Secure Code Warrior Launches Industry-First AI Traceability to Enable Secure Developers and Supercharge Safe Productivity
New capabilities in SCW Trust Agent provide visibility and control over LLM usage for security leaders and CISOs
SYDNEY, Australia – September 24, 2025 - Secure Code Warrior, the industry leader in Developer Risk Management (DRM), today announced the launch of a beta program for a major expansion of AI capabilities within its Trust Agent product. The new offering is an industry-first, providing CISOs with security traceability, visibility and governance over developers’ use of AI coding tools. This powerful upgrade, collectively referred to as Trust Agent: AI, leverages a unique combination of key signals, including AI coding tool usage, vulnerability data, code commit data and developer secure coding skills, to provide unparalleled visibility into how AI development tools are impacting risk within the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
Security leaders lack visibility into which AI coding tools–not to mention which LLM is powering them–are being used by developers, how much application code is being generated by AI and whether developers have the right skills to identify and remediate vulnerabilities within AI-generated code. In an increasingly fraught digital landscape where LLMs can not just produce insecure code, but also produce biased coding outcomes, trust and traceability of this technology must be a chief priority among CISOs, and Trust Agent: AI provides the deep insights needed to rapidly modernize an AI-augmented security program to withstand existing and emerging threats.
Trust Agent: AI is the first solution of its kind to evaluate the relationship between the developer, the models they use–including the vulnerabilities they introduce–and the actual repository where AI-generated code is being committed. General availability is expected in 2026, but an early access list for the beta program is available today.
“AI allows developers to generate code at a speed we’ve never seen before,” said Pieter Danhieux, Secure Code Warrior Co-Founder & CEO. “However, using the wrong LLM by a security-unaware developer, the 10x increase in code velocity will introduce 10x the amount of vulnerabilities and technical debt. Trust Agent: AI produces the data needed to plug knowledge gaps, filter security-proficient developers to the most sensitive projects, and, importantly, monitor and approve the AI tools they use throughout the day. We’re dedicated to helping organizations prevent uncontrolled use of AI on software and product security.”
With Trust Agent: AI, Secure Code Warrior offers deep observability of AI coding tools and LLMs used across an enterprise’s entire codebase. The solution also offers integrated governance at scale through:
- Identification of unapproved LLMs, including visibility into the actual vulnerabilities LLMs introduce
- Flexible policy controls to log, warn or block pull requests from developers using unsanctioned tools, or developers with insufficient secure coding knowledge
- Output analysis that surveys how much code is AI-generated and where it's located across repositories

Forbes: A New Frontier: NSA Proposes “Security By Design” Considerations For AI Enablement
The cybersecurity industry, which has been advocating for “security by design” principles for more than a decade, stands in wide-eyed amazement at the risks posed by artificial intelligence (AI). As organizations rush to embrace AI enablement, a CISO’s most pressing priority is to avoid becoming a roadblock. However, without effective AI usage and governance, observability and traceability, organizations may be blindsided by their AI risk.
Techpartner.news: Secure Code Warrior introduces framework to govern AI use in software development
Secure Code Warrior has introduced the SCW AI Adoption Model, a framework designed to help organisations govern AI use in software development as the industry shifts from the traditional software development lifecycle (SDLC) toward what the company calls the Agentic Development Lifecycle (ADLC).
DevOps.com: Are LLMs Equally Good (or Bad) at Building Secure Software?
With many software engineering teams moving from AI coding assistants into full agentic AI code generation and increasing the amount of code they produce exponentially, ensuring the security of that code must be a top priority. The study produces practical guidance for organizations that are getting on board the AI-assisted or agentic code development train.
