Decision guide

When to choose each

Choose Whitespots if…

  • You need a real triage workflow — not just aggregated findings.
  • Host scanning is part of your security posture, not just cloud and code.
  • You need custom dedup, validation or CVSS rules that match your risk model.
  • You're in a regulated industry and self-hosted must be included, not bolted on.
  • You want predictable per-organization pricing that does not scale with headcount.

Choose ox.security if…

  • You're fully cloud-native and your data can live in a SaaS ASPM.
  • CSPM is your primary use case and you want a category leader.
  • Software supply chain security (SBOM, SCA, pipeline posture) is a top priority.
  • You want attack-path analysis connecting code, pipeline and cloud findings.
  • You prefer a fully managed SaaS vendor and self-hosting is not a requirement.

Migration from ox.security

Typical timeline

No data migration step. Point Whitespots at the same VCS, trackers, registries and cloud accounts; the platform rediscovers projects and rescans from source within a sprint.

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 triage state to untangle.

FAQ

Common questions

How is Whitespots different from ox.security?
ox.security aggregates scanner output and correlates findings. Whitespots does the same and adds a full vulnerability-management workflow — triage queues, SLAs, ownership assignment, custom rule engine, host scans, and pipelineless integration. Where ox.security stops at "here are your findings", Whitespots continues with "here is how your team resolves them".
Why is ox.security's self-hosted option so much more expensive?
ox.security is built as a SaaS-first platform. Self-hosted is sold as a separate add-on — typically quoted around $40,000/yr on top of the per-developer licensing. Whitespots is architected for self-hosting from day one, so it is included starting at the €24,000/yr entry tier.
Can I run Whitespots alongside ox.security during a trial?
Yes. Many teams run both in parallel for 30 days. Whitespots ingests the same scanner output in parallel so you can compare dedup, suppression and workflow quality side by side.
Does Whitespots cover host scanning?
Yes. Host scans (VMs, bare metal, edge devices) are covered via ready-to-use configurations in the low-code CI/CD layer — both agent-based and agentless. This is a capability ox.security does not offer at all.
What support tier do I get at the listed price?
Entry-tier €24,000/yr includes onboarding, implementation guidance, developer training and a dedicated messenger channel during business hours. Higher tiers bring extended hours, response SLAs and dedicated engineering time — available as needed rather than as a fixed premium.
How does Whitespots pricing compare to per-developer pricing as we grow?
Pricing starts at €24,000/year for the entry tier and scales with the support level you need — higher tiers add extended support hours, SLAs and dedicated engineering time. All tiers are priced per organization, not per developer. Per-developer pricing on ox.security compounds as your engineering org grows — at 100 developers the annual gap is already ~$70k+ before the $40k self-hosted add-on, and crosses six figures beyond ~130 developers.
