ArmorCode Rapid Onboarding: Visibility to Insights—Without the Wait

Rapid onboarding in ArmorCode enables organizations to realize the full value of our Platform quickly by addressing the critical need for speed, even for the most complex environments.

At ArmorCode, we build solutions engineered to solve real customer challenges. We constantly engage with our customers and the broader security community to understand the challenges and pains they experience firsthand. 

As a result of these direct engagements, we identified a clear pattern and a common problem. Seasoned AppSec and vulnerability management professionals, as well as newcomers, highlighted that while the value of ASPM is undeniable, unifying fragmented data and managing complexity can be overwhelming.

That’s because organizations struggle with scattered data across numerous tools, making integration time-consuming and complex. Even experienced users familiar with these hurdles from past roles have patiently endured intricate setups because they understand the payoff. Yet, as ASPM adoption broadens, more first-time buyers are entering the space and need a more approachable, guided path to get started. Recognizing this, we engineered ArmorCode rapid onboarding: a streamlined, guided workflow designed to deliver actionable security insights in minutes, not months, regardless of your team’s prior expertise.

Key Challenges Organizations Face

Before diving into the details of ArmorCode rapid onboarding, let’s explore the common hurdles organizations encounter while realizing the full value of ASPM:

• Delayed time to value: Many organizations find that ASPM implementations take weeks, sometimes even months, before they start seeing any meaningful value. The slow time to onboard hinders security improvements and delays the return on investment.
• Complexity and fragmented data: Security teams operate across disparate tools and siloed data sources. Information such as security findings, asset information, and business context is often scattered across security tools, code repositories, CMDB solutions, spreadsheets, and other systems. Bringing this data together cohesively, along with vital business context, often siloed outside security scanners, is a complex task.
• Shortage of security expertise: The cybersecurity industry faces a shortage of 4.8 million professionals. Since ASPM is a relatively new domain, many organizations lack the in-house expertise needed for optimal configuration and management.

While most customers understand the ultimate value ASPM provides in reducing risk, these factors have created friction. We realized a new approach was needed to simplify and accelerate the initial onboarding, especially as ASPM adoption widens.

Introducing ArmorCode Rapid Onboarding

ArmorCode’s rapid onboarding feature eliminates these pain points by making ASPM implementation faster, easier, and more effective. It simplifies and accelerates the ASPM onboarding process, enabling you to quickly connect to multiple security tools and gain immediate visibility into your security posture. The rapid onboarding provides a guided, self-paced workflow that seamlessly integrates data sources, enhances visibility, and accelerates security improvements.

Additionally, rapid onboarding doesn’t just stop at visibility—it also helps organizations bring business context from different source tools. This additional context enables security teams to answer critical business questions, such as:

• Which business unit has the biggest backlog of security issues?
• Which teams need additional training based on recurring security findings?
• Are all repositories being scanned in a timely manner?
• What mitigating controls can be put in place for applications that must go live despite vulnerabilities?

While many ASPM solutions provide visibility, ArmorCode offers contextualized insights. This enables organizations to prioritize risks, streamline remediation, and improve reporting and communication.

Our Approach to Building Customer-Centric Innovation

We took the feedback from customers and the security community directly to our product and engineering teams. The mandate was clear: design an onboarding experience that was intuitive, automated, and genuinely transformative, not just a superficial “functionality wrapper” to cut through the inherent complexity.

• Focused impact: We concentrated on streamlining the initial AppSec data integration and setup within ASPM, ensuring we added clear value without disrupting established workflows for existing users.
• Intuitive design: A primary engineering challenge was the UI/UX. Our design principle was “start simple, grow flexible“. We created an interactive, guided workflow that requires minimal initial decisions but allows users to easily revisit and refine configurations later. This caters to varied skill levels and complex environments.
• Smart automation: Automation was essential. We leveraged existing platform capabilities to automate data ingestion and normalization through no-code workflows, making the process transparent, customizable, and highly efficient at handling distributed data.

Key Benefits of Rapid Onboarding

ArmorCode rapid onboarding isn’t just about faster setup; it’s about enabling effective security management sooner by taming the complexity. Early adopters familiar with past struggles immediately recognized the transformation. Now, as ASPM reaches a broader audience, rapid onboarding serves as the crucial bridge, providing a familiar starting point for newcomers while offering the depth needed as their requirements evolve. 

Here are some key benefits ArmorCode rapid onboarding delivers:

1. Simplifying Complexity – A Guided, Self-Paced Experience

Security posture management doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Rapid onboarding offers an interactive guided workflow that walks teams through the entire process step by step. Users can work at their own pace, skip certain steps if needed, and pick up where they left off. The configuration choices are also not permanent; users can easily modify them as needed.

2. Higher-Quality Insights – Unified Data for Better Decisions

Rapid onboarding pulls security data from repositories, security tools, ServiceNow, CMDBs, and other enterprise sources. By overcoming data fragmentation, complexity and centralizing this information, organizations gain a clearer and more comprehensive view of their security landscape, enabling better-informed security decisions. Crucially, it integrates vital business context, providing a richer, more comprehensive view for better-informed prioritization and decision-making.

3. Reduce Time-to-Value: From Weeks/Months to Minutes

By directly tackling deployment delays with ArmorCode rapid onboarding, teams can start extracting security insights within minutes. Automated data ingestion and a streamlined, guided setup ensure that security posture improvements begin almost immediately.
