Repository Health
Improve your security posture with full visibility into the security, dependency management, and maintenance health of the code repositories used in your applications.
Reduce Risk by Monitoring the Health of Your Code Repositories
Without repo health monitoring, repositories are at risk of unauthorized code changes, dangerous or low-quality code, regulatory non-compliance, and other security threats.
Continuous Repo Health Tracking
Monitor the health of all repositories included in your applications based on factors such as security practices, testing practices, dependency management, CI/CD practices, and project maintenance.
Automatic SCM-Triggered Scans
Integration with SCM platforms enables scans to run automatically upon repository updates, ensuring up-to-date repo health assessments with no manual effort.
Flexible On-Demand Scanning Options
In addition to automatic SCM-triggered scans, developers and security teams can manually run repo health scans at any time via API, CLI, or the Checkmarx One UI.
Unified Risk Reporting
Repository health evaluations are included in Checkmarx One reports, providing visibility into – and efficient prioritization of – security vulnerabilities, code quality issues, and repository health risks, all in one place.

Learn how you can use repository health scoring to improve your application security posture.
How Enterprises Benefit From Repository Health Monitoring
Continuously tracking repository health helps minimize the threat exposure of vulnerable code repos, leading to improved security and enhanced transparency with stakeholders.
Maximum Software Supply Chain Security
Ongoing comprehensive visibility into the security health of all code repositories closes a critical gap in software supply chain security – ensuring every component of your build pipeline meets your security standards.
Holistic & Efficient Risk Prioritization
Identifying and prioritizing high-risk areas across all aspects of the software supply chain allows developers and security teams to focus their efforts on the most critical security issues first – not just the loudest.
Enhanced Transparency & Communication
Unified assessments of the security posture of code repositories improves transparency, communication, and collaboration among security teams, developers, and business stakeholders – with one shared source of truth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Modern code repositories store application source code, CI/CD configurations, IaC files and other sensitive data. Software supply chain attacks are rising steeply; poorly managed internal code repos are a weak point in an organization’s software supply chain security posture. Because large enterprises typically maintain thousands of repos, it is impossible to manually track how well each of them is configured, maintained, and secured. An automated solution is needed to continuously determine the security and code-quality health of internal code repos.
Frequent scans on a regular basis (weekly or monthly) are recommended to continuously monitor repositories for emerging risks. In addition, it is considered a best practice to re-scan a repository any time it is updated, preferably through SCM integration and automation.
Checkmarx’ Repository Health helps you maximize the security posture of your applications by automatically and continuously tracking the security and quality practices applied to your code repositories. Each repo is evaluated on its security policies and best practices, including:
- Code review before merge
- Branch protection
- Pinned dependencies
- Dependencies actively maintained
- Presence of executable (binary) artifacts
- Fuzzing required
- Presence of a detailed security policy
- CI pipeline tests
- Dangerous GitHub Action workflows
- Signed releases
- Secure packaging
OSSF Scorecard is an open-source project created by the Open-Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) that assesses code repositories for security risks through a series of automated checks. Checkmarx One incorporates the results of OSSF Scorecard evaluations in its reports so that developers and security teams can improve their visibility into security vulnerabilities, code quality issues, repository maintenance standards, and other repository health risks.
