Prashant, you can add IQ scanning in our build pipeline before the artifact is publishe to Nexus Repository. If you’re using Jenkins there’s the Nexus Platform Plugin that can be used for IQ scan and the Repository publishing. Similar solutions exist for other CI or build tools.

The idea of Nexus Repository performing the scanning is interesting. Consdier filing an idea for others to comment and vote on: [http://community.sonatype.com/c/sonatype-Ideas](http://community.sonatype.com/c/sonatype-Ideas)
