How to evaluate Kics in a security program
Use Kics as a stack candidate, not as diligence evidence. The oneNorma score for Kics is 4.3/10 (percentile 21). If the real gap is in IaC, a dashboard does not replace a pentest or a control mapped to Law 21.663 or ISO 27001. Compare this profile with what kics.io publishes. Contrast it with pentesting and Security Cloud & Compliance.
