| content.faq | `[{"answer":"Checkmarx integrates static analysis (SAST), dynamic analysis (DAST), dependency scanning (SCA), and specialized AI-based analysis to detect vulnerabilities across code, dependencies, and AI components. It prioritizes findings by exploitability and reachability while embedding directly into development tools and CI/CD pipelines. It is indexed under DevSecOps Tools.","source":"https://checkmarx.com","question":"What is Checkmarx?","confidence":0.6},{"answer":"Checkmarx does not publish its prices. Pricing is quoted on request, across 3 plans (Essentials, Professional and Enterprise), so the figure depends on your seat count and requirements. We record this as a pricing-transparency signal rather than guessing a number. Pricing changes often, so verify at source before relying on it.","source":"https://checkmarx.com","question":"How much does Checkmarx cost?","confidence":0.6},{"answer":"We have confirmed browser-based access to Checkmarx. That is the extent of what we could verify from public sources, so it may well offer desktop or mobile clients we have not indexed.","source":"https://checkmarx.com","question":"What platforms does Checkmarx support?","confidence":0.6},{"answer":"We have only confirmed a cloud / SaaS deployment for Checkmarx, so it appears to be vendor-hosted. If a self-hosted option exists we have not found it documented publicly.","source":"https://checkmarx.com","question":"Can Checkmarx be self-hosted?","confidence":0.6},{"answer":"We have independently confirmed SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR for Checkmarx. Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as Checkmarx not holding them. Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.","source":"https://checkmarx.com/blog/security-in-vibe-coding/","question":"What security certifications does Checkmarx have?","confidence":0.7},{"answer":"Checkmarx is available in Australia, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Israel, India, Portugal and Singapore.
