Description

InsurStaq is a private AI security engineer for your Mac. Point it at a repo: it maps routes and auth, finds injection, exposed secrets (Git history too), vulnerable dependencies and IaC risks, and traces attack paths from the internet to the exact line. InsurStaq's own security model, fine-tuned for security work, explains findings and drafts fixes you approve, each re-scanned on your Mac. Readiness evidence for SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS and OWASP ASVS. Your code never leaves the machine.

Could you build this?

No Building an offline static code and security analysis engine with AST-level call-graph mapping, taint tracking, and a fine-tuned private security model requires deep compiler and AppSec expertise beyond conversational AI coding.

What it would actually take: A production implementation requires a local engine parsing multi-language ASTs (e.g., via Tree-sitter), generating control-flow and data-flow graphs to trace taint/injection paths, alongside custom rule sets (Semgrep-style) and an embedded quantized LLM (via llama.cpp/Ollama) fine-tuned on vulnerability datasets. Integrating Git history scanning (like Gitleaks) and IaC graph analysis natively in a native macOS client requires deep systems and security engineering.
