Terraform-related data, JSONnet, TOML, and XML. Results can be output as plaintext, JSON, TAP, table, JUnit, GitHub, Azure DevOps, or SARIF; the GitHub outputter can annotate test results in workflows. The `conftest verify` command runs policy unit tests. Policies can be pulled from HTTPS URLs, Git repositories, and OCI registries, or pushed to compatible OCI registries. Plugins extend the CLI, with downloads available from sources including OCI, Git, HTTP/HTTPS, Mercurial, and cloud storage. Pre-commit hooks support policy workflows, and integrations are documented for CircleCI, GitHub Actions, and Tekton. Conftest is available for Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Gomboc AI Code Security Platform analyzes infrastructure-as-code and opens deterministic fixes as pull requests for review and merging. It covers Terraform, CloudFormation and Pulumi, plus more than 35 languages and other cloud-configuration formats. Its ORL execution engine follows predictable, controllable and explainable remediation paths. Gomboc says production-ready fixes are generated in under one second and that its process is 15–20x faster than KICS, Trivy and Checkov. The platform supports GitOps workflows across IDEs, version-control systems and CI/CD pipelines, with integrations for GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps. Built-in practices include CIS, NIST and cloud-provider baselines; Enterprise customers can define custom policies and frameworks such as SOC 2 and HIPAA. The free Community Edition includes unlimited scans and security fixes, GitHub pull-request remediations, default policy-as-code, basic reporting and community support. Enterprise adds CI/CD integrations, API access, SSO/SAML, advanced reporting and enterprise support.
