Claude Code Security

Claude Code Is Secure. Is What You’re Building With It?

Other tools catch CVEs and flag insecure dependencies. But they can’t tell you whether your application is actually secure for what it’s supposed to do. Trent gives you contextual security assessments, specific to your application and unique security requirements, directly inside Claude Code.

The Gap Between “No Known Vulnerabilities” and “Secure by Design”

Developers building with Claude Code want to move fast without leaving their coding environment. Low-level scanners are already helping catching CVEs, flagging insecure dependencies, spotting known code patterns. But that’s not the same as understanding whether your entire application is actually secure, providing a prioritized mitigation plan, and continuously monitoring your security posture against your unique security requirements.

How Trent Works in Claude Code

Security Assessments That Understand Your Application, Not Just Your Code.

Through an MCP connection, Trent’s security agents analyze your codebase in context: not just what the code does, but what the application is, how it’s architected, and where the real security threats live. They assess those threats against your application’s specific risk profile, distinguishing between low-level code findings and the security requirements that actually matter for your application.

Trent’s agents scan your unique application context (i.e. codebase, design docs, product definitions) and identify security threats relevant to your application’s architecture and business context.

They assess those threats against your application’s specific risk profile, distinguishing between low-level code findings and the security requirements that actually matter for your product.

Trent builds a prioritized remediation plan with concrete mitigations. These feed directly into Claude Code’s plan, so the fixes become tasks that Claude Code implements alongside your developer.

As you build, Trent continuously tracks how your application’s security posture evolves, so each coding session leaves the project more secure than the last. You can also investigate how changes on just design documents will impact your security posture, so you start securing your application even before the first line of code is written.

Getting Started

Set Up Once. Security Runs Continuously.

Connects to Your Stack

Security Becomes Part of How You Build, Not Something You Check After.

As your codebase evolves, Trent continuously re-assesses. New features and changes don’t introduce new threats.

FAQs

Tools like Semgrep or SonarQube are already helping with low-level vulnerability scanning: catching CVEs, flagging insecure dependencies, spotting known code patterns. But that’s not the same as understanding whether your entire application is actually secure and what needs to be done to make it secure. Trent assesses your application’s architecture in context of your business requirements.
