// COMPARE · HAND-ROLLED CI GATE SCRIPTS
Aggregating SARIF into a release verdict: NeoShield vs hand-rolled CI scripts
You want one clear pass/fail release decision from multiple security scanners.
Most teams gate releases with custom scripts that parse each scanner's output and hard-code thresholds — brittle, per-pipeline, and hard to explain. NeoShield's DevSecOps tool normalizes SARIF, scanner JSON, and summaries into one model, runs explainable policy gates (secrets, critical, high, SCA, IaC, license), and returns a single GO / CONDITIONAL / NO-GO verdict with the exact reason for each gate.
Feature comparison
| Capability | NeoShield DevSecOps Automation | Hand-rolled CI gate scripts |
|---|---|---|
| Normalizes SARIF + scanner JSON + summaries | ✓ Yes | Per-tool code |
| Explainable per-gate pass/warn/fail | ✓ Yes | If you build it |
| Single aggregated release verdict | ✓ Yes | Manual logic |
| Tunable thresholds without code changes | ✓ Yes | — No |
| Consistent across pipelines | ✓ Yes | Copy-paste |
When NeoShield is the better fit
- You run several scanners and want one explainable verdict.
- You want to tune policy without rewriting pipeline scripts.
The verdict
Custom scripts work until they don't. NeoShield gives you one explainable, tunable release verdict across all your scanners.
