Question 1

What is the difference between SecObserve and servasec?

Accepted Answer

SecObserve is an open source vulnerability and license management system (BSD 3-Clause) that ingests results from 20+ tested scanners via SARIF, CycloneDX and OCSF parsers. It ships with GitLab CI templates and GitHub Actions, plus license policies, compliance rules and ML-based classification. servasec is an open source ASPM (AGPLv3) that centralizes SAST, SCA, DAST, secrets and IaC findings, prioritizes them with EPSS and asset criticality, and deploys with a single Docker Compose command.

Question 2

Is SecObserve open source?

Accepted Answer

Yes, SecObserve is open source under the BSD 3-Clause license, with a Python/Django backend and a React (React-Admin) frontend. servasec is also open source under AGPLv3.

Question 3

Can servasec replace SecObserve?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your workflow. If you rely on license management, compliance rules, or the GitLab CI and GitHub Actions templating that SecObserve provides, it is the stronger fit. If you want a lightweight ASPM that centralizes scanner findings with EPSS-based prioritization and a simpler deployment, servasec covers that. Evaluate which features you actually use before switching.
