Getting started
Welcome to the documentation for HCL AppScan on Cloud, where you can find information about how to install, maintain, and use this service.
Navigation
This section describes the items on the main AppScan on Cloud menu bar, with links to more detailed information.
Administration
Define users, applications, policies, and configure DevOps integrations.
Dynamic analysis
AppScan on Cloud performs security scans for web-applications for production, staging and development environments. For development environments it is aided by Private Site Scanning technology to scan applications not accessible to the open Internet.
Interactive monitoring
Using an agent installed on your application, ASoC identifies security vulnerabilities in your application during runtime by monitoring all interactions, both legitimate and malicious. The process is "passive," in the sense that IAST does not send its own tests, and can therefore run indefinitely.
Software Composition Analysis
Use Software Composition Analysis (SCA) to scan for security vulnerabilities in open source and third-party packages used by your code. SCA includes Intelligent Finding Analytics (IFA) and Intelligent Code Analytics (ICA).

- About static analysis (SAST)
- System requirements for static analysis
  Supported operating systems and the types of files, locations, and projects that can be scanned by ASoC when you perform static analysis.
- Scanning for security vulnerabilities
  To scan source code for security vulnerabilities, follow the steps in these topics.
- Sample apps and scripts
  Use these sample applications to practice scanning with ASoC.
- Static analysis troubleshooting
  If you experience problems with static analysis, you can perform these troubleshooting tasks to determine the corrective action to take.
  - Errors or warnings occur when generating a static analysis IRX file
  - .NET scan results show the assembly file instead of the source file
    When the .pdb file is in the wrong format, .NET scan results can show the assembly file instead of the source file.
  - Static analysis of ASP.NET site fails due to problems with precompilation
  - Static analysis Failed to create application 'Default' error
  - Security scan fails with Application with id x does not exist error
  - IRX file is too large to analyze
  - IRX upload fails due to mismatched encryption

Results
The Scans and Sessions page lists the scans under the categories DAST, SAST, SCA, and IAST, where you can view your scan results, including scan statistics.

AppScan Model Context Protocol (MCP) server
The AppScan MCP server integrates HCL AppScan on Cloud directly with AI-powered development environments and agents. By implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP), this server allows LLMs (such as Claude or models running in VS Code) to securely access your security data—including SAST, DAST, SCA, and IAST results—to help you triage issues, analyze findings, and automate workflows using natural language.
