Creating a unified template / profile for security issue detection across multiple programming lang

We have been utilizing SonarQube Enterprise edition version 10.1 to enhance code quality and security across various projects. Given the diverse range of programming languages used in our projects, we are exploring the possibility of creating a single, unified template that can detect security issues across different programming languages.

Could you please provide insights into the following:

• Is it feasible to create a single template or set of rules that can be applied globally across multiple programming languages supported by SonarQube?
• What level of customization is required to achieve this, and are there any best practices you recommend?
• Does SonarQube offer any existing features, plugins, or guidelines that facilitate this multi-language security issue detection?

A unified template would help us in streamlining our security testing processes and ensure consistent application of security best practices across all projects. Your expertise and guidance on this matter would be immensely appreciated.

Thank you for your time and assistance in advance. We look forward to your response.

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

It sounds like you’re looking for a low-effort default. That’s the “Sonar way” profiles, which are already the defaults for each language.

Multi-language analysis is the default behavior. I think all you need to do here is start analyzing.

 
HTH,
