Kosli vs StepSecurity

Kosli is a change-recording and compliance-monitoring platform for tracking software and business-process changes. It centralizes attestations, software bills of materials, scans, and build metadata, then links that evidence to a real-time production view. Cryptographic provenance and fingerprints create a tamper-evident chain from commit to production. Policy-as-code controls, automated evidence collection, and notifications address deviations, while runtime monitoring can identify artifacts with unknown provenance and provide time-machine forensics for environment changes. Kosli lists integrations including GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, CircleCI, Jenkins, Microsoft Azure, TeamCity, Terraform, Ansible, Datadog, New Relic, Jira, ServiceNow, Slack, and Email. It supports SaaS, single-tenant AWS hosting, and on-premises Enterprise deployment. The platform runs through API, Linux, macOS, self-hosted, web, and Windows. Pricing is available on request.

StepSecurity is a software supply chain security platform spanning developer environments, code repositories, and CI/CD pipelines. Harden-Runner uses eBPF to monitor network calls, file writes, and process executions, then relates activity to workflow steps. Dev Machine Guard inventories AI coding agents, MCP servers, IDE extensions, and local packages on developer machines. Secure Registry provides package cooldowns, blocks compromised versions, and offers typosquat protection and blocklists. Code Repo Security screens pull requests and can open remediation pull requests according to policies. Security alerts can go to email, Slack, or Microsoft Teams. Dev Machine Guard can be deployed without an agent through Intune, SCCM, or Jamf on macOS, Windows, and Linux. The Community plan is free for unlimited public repositories and lists GitHub-hosted runners on GitHub Cloud; private repositories are included in the 14-day trial. Dev Machine Guard costs $8 a month per device, while Enterprise costs $16 a month per contributing developer. The Trust Center lists SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001:2022 compliance.
