What is Scheduled / Continuous Rescan?
Re-analysing code on a schedule even when nothing has changed, to catch newly published vulnerabilities.
Your dependencies do not have to change for your risk to change. A package that was clean at merge time becomes vulnerable the moment an advisory is published, and commit-triggered scanning alone will never notice.
Continuous rescanning closes that gap. For a service that is stable and rarely deployed, often the ones running the most critical workloads, it is the only mechanism that will ever surface a new CVE.
Top 19 Scheduled / Continuous Rescan tools
Every tool in the directory documented as supporting Scheduled / Continuous Rescan, 12 fully, 7 partially, with what its own documentation says.
Support is not the same as parity, since some implementations are narrower in scope, gated to a higher plan tier, or maintained only for existing customers. The note under each tool is what its own documentation describes.
- 1
Daily proactive SCA and malicious-package re-scans without new commits; Business plan only.
- 2
Continuous monitoring of cloud infra, container registries and deployed front-ends
- 3
Managed Claude Security continuously monitors repositories on a schedule; cron runs also possible via GitHub Actions.
- 4CodeAnt AIPR Review
Scan Center supports real-time and scheduled scanning; continuous cloud environment monitoring
- 5
Weekly recurring Dependencies, SBOM, Secrets scans; requires Security trial or paid add-on
- 6
Dashboard analyses run on a schedule; the CLI supports batch analysis of repositories.
- 7CorgeaCode Security Platform
Scheduled re-scan cadences available; enabled at plan level rather than self-serve
- 8GitHub Advanced SecurityCode Security PlatformFree (Dependabot); add-on: Code Security for private CodeQL
Default setup picks scan-triggering events, tool status page shows next scan time, Dependabot schedules configurable
- 9
Default branch re-analyzed every 24 hours by default, frequency configurable, plus manual builds
- 10SemgrepCode Security Platform
Scheduled full scans in CI; Managed Scans default to weekly full scans plus diff-aware scans per PR.
- 11SnykCode Security Platform
Recurring tests never/daily/weekly (default daily Open Source, weekly IaC); scheduled container registry sync.
- 12
Policies enforce scan cadences - quarterly, semi-annual or annual - so repeat scans run on schedule.
- 13
Codex Security cloud scans connected repos commit by commit; no cron scheduling documented.
- 14
Scans fire on push and pull/merge-request webhooks, plus Risk Recalculation; no scheduled or cron rescan documented.
- 15
Vulnerability Scanner runs cron-based recurring scans of the codebase at rest; beta, Team/Enterprise
- 16
Newly published CVEs affecting existing dependencies trigger automatic notifications; no scheduled full rescan.
- 17
run-gemini-cli GitHub Action workflows support cron schedules; no native scheduled security/code rescan.
- 18
Rule Miner re-runs every two weeks and PR history is re-analyzed; no scheduled code rescan
- 19
Automatic Analysis re-runs on repository changes for GitHub and Azure DevOps; no scheduled rescan documented.
What to look for
- Rescan frequency, and whether it is configurable
- How alerts are routed when nobody is actively working on the repository
- Whether rescanning covers deployed artefacts as well as source
- Which plan tier includes it, since this is frequently gated
