Secure your Code Climate surface
Maintainability and coverage signals that predict where defects — and vulnerabilities — will appear. We don’t connect to Code Climate to collect evidence for its own sake — we connect to secure it, and the compliance artefacts follow from that work.

Where Code Climate goes wrong
Code Climate goes wrong through headline metrics: overall coverage looks healthy while the authentication paths sit untested.
- Repositories with no coverage reporting, hiding untested security-relevant paths
- Quality gates configured but not enforced on merge
- Complexity hotspots concentrated in authentication and authorisation code
- Coverage reported but excluding the files that matter most
- Access tokens with broad repository scope
[02] What We Secure
What we watch, catch and fix on Code Climate
On Code Climate we measure coverage specifically on security-relevant code paths rather than as an aggregate percentage.
- Coverage measured specifically on security-relevant code paths, not as a headline percentage
- Gate enforcement verified at merge
- Complexity tracked in authentication, authorisation, and data handling code, where defects become vulnerabilities
- Coverage exclusions reviewed for what they hide
- Token scope inventoried
[03] Where It Lands
Where Code Climate lands in your registers
Findings become risk register entries mapped to the specific assets they affect, with owners and deadlines driven by exposure rather than by CVSS alone. The asset register supplies the criticality that determines priority. Where a finding cannot be fixed, it becomes an accepted risk with a named owner and a review date, not an item that quietly ages out of a report.
[04] How We Engage
On Code Climate specifically
On Code Climate, we configure gates and surface complexity risk to engineering leads. Refactoring hotspots we scope as a project with your team.
Platform licence
Everything you need to find and fix it yourself, with no ceiling on the depth of the answer.
- Every connected tool monitored for misconfiguration and drift, with findings mapped to the assets and risks they affect
- Remediation guidance that tells you what is wrong and exactly how to fix it — however deep or awkward the issue is. We are engineers running a security company, so the answer is the real one, not a link to vendor documentation
- Assets, access reviews, and risk register populated from the tools themselves rather than from spreadsheets
- Unlimited integrations and unlimited users, with anything missing built within two weeks
Managed service
Every tool you connect through Konfirmity comes under our care, with our team doing the work.
- Continuous misconfiguration and drift monitoring across every connected tool, watched by our analysts rather than by a dashboard waiting for you
- Incident response led by us, with containment coordinated with your team
- Remediation performed directly wherever you have granted us the authority to act — and where we cannot act, we project-manage the fix to completion rather than handing you a ticket
- Decision support on the tools themselves: where something is failing you on capability or costing more than it returns, we will tell you, and help you replace it
[05] Code Climate FAQs
What Code Climate access does Konfirmity need?
Konfirmity needs a read-only API token covering repositories, test reports and maintainability metrics. That covers coverage analysis, gate enforcement and complexity tracking.
Why treat code quality as a security signal?
Because complexity concentrates defects, and defects in authentication, authorisation or data handling become vulnerabilities rather than bugs. Complexity hotspots in those specific areas are a reasonable predictor of where the next security issue appears.
