Dokima vs periodic security assessments

# A good assessment goes deep. Dokima helps you keep reviewing between them.

Specialist assessments bring expert judgment, conversation and a deliberately scoped point-in-time view. Dokima gives the engineering team a repeatable source-review process as the codebase continues to change.

Where it works well

## Periodic security assessments has a useful job to do.

* Bringing experienced human judgment to a defined business problem.
* Reviewing wider organisational, deployment and process context.
* Testing assumptions through direct discussion with the team.
* Providing independent assurance at an important point in time.

Where Dokima differs

## Context and review, not just another pass.

* 01Dokima can be run repeatedly without booking a new engagement.
* 02Its codebase context and finding state stay with the workspace.
* 03Engineering teams can schedule architecture, hunting and finding-review work themselves.
* 04The scope is defensive source review; Dokima does not claim to replace broader assurance.

Who Dokima suits

## Teams that need credible source review more often than they can commission a specialist assessment.

Use them together

## Use Dokima between assessments, prepare better context for the specialist and keep reviewing the code after the point-in-time report.
