The platform is designed for seamless integration with GitHub, allowing development teams to receive actionable insights directly within their pull request workflows. DryRun Security serves a diverse clientele, including application security professionals, software developers, and security leaders across various industries, effectively addressing the challenges posed by rapid code deployment cycles in North America and Europe. 

DryRun Security operates on a subscription-based model, where clients pay for access to its application security platform tailored to their specific needs. The revenue structure typically involves tiered pricing plans based on the number of users or repositories, allowing organizations of various sizes to access the service. Transactions are facilitated through direct partnerships with clients, focusing on enterprise-level engagements that emphasize long-term collaboration and support. The integration with platforms like GitHub enhances the appeal of DryRun Security's offerings, allowing clients to embed security practices within their existing development frameworks, thus driving value through streamlined operations and compliance. The service provides clear, easy-to-understand guidance to developers while reducing false positives, contributing to a more efficient and effective security posture for organizations. 

In January 2025, DryRun Security Co. raised USD 8.7 mn in Seed funding co-led by LiveOak Venture Partners and Work-Bench, with participation from Cannage Capital.
