SAST setup that your devs won't turn off.

What to text
You don't need the perfect explanation — just the basics.
Hey PJ - want SAST in our pipeline. Stack/language is [X], CI is [GitHub Actions / GitLab / Jenkins]. Can I send the details?
What you get
- Tool selection by stack — the right SAST for your languages, CI, and budget — Semgrep, Snyk, Checkmarx, SonarQube — not the loudest vendor
- CI/CD integration — wired into GitHub Actions / GitLab / Jenkins so it runs on every PR without breaking builds
- False-positive tuning — rule sets tuned to your code so devs trust it and keep it on (the #1 reason SAST fails)
- Audit-evidence wiring — the findings + remediation feed your SOC 2 / NIST secure-SDLC controls
- The human layer — SideGuy owns the setup + triage; you own a tool that actually works
$100/hr · no retainer
SAST selection + CI wiring + initial tuning is usually a few days · vs an enterprise AppSec retainer — pay for the setup that makes it stick.
The tool is easy. Making devs keep it on is the job.
Any team can bolt on a SAST scanner — it fails because of noise, and devs disable it within a week. SideGuy tunes it to your code and gates only on real findings, so it survives contact with your pipeline. Operator-honest, hourly, yours to keep.
