SecPortal vs Aikido Security
delivery workspace vs all-in-one developer-first ASPM
Aikido Security is an all-in-one Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) platform that bundles SAST, SCA, secrets scanning, IaC scanning, container image scanning, DAST, surface monitoring, and cloud posture into one developer-facing console. The buyer assumption is that an AppSec team or a small product organisation wants one vendor for every code-and-cloud scan and a developer-friendly UX that minimises noise. SecPortal is a different shape: scanning, manual finding entry, AI report generation, branded client portal, and the engagement record live inside one workspace. This page is the side-by-side for buyers comparing an all-in-one developer-first ASPM to a delivery workspace that scans, reports, and delivers on its own.

SecPortal vs Aikido Security: delivery workspace vs all-in-one developer-first ASPM
Aikido Security is one of the leading platforms in the all-in-one developer-first Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) category. The platform bundles SAST, SCA, secrets scanning, IaC scanning, container image scanning, DAST, surface monitoring, and cloud posture into one developer-facing console, deduplicates issues across the bundled scanners, and triages everything into a single queue developers can action from inside the product. The buyer assumption is that one bundle replaces a stack of separate AppSec scanner contracts and that a developer-friendly UX reduces triage noise.
SecPortal is a different category. SecPortal is a security delivery workspace that carries the engagement, the findings, the scanning, the AI report, the branded client portal, and the invoice all on one tenant. The buyer is a penetration testing firm, an MSSP, a consultancy, an AppSec team, a vulnerability management team, or an in-house security function that ships work to clients or stakeholders. If you are comparing an all-in-one developer-first ASPM bundle to a delivery workspace that scans, reports, and delivers on its own, this page is the side-by-side. The adjacent comparisons buyers in the ASPM category often evaluate alongside are SecPortal vs ArmorCode, SecPortal vs Cycode, SecPortal vs Phoenix Security, SecPortal vs OX Security and SecPortal vs Snyk.
Where Aikido stops for delivery and engagement work
These are not Aikido-specific criticisms; they are properties of an all-in-one developer-first ASPM bundle when you compare it to running scoped engagements or a scanner-plus-findings programme on a single workspace.
Built as an all-in-one developer-first ASPM, not a delivery workspace
Aikido Security is an Application Security Posture Management platform that bundles SAST, SCA, secrets scanning, IaC scanning, container image scanning, DAST, surface monitoring, and cloud posture into one developer-facing console. The buyer assumption is that an AppSec team or a small product organisation wants one vendor for every code-and-cloud scan and a developer-friendly UX that triages issues into a single queue. SecPortal is the opposite shape: scanning, manual finding entry, AI report generation, branded client portal, and the engagement record live inside one workspace.
No engagement, scope, or deliverable model
Aikido is organised around the connected repository, the application, and the issue queue rather than around a scoped engagement with a kickoff, a defined target list, a final report, and a closure date. If the work you ship is a pentest, a vulnerability assessment, an external attack surface programme, an AppSec code review, or a compliance audit with a contract scope and a deliverable, Aikido does not carry that record.
No branded client portal on your subdomain
Aikido output lives inside the Aikido console. There is no white-label portal a security firm or in-house team can hand to an external client or to a stakeholder business unit under their own brand. SecPortal serves a branded client portal on the tenant subdomain so every finding, retest, remediation thread, and report download lives under your name rather than the vendor name.
No AI-generated executive summaries, technical writeups, or remediation narratives
Aikido produces issue-level dashboards, severity views, and developer-oriented remediation guidance from native scanner output, but it does not draft executive summaries, technical pentest writeups, or narrative remediation roadmaps that go to a board, an auditor, or an external client. SecPortal uses Claude to draft executive, technical, and remediation deliverables from the live findings record so the deliverable goes out without separate writeup time.
Limited record for non-scanner findings, manual reviews, and external work
Aikido is strongest where its native scanners run: connected repositories, IaC manifests, container images, DAST against owned web targets, and cloud accounts. Manual finding entry from a tester, an external pentest report, or a code review is not the primary path through the product. SecPortal supports manual entry from the same finding editor that scanner-derived findings flow into, with CVSS 3.1 vector parsing and 300+ finding templates available for any finding regardless of source.
Bundle pricing tied to repositories, cloud accounts, and seats
Aikido pricing combines a self-service free tier with paid tiers licensed by connected repositories, cloud accounts, and seats. The procurement assumption is that an organisation has a fixed asset count and a fixed team size that maps cleanly to the bundle. SecPortal pricing is published on the website with a free plan, monthly Pro and Team tiers, and no annual contract floor.
