Software Composition Analysis (SCA)

Ditch SCA, Fix Instead

Traditional SCA tools flood teams with alerts they can’t fix. Heeler flips the model by automatically resolving the majority of open-source vulnerabilities and helping teams focus only on what truly requires human attention.
Introducing

Stop Managing Vulnerabilities. Start Fixing Them.

Deterministic Upgrade Intelligence

Heeler replaces the prioritization-first model with a deterministic, fix-first approach that safely upgrades dependencies, eliminates noise, and scales remediation across your organization.
Breaking Change Detection
Deep dependency analysis predicts downstream effects so teams understand upgrade impact before code changes are made.
Safest Upgrade Path
Recommends the lowest-risk upgrade that solves the most vulnerabilities for each vulnerable dependency based on your environment.
Complete Dependency Visibility
Heeler builds a full dependency graph across direct, transitive, bundled, and first-party libraries to understand how software actually runs.

Automated Remediation That Developers Trust

Heeler turns deterministic analysis into validated pull requests that integrate directly into developer workflows.
Fixability Analysis First
Only vulnerabilities proven to be safely remediable are eligible for automation.
Validated Pull Requests
Every PR is tested through compilation checks, CI checks, and validation workflows before developers review and merge.
Traceable Remediation Workflow
Remediation tickets link findings, upgrade paths, and PRs together for full auditability.

Noise Reduction Through Context

Heeler eliminates the alert overload that makes traditional SCA programs unmanageable.
Unified Remediation Tickets
Related vulnerabilities are grouped into a single remediation ticket instead of scattered alerts.
Clear Ownership and Impact
Issues are mapped back to the correct repositories, projects, services, and teams.
Risk Based on Exploitability
Heeler analyzes runtime context, including exposure, reachability, and service relationships, to identify which vulnerabilities represent real business risk.

Security Teams Are Drowning in Alerts They Can’t Fix

Traditional SCA tools generate vulnerability lists without understanding upgrade feasibility, code impact, or runtime risk—leaving developers with work they often cannot safely complete.

Alert Overload Without Context

Most SCA tools detect vulnerabilities but cannot determine whether a remediation is realistic or safe. Teams receive thousands of alerts without understanding which upgrades will work or how much effort they require.

Prioritization Only Approaches Create Permanent Backlogs

Security programs spend more time ranking vulnerabilities than fixing them. Because teams lack insight into remediation complexity, prioritization becomes guesswork and technical debt grows over time.

Blind Automation Breaks Developer Trust

Many tools generate automated PRs that blindly bump versions. Without validating compatibility or dependency interactions, these upgrades frequently break builds and are ignored by developers.
Benefits

Turn Open Source Security Into an Automated, Scalable System

Massive Backlog Reduction

Heeler automatically resolves the majority of fixable vulnerabilities through safe, validated upgrades. This allows security teams to eliminate years of accumulated dependency debt in days instead of quarters.

High-Confidence Remediation

Every remediation is backed by deterministic analysis and validated through build checks before reaching developers. Teams gain confidence that upgrades will work before they merge them.

Continuous Dependency Hygiene

Heeler prevents new security debt from forming. Agent Skills, CLI and policy enforcement at the pull request level stop risky dependencies from entering the codebase while allowing developers to maintain velocity.
