Who should use the IaC Scanning workflow?
Teams or solo builders working on security & privacy tasks who want a repeatable process instead of one-off tool experiments.
AI Workflow · Security & Privacy
Practical execution plan for iac scanning with clear steps, mapped tools, and delivery-focused outcomes.
Deliverable outcome
A finalized document output is ready for publishing, handoff, or integration.
30-90 minutes
Includes setup plus initial result generation
Free to start
You can swap tools by pricing and policy requirements
A finalized document output is ready for publishing, handoff, or integration.
Use each step output as the input for the next stage
Step map
Instead of relying on a single generic AI model, this pipeline connects specialized tools to maximize quality. First, you'll use Red Canary to inputs, context, and settings are ready so the workflow can move into execution without blockers. Then, you pass the output to Aqua Security to a first-pass document output is generated and ready for refinement in the next steps. Finally, Specterr is used to a finalized document output is ready for publishing, handoff, or integration.
Vulnerability Scanning
Inputs, context, and settings are ready so the workflow can move into execution without blockers.
IaC Scanning
A first-pass document output is generated and ready for refinement in the next steps.
Scan for vulnerabilities
A finalized document output is ready for publishing, handoff, or integration.
Prepare inputs and settings through Vulnerability Scanning before running iac scanning.
Vulnerability Scanning sets up the foundation for iac scanning; clean inputs here reduce downstream rework.
Inputs, context, and settings are ready so the workflow can move into execution without blockers.
Execute iac scanning with IaC Scanning to produce the primary document output.
This is the core step where iac scanning actually happens, so it determines baseline quality for everything after it.
A first-pass document output is generated and ready for refinement in the next steps.
Package and ship the output through Scan for vulnerabilities so iac scanning reaches end users.
Scan for vulnerabilities is what turns intermediate output into a usable, publishable result for real users.
A finalized document output is ready for publishing, handoff, or integration.

§ Before you start
Teams or solo builders working on security & privacy tasks who want a repeatable process instead of one-off tool experiments.
No. Start with the top pick for each step, then replace tools only if they do not fit your pricing, compliance, or output needs.
Open the mapped task page and compare top options side by side. Prioritize output quality, integration fit, and predictable cost before scaling.