How an all-in-one ASPM bundle and a delivery workspace see the same problem differently
All-in-one ASPM is a useful category framing, but the buyer should be clear-eyed about what a developer-first scanner bundle gives you and what it costs. The contrast below is between an ASPM platform that derives value from collapsing many scanners into one console and a delivery workspace that holds the engagement record on the tenant where the operators run.
All-in-one ASPM bundles every code-and-cloud scanner under one console
Aikido and similar developer-first ASPM platforms (Snyk for the developer-tier crowd, Endor Labs for the supply-chain side, Wiz for cloud) start from a developer audience and bundle the scanners that AppSec teams would otherwise license separately: SAST, SCA, secrets, IaC, container image, DAST, and cloud posture. The economic value comes from collapsing six scanner contracts into one bill, one console, and one issue queue. The platform is the bundle that replaces a stack of separate AppSec tools.
A delivery workspace owns the finding record from scan to closure
SecPortal does not assume that a developer-first bundle is the right shape for the work. The workspace runs its own external, authenticated, and code scanning, holds the finding record, supports manual entry from a tester or reviewer, calibrates severity through CVSS 3.1 with environmental adjustment, and ships the deliverable through a branded portal on a tenant subdomain. The same record holds for a scoped pentest, a continuous vulnerability assessment, an AppSec code review, and an external attack surface programme. The finding lives where the work is done, not in a developer console that ends at the issue queue.
The right answer depends on whether you are scanning code or shipping a deliverable
If the AppSec team is small, the asset surface is mostly connected repositories and cloud accounts, and the bottleneck is consolidating SAST, SCA, secrets, IaC, container, and DAST output into one developer-friendly queue, an all-in-one ASPM is the right shape. If the team needs to ship engagement deliverables, hand findings to a client or a stakeholder business unit through a branded portal, generate narrative reports, and hold a scoped engagement record across years, a delivery workspace like SecPortal is the right shape. Both can be true for different teams; one is the right shape for a given buyer at a given time.
Who each platform is the right fit for
Aikido and SecPortal solve different problems for different buyers. The honest answer is that the right tool depends on whether you are bundling code-and-cloud scanners under one developer-friendly console or running scoped engagements and findings on one workspace.
Aikido fits small to mid-size product organisations and developer-led AppSec teams
If you are a startup or mid-size product organisation, the asset surface is a handful of connected repositories and cloud accounts, the buyer is a developer-first AppSec team, and the bottleneck is consolidating SAST, SCA, secrets, IaC, container, DAST, and cloud posture into one console with a developer-friendly UX, Aikido was built for that consolidation shape. The buyer assumption is one bundle that replaces a stack of separate scanner licenses.
SecPortal fits teams who want scanning, findings, reports, and delivery in one workspace
If you are a penetration testing firm, an MSSP, a consultancy, an AppSec team, a vulnerability management team, or an in-house security function that wants the scanner, the finding record, the AI report, the branded portal, and the invoice all on one tenant, SecPortal carries that lifecycle without forcing every finding to come from a developer-first scanner bundle.
SecPortal fits buyers who deliver findings to clients, stakeholders, or auditors
If you ship reports to external clients, business unit owners, or auditors, and every finding, retest, remediation thread, and report download has to live under your brand rather than under a vendor console, SecPortal is the workspace that holds that record. Findings can still be imported from Nessus, Burp Suite, or CSV when scanners outside SecPortal are part of the picture, alongside SecPortal native external, authenticated, and code scanning.

Why teams pick SecPortal over Aikido
- Run scoped engagements with a kickoff, deliverables, retests, and a final invoice on one record instead of an open-ended issue queue across connected repositories and cloud accounts
- Scan internally with 16 external modules, 17 authenticated modules, and SAST plus SCA code scanning rather than relying only on a developer-first scanner bundle
- Generate executive, technical, and remediation deliverables with Claude from the live findings record
- Deliver findings through a branded client portal on your tenant subdomain instead of through a developer console
- Pair every retest to the original finding so the closure record holds up under audit
- Document CVSS, EPSS, KEV, asset tier, and exposure on the engagement record so prioritisation is defensible to a board, an auditor, or an application owner
- Map findings across 21 framework templates including OWASP, OWASP ASVS, OWASP MASVS, OWASP API Security Top 10, ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, FedRAMP, MITRE ATT&CK, DORA, NIS2, CIS Controls, and Essential Eight
- Store privileged scan credentials encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM and rotate them through the in-product credential vault
- Invoice clients or business units directly from the engagement record through Stripe Connect
- Start on the free plan and upgrade without a repository-count audit, a cloud-account audit, or a sales call for the higher tier
