Code review. Checked against your standard.
Reviews code changes against your security and compliance standards before merge, flagging violations cited to the specific rule — secrets, dependency risk, and policy exceptions caught before they ship. Built for engineering teams merging dozens of pull requests a day.
15 cited fields per review. Built on Sphere AI Foundry.

Manual compliance review doesn't scale with merge velocity
A single pull request means a reviewer checking for hardcoded secrets, risky dependencies, and policy exceptions on top of the actual code review — easy to skip under deadline pressure, and easy to miss without tooling. At low volume that's manageable. Across dozens of pull requests a day, it's the reason a known-vulnerable dependency or a logging change that leaks PII slips through to production.

Pull request in, cited finding out
Four steps, every one logged and citable back to your policy.
01
Ingest
Reads the pull request directly from your systems
Diff, commit history, and changed dependencies — read from your source control platform. No separate upload step.
Source document
PR #4471 — payments-service, 340 lines changed
02
Match against your standard
Every change checked against your standard
Secrets, dependency risk, and compliance policy (PII handling, logging rules, licensing) — each checked against your documented standard, not a generic linter.
Example query
"Does this dependency have a known CVE at the version being introduced?"
03
Cite every flag
No flag without a citation
Each flag links back to the exact policy rule or CVE it violates — the citation travels with the finding, not as a separate lookup.
Cited finding
New package introduces a dependency with a known high-severity CVE at the pinned version.
cited to Dependency Policy §2, CVE-2026-xxxxx04
Classify & route
One disposition, one consolidated finding list
The agent returns Clear to Merge, Clear-with-flags, or Blocked, with a consolidated finding list routed to the reviewer before merge.

Typical inputs
What the agent reads, and what it connects to.
Documents
- Security and compliance policy documentation
- Dependency and license allowlist/denylist
- Prior review findings on the same repository
Systems
- Source control platform (GitHub, GitLab, etc.)
- CI/CD pipeline
- Dependency vulnerability database
Is this the right fit?
Built for merge velocity — not a one-off review.
✓ Works best for
- Engineering teams merging 20+ pull requests a day
- Organizations standardizing security review against a documented policy
- Security wanting every flag traceable to a specific rule
Too small for
- A single small PR a reviewer can check faster than configuring the policy
- Replacing a security engineer's judgment on a novel vulnerability class
- Repositories with no documented security or compliance policy to check against
Grounded in your policy, not a black box
Compliance-first, the same standard every Sphere agent is held to.
The agent checks only against your documented security and compliance policy — it flags rather than blocks silently, and every review sits between pull request and merge, never past it. A reviewer confirms every Blocked or Clear-with-flags disposition before merge.
Findings reference the specific policy rule or CVE directly — the same audit-trail standard every Sphere agent on the Foundry is held to.
Prerequisites policy documented
Your security and compliance policy must be documented before the agent will review with confidence.
Human review required
A reviewer confirms every Blocked or Clear-with-flags disposition before merge — never fully autonomous.
Source grounding rule-cited
Findings reference the specific policy rule or CVE directly in every review.

Frequently asked
Does the Code Compliance & Security Review Agent replace a code reviewer?
No. It checks security and compliance rules alongside the human review — a reviewer still evaluates logic and confirms the disposition before merge.
What does it check for?
Hardcoded secrets, dependency CVEs, PII/logging policy, and licensing out of the box. Additional rules can be added during onboarding.
How does it integrate with our source control platform?
It reads directly from your source control platform and CI/CD pipeline — no separate upload step required. Integration scope is confirmed during deployment planning.
Is every flag traceable to a specific rule?
Yes. Every flag cites the specific policy rule or CVE it came from — there is no flag without a citation back to the source.
How is this different from a generic linter or SAST tool?
It checks against your own documented policy with citations, not generic best-practice rules disconnected from your actual standard. It runs on Sphere AI Foundry, so the access controls and audit trail configured here carry forward to other agents you deploy.
