The short answer
Use the free checks built into your stack first: your builder's security scan (such as Lovable's) and Supabase's Security Advisor. Add a security scanner like Vibe App Scanner for deeper security testing, and SafeLaunch to check the law: privacy, cookies, AI disclosure, accessibility and consumer rules in every market, with fixes as prompts for your builder.
Key takeaways
- Security and legal compliance are different questions. Security scanners don't check privacy notices, cookie consent or AI disclosure; legal checkers vary in how deep they go on security.
- Start free: Lovable's built-in security scan and Supabase's Security Advisor both catch open database tables.
- Policy generators like LexVibe write documents; they don't check what the app does.
- SafeLaunch covers security plus the law in one report and writes fixes for Lovable, Cursor, Claude Code, Bolt, v0, Replit and Windsurf.
- Done-for-you services like Launch Ready Code suit teams that want engineers to make the changes.

Who wrote this, and how we compared
We compared tools on whether they read your code, which laws they cover, whether findings cite the law and whether they give fixes. Two free checks that sit inside tools you already use come first.
02
Free checks you already have
- Your builder's security scan. Lovable's built-in scan checks database rules, dependencies and code security before you publish. Compared with SafeLaunch.
- Supabase Security Advisor. In the Supabase dashboard, it flags issues such as tables without row-level security. See our Supabase RLS guide.
- Your package manager's audit. Running your package manager's audit command lists dependencies with known vulnerabilities.
