Decision guide

When to choose each

Choose Whitespots if…

  • Your team wants to onboard in seconds via webhook — not author pipeline plans.
  • You need a real triage workflow with SLAs and ownership, not just a scan orchestrator.
  • You need custom dedup, validation or CVSS rules that match your risk model.
  • Your data cannot leave your infrastructure — self-hosted is non-negotiable.
  • You want per-organization pricing that does not scale with developer count.

Choose jit.io if…

  • Your org is 100% GitHub and you want PR-native plan-based workflows.
  • You prefer pipeline-as-code and treat security scans as first-class CI jobs.
  • Your team is comfortable authoring and maintaining GitHub Actions plans.
  • You want pre-packaged compliance plans (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI) checked in as code.
  • You want context-aware prioritization that weighs runtime and cloud signals into finding severity.

Migration from jit.io

Typical timeline

No data migration step. Point Whitespots at the same VCS, trackers, registries and cloud accounts; the platform discovers projects and rescans from source within a sprint — no pipeline plans to port.

No state import needed

Whitespots scans the same sources directly, so findings are regenerated from scratch — with your dedup, validation and CVSS rules applied from day one. No stale ignore state to untangle.

Free PoC program

FAQ

Common questions

How is Whitespots different from jit.io?
jit.io orchestrates security scans as GitHub Actions plan files. Whitespots covers the same scanner surface but connects pipelineless via webhook and adds a full vulnerability-management workflow — automatic triage, SLAs, ownership, custom dedup and CVSS rules. jit is great when you want scans to live inside your pipelines. Whitespots is better when you want findings handled end-to-end without pipeline authoring.
Does jit.io offer any self-hosted option?
No. jit.io is SaaS only. Source-code metadata and findings live in jit's infrastructure. For regulated industries (finance, healthcare, government, defense) that need data to stay inside their network, self-hosted is a hard requirement — Whitespots includes it starting at the entry tier.
What does "pipelineless" mean and why does it matter?
Whitespots connects directly to your VCS via webhook — when a push happens, Whitespots pulls the code and runs scans in its own dedicated, scalable environment, outside your build pipelines. That means faster dev feedback, no CI runner minutes spent on security, and development pipelines that never block on scans. Merge safety is preserved by a quality-gate layer that can still block PRs on policy violations — the same safety net without paying for it in pipeline minutes. jit.io runs through GitHub Actions plan files, which are cleaner than raw YAML but still consume runner time and require plan authoring and maintenance.
Can I run Whitespots alongside jit.io during a trial?
Yes. Many teams run both in parallel for 30 days. Whitespots ingests the same scanner output so you can compare triage depth, dedup quality and onboarding time side by side.
Does Whitespots work with GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket?
Yes — unlike jit.io, which is GitHub-centric. Whitespots is VCS-agnostic: webhooks for GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps all work at the same price tier.
What support tier do I get at the listed price?
Onboarding, implementation guidance, developer training and dedicated messenger support are included at the €24,000/yr entry tier (business hours). Teams that need 24/7 response, tighter SLAs or dedicated engineering time pick an upgraded tier — scoped to the actual support need.
