StepSecurity vs Wisec

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.

Wisec collects, signs, and preserves software build evidence for teams preparing for Cyber Resilience Act readiness. It links builds in a signed chain using Ed25519, SLSA provenance, and public Sigstore/Rekor timestamping. It generates signed CycloneDX SBOMs and VEX documents describing the exploitability status of detected CVEs. Eleven anomaly rules run on each build, covering project history and known-bad patterns. Teams can set CI gate policies to block or warn on secrets, vulnerable dependencies, unapproved contributors, risk thresholds, and CVE severity. Wisec supports GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and Azure DevOps, and imports SARIF v2.1.0 findings from tools such as CodeQL, Semgrep, Snyk, and Trivy. It maps evidence to NIS2, SOC2, ISO 27001, and CRA and exports PDF reports; CRA and ISO 27001 mapping is not a conformity claim. The maker says data is encrypted in transit and at rest, hosted in France, and kept within the EU. Plans include Free at free, Business at €990 a year, and Pro at €2,990 a year.
