What is Full Repo Scan?

Diff analysis tells you about today's change. A full scan tells you the state of everything, which is what you need for a security baseline, a compliance report or a first look at an unfamiliar codebase.

Full scans are slower and produce the intimidating initial number, so most teams run them on a schedule and gate on diffs, using the baseline for reporting and the diff for enforcement.

Top 19 Full Repo Scan tools

What to look for

• Scan duration on a repository the size of yours
• Whether a full scan requires CI configuration or runs from the cloud
• How the initial baseline can be accepted so only new issues are actioned
• Any repository size or lines-of-code limits on your plan
