Q1: What exactly is Red Hawk SCA?

An internal Red Hawk tool for software composition analysis (SCA) —it scans codebases, identifies vulnerabilities, and creates automated work items for remediation.

Q2: Is Red Hawk SCA available to clients?

Yes—Red Hawk SCA is currently available as part of select Red Hawk service engagements. Today, it is used to automate documentation, maintain the software bill of materials, scan for security vulnerabilities and trigger AI agentic workflows to remediate source code. Broader packaging and standalone offerings are still evolving, but the underlying capability is already delivering value within active client environments.

Q3: Does Red Hawk SCA scan custom code?

Yes. Red Hawk SCA can scan custom code, including code we didn’t develop. However, it focuses strictly on identifying common vulnerabilities and exposures—it does not evaluate code quality or how the code was written.

Q4: Can these AI-First gains apply to client projects?

Yes. The same SDLC approach we used on Red Hawk SCA is already accelerating delivery and clarity on client engagements.

Q5: How often should we scan our application?

Monthly is common. Higher-risk or mission-critical applications may benefit from continuous or automated scanning.
