About Heeler

Rebuilding AppSec for the AI SDLC.

AI writes code faster than any team can review it. Heeler is the Agentic Development Security Platform — preventing risk, fixing what's already there, and operating the response across the software lifecycle at machine speed, without slowing developers down.

Our mission

Outpace the attackers. Don't slow the developers.

Heeler automates safe remediation, enforces intelligent guardrails, and fixes the backlog — sequencing the most dangerous work first, all from a single shared context engine.

Make the hard thing feel simple.

AppSec is complex. The experience shouldn't be. We work to remove unnecessary steps for customers, teammates, and partners so attention stays on the problem that matters.

Adapt as fast as the threat model changes.

AI-driven development keeps changing how software is written and attacked. We build, learn, and adjust quickly enough to stay useful as that environment moves.

Start with the customer's real problem.

We begin with the risk, workflow, or operational constraint a customer is trying to change — then build the shortest path to a measurable outcome.

Our story

How we got here.

We spent years on the front lines of application security, watching the gap between security and development widen — AppSec teams overwhelmed, developers racing to ship.

In June 2023, four co-founders launched Heeler to close that gap — security built into how software is actually made. Then AI changed everything: code began shipping faster than any team could review it. Our answer was the Context Engine: one graph that unifies six dimensions of context — code, cloud, business, ownership, threat, and agent — so every prioritization, guardrail, and fix reads from the same shared model, not its own silo. That's how we make security automated, scalable, and fast enough to keep pace with AI-driven development.
