Dovetail's engineering team ships fast, serving customers who put them through months-long security reviews before signing on and retesting them regularly.

Before Dam Secure, Claude Code Security was the main PR reviewer. Did the job, basic, but very expensive.

Engineers found Claude Code Security useful but with noisy findings, poor security descriptions and needing heavy manual triage.

Dovetail brought Dam Secure onto every pull request alongside Claude Code Security, running the two directly against the same workload before making the switch.

Dam Secure's PR scanning plugged straight into their existing GitHub flow, so nothing changed for developers day to day.

‍

When the team asked for findings to route straight into Linear, Dam Secure built it - tickets now get created automatically and sync two-way with the Dam Secure portal. The security team now have a trackable list of issues they couldn't get from Claude Code Security.

Engineers noticed the difference immediately: findings are higher-quality and less noisy than the Claude reviews they were used to.

Dovetail has switched from Claude Code Security to Dam Secure for PR scanning outright, at a fraction of the cost. Soon after rollout, Dam Secure caught a critical vulnerability in a long-standing feature.

Doug Rathbone summed up simply: it "paid for itself." and "nice to have a product that does what it says it will do".
