Dradis

Overview

Dradis covers assessment work from kickoff and collaboration through reporting and workflow automation. Structured data, templates, and automation support consistent deliverables, and PR-style review gives colleagues a way to catch errors before they reach a report. These features matter most when several people contribute to an engagement; teams seeking only a testing tool may not need this broader workflow layer.

Risk calculators include CVSSv4, DREAD, and MITRE ATT&CK, while supported methodologies include OWASP, PTES, OSCP, HIPAA, PCI, and custom approaches. The 47+ scanner, ticketing, and SSO integrations include Nessus, Burp Suite, Nmap, Qualys, Jira, and Okta. A REST API, webhooks, and rules engine provide further ways to connect tools and automate processes.

Dradis is self-hosted, can run without an internet connection, and its maker says it cannot access customer data. The Dradis VM is full-disk encrypted, traffic uses TLS, and sensitive application data such as OAuth tokens is encrypted with AES-256-GCM. That deployment model suits teams with tight data-control requirements, though it also means choosing and managing a self-hosted setup.

Key features

Reporting and quality review

Structured findings and templates help teams keep reports consistent across assessments. PR-style review adds a useful checkpoint for catching mistakes before publication, especially where deliverables pass between contributors.

Assessment workflow and integrations

The breadth of scanner, ticketing, and SSO integrations can reduce manual handoffs, while the API, webhooks, and rules engine make Dradis more adaptable to established processes. Assess includes 47+ integrations; Remediate adds Jira, Azure DevOps, and ServiceNow ticketing integrations alongside remediation tracking.

Testing and finding management

Dradis supports web app testing, network testing, finding management, and evidence capture. Its value is in organizing and reporting assessment work rather than being just a scanner.

Pricing

Community Edition is free forever and open source, with one project at a time and community forum support. It is a sensible starting point for an individual or small team evaluating the workflow, but the single-project cap makes it restrictive for concurrent engagements.

Assess costs $3,600/yr, billed yearly in advance, and starts at three seats at $1,200 per seat/year. It includes unlimited projects, 47+ integrations, and email and live chat support. This is the fit for teams delivering findings without needing Dradis' remediation tracking; the minimum commitment is $3,600 per year even if a team needs fewer than three seats.

Remediate costs $7,200/yr, billed yearly in advance, and starts at three seats at $2,400 per seat/year. It includes Assess features plus remediation tracking and Azure DevOps, Jira, and ServiceNow integrations. Internal security teams responsible for following fixes are the clearest fit, but the higher per-seat cost is hard to justify if reporting is the main need.

Enterprise has custom pricing, a five-seat minimum, Remediate features, audit logging, identity integrations, and priority support. It is aimed at larger teams needing those additional controls. Every paid plan includes a 30-day money-back guarantee; paid plans also include email and live chat support. Community Edition users can ask questions on the forum.

Platforms

Dradis supports API, Linux, macOS, self-hosted, web, and Windows environments. Its self-hosted, offline-capable approach is useful where assessment data must stay within a controlled environment.

Who it's for

Assess is designed for teams that deliver findings; Remediate is for internal security teams that also track fixes. Dradis is a stronger fit for organizations that need reviewable reports and connected workflows than for a solo practitioner, since every paid seat belongs to one person and paid plans start at three seats.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Structured reporting and PR-style review support consistent deliverables and catch errors before publication.
• Pros: More than 47 integrations, plus an API, webhooks, and rules engine, give teams several ways to connect assessment work to existing tools.
• Pros: Self-hosting and offline operation suit teams that need direct control over assessment data.
• Cons: Paid plans require at least three individual seats, making the entry cost substantial for a small team or solo user.
• Cons: Community Edition handles only one project at a time, limiting its usefulness for teams running concurrent engagements.
• Cons: Remediation tracking is reserved for the higher-priced Remediate plan, so teams that need fix tracking must step up from Assess.
