PrivacyReport vs Aikido

PrivacyReport vs Aikido Security: The Hyper-Focused Alternative

Aikido Security has made waves by bundling 9 different open-source scanners into one platform. That gives broad coverage, at the cost of a busier dashboard than a solo builder usually wants. PrivacyReport takes the opposite approach: a small set of checks aimed at the mistakes that most often expose data.

Bundled Scanners vs a Narrow One

When you run a scan on Aikido, it triggers multiple underlying engines (Trivy, Semgrep, Checkov). Running several engines means the same issue can be reported more than once under different names, so you spend some time reconciling overlapping findings. In exchange you get much wider coverage than we offer. PrivacyReport runs a single engine over a much narrower set of checks, so there is less to reconcile — and a lot less covered.

The AI Vibe Coding Threat

Aikido focuses broadly on cloud infrastructure. A growing share of code is now AI-generated and shipped without a close read, which changes the kind of mistakes that show up. PrivacyReport focuses its checks on that pattern: secrets pasted into code and insecure defaults left in place.
