AI Coding Tools Generate 10x More Security Problems Than Traditional Methods

A new study by Apiiro found that developers using AI-assisted coding tools are generating ten times more security problems than those who rely solely on traditional methods. AI tools have reduced syntax errors by 76% and logic bugs by 60%, but increased the risk of complex architectural flaws, including privilege escalation issues and design problems. The speed and convenience of AI may be accelerating the accumulation of security risks that human oversight cannot safely manage.

TAC Security, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, has announced the launch of Socify.ai, a next-generation SOC 2 AI-powered compliance automation platform. This platform aims to simplify, accelerate, and modernize the audit readiness process, addressing the complexities and high costs traditionally associated with SOC 2 compliance.

Socify.ai supports both SOC 2 Type I (point-in-time) and Type II (annual recertification) assessments, providing organizations with continuous compliance assurance. Unlike existing platforms, Socify is built with a security-first architecture and a uniquely audit-centric design, offering features such as Audit Vault, flexible evidence collection, built-in policies and procedures, cloud-native depth, Socify AI, and a Learning Engine.

Key differentiators include:
- Audit Vault: Enables auditors to directly mark controls pass/fail, shortening review cycles by up to 40%.
- Flexible Evidence Collection: Supports both automated and manual inputs across multiple sources, ensuring no control gaps.
- Built-In Policies & Procedures: 40+ ready-to-use policy templates reduce reliance on external consultants.
- Cloud-Native Depth: 135+ automated compliance checks across AWS, GCP, and Azure mapped directly to SOC 2 controls.
- Socify AI: Offers searchable compliance intelligence, contextual assistance, remediation guidance, and step-by-step fixes.
- Learning Engine: Continuously refines recommendations based on historical remediation patterns and auditor feedback, improving accuracy and efficiency over time.

TAC Security's plan starts from $2,700 annually, including CPA Certification, at minimum half the cost of other players in the market. This delivers equivalent readiness automation at a fraction of the cost, while offering scalability across multiple frameworks, continuous readiness through always-on monitoring, and improved accuracy by eliminating manual errors in evidence collection.

The global compliance automation market is estimated to be worth $4.2 billion in 2024, with SOC 2-related solutions representing a rapidly expanding segment. Approximately 30 percent of the market consists of organizations seeking SOC 2 readiness, spanning small startups undergoing first-time audits to large enterprises managing multiple frameworks.

Socify.ai supports the entire SOC 2 lifecycle, including policies and procedures aligned to SOC 2 principles, automated and manual control monitoring, real-time compliance dashboards, centralized evidence collection, streamlined auditor interaction through the Audit Vault, and instant remediation guidance through its AI Assistant.

The launch aligns with TAC Security's broader mission to become the world's largest vulnerability management company. By unifying security and compliance automation into a single platform, Socify reduces the risk of last-minute audit failures and equips executives with real-time visibility into compliance status.

TAC Security serves 6,000+ clients across 100 countries, ranking as the 5th largest Vulnerability Management company in the world. The company is recognized for its commitment to security excellence, holding CREST and ISO 27001 certifications and collaborating with leading technology partners on ADA's CASA.
