Product Description

GuardRails empowers developers to find, fix, and prevent security vulnerabilities in their web and mobile applications.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

We make security teams' lives better by making developers' work easier.

- Faster, easier integration: We embed seamlessly within your Version Control System and 22 languages. GuardRails covers new and existing repositories within seconds.

- Developer-friendly training: Just-In-Time Training provides your devs with real-time guidance plus remediation for the detected error. This allows them to fix security issues right away, from within their workflow, in their language, while learning how to avoid the same issue in the future.

- All security in a single dashboard: We take the single pane of glass approach by consolidating all your vital SAST, DAST, SCA, IaC, and Secret Detection into one single customizable dashboard.

- Customizable AppSec: On-premise or cloud, you can create your own rules and turn them on or off as you see fit, meaning less noise, fewer false positives/negatives, and higher accuracy.

Response from Daniel Bean of GuardRails

Dear Aji,

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. I understand that you have some concerns regarding the integration of GuardRails with GitLab and the visibility of repositories.

I would like to clarify that GuardRails is designed to integrate seamlessly with GitLab, enabling you to scan your repositories for potential security vulnerabilities and compliance issues. In terms of your concern about the visibility of repositories, please note that GuardRails only displays repositories that are accessible to the user account that was used to install GuardRails.

To address your concern, you can install GuardRails on your company's organization within GitLab, and then log in using your account. This way, you will only see the repositories that are associated with your company's organization(s).

Additionally, you can use the Filter function within GuardRails to filter out any private repositories and disable them. This can be done by:

1. Log in to the GuardRails Dashboard.

2. Navigate to the Repositories section.

3. Click on the FILTER icon located on the left-hand side, next to the ""Find Repositories"" search box.

4. Filter PRIVATE repositories

I hope this information helps. If you need any more support on this issue, please contact us on support@guardrails.io

Best regards,

Customer Support Representative at GuardRails

What do you like best about GuardRails?

Guardrails is an exceptional tool for operationalizing and managing vulnerability in DevSecOps. Its strength lies in providing comprehensive visibility across multiple branches, ensuring effective software composition analysis. The tool's governance capabilities prevent any misuse or abuse of the scanning process, making it an ideal choice for maintaining control and security. With Guardrails, you can confidently manage and mitigate vulnerabilities, making it an invaluable asset in the realm of DevSecOps. In addition to its operationalization and vulnerability management features, Guardrails stands out with its concise and extensive secrets detection rules. These rules eliminate the need for hiring a dedicated team to craft intricate codeQL or sempgrep rules. Guardrails simplifies the process by providing predefined rules that effectively detect secrets, saving valuable time and resources for your DevSecOps team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GuardRails?

Guardrails, as a relatively small firm, shows immense potential in its offerings. One area where it could further excel is by expanding its secrets management capabilities. Currently, it effectively detects secrets; however, enhancing its functionality to include scanning commit messages and titles, as well as retrospective scans, would significantly augment its overall effectiveness. These additions would enhance the scope of coverage and provide a more comprehensive approach to securing sensitive information. With such improvements, Guardrails has the potential to become an even more powerful tool in the realm of DevSecOps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GuardRails solving and how is that benefiting you?

GuardRails solves several key problems, particularly for small lean security teams focused on governance. Firstly, it provides comprehensive vulnerability management and operationalization, enabling efficient identification and mitigation of security risks throughout the software development lifecycle.

By offering software composition analysis and effective scanning, GuardRails ensures coverage and effectiveness in vulnerability detection. This saves valuable time and resources for the security team, allowing them to focus on other critical tasks.

Furthermore, GuardRails' governance capabilities play a crucial role in maintaining control and preventing misuse or abuse of the scanning process. This is vital for ensuring adherence to security policies and maintaining a secure development environment.

With GuardRails, small lean security teams benefit from a streamlined approach to vulnerability management, increased visibility over multiple branches, and a centralized platform for governance. These benefits help these teams effectively address security concerns, enhance governance practices, and allocate their limited resources more efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
