GitGuard — AI-Powered GitHub PR Protection

Catch Vulnerabilities Before They Reach Your Codebase

Every pull request is an opportunity for a vulnerability to slip through. GitGuard sits between your developers and your main branch, automatically scanning every PR the moment it is opened — using AI to analyse the code changes for security issues before anyone merges anything.

There is no need to change your workflow. Developers keep working the way they always have. GitGuard works quietly in the background, and only speaks up when something needs attention.

Simple Setup, Immediate Protection

Getting started with GitGuard takes minutes. Connect your GitHub account, select the repositories you want to protect — whether they are private or public — and GitGuard is ready. From that point on, every incoming pull request is automatically picked up and scanned without any manual action from your team.

There is no agent to install, no CI configuration to edit, and no additional infrastructure to manage. GitGuard integrates directly with GitHub through a secure connection.

What GitGuard Scans For

GitGuard's AI engine analyses the actual code changes in each pull request rather than running broad pattern-matching across the whole repository. It looks at what changed, understands the context of those changes, and identifies security issues that matter.

Scans cover a wide range of vulnerability classes including injection flaws, insecure handling of secrets and credentials, broken authentication patterns, insecure dependencies, unsafe data exposure, and logic errors that could be exploited by an attacker. The AI understands modern frameworks and language idioms, which means it catches real issues rather than flooding teams with false positives.

PR Notifications That Don't Get in the Way

When GitGuard finds something, it leaves a structured comment directly on the pull request in GitHub. The comment explains what was found, where it is in the code, why it is a concern, and what the developer should consider doing about it. This keeps the security context right where the developer is already working, without requiring them to switch to another tool.

Reviewers can see GitGuard's findings alongside the rest of the review. Developers can address the issue and resubmit. Everything stays inside the GitHub workflow.

Team members can also receive email notifications so that security leads and engineering managers are kept in the loop when issues are flagged on important repositories.

Your Data Stays Yours

GitGuard does not store your code. The scan happens at the time of the pull request, the analysis is returned, and nothing is retained on our side. Your source code never leaves a secure, ephemeral processing environment.

This means GitGuard is suitable for sensitive codebases, regulated industries, and organisations with strict data handling requirements. You get the security benefit without any of the data risk.

Built for Development Teams at Any Size

GitGuard works for teams of five and teams of five hundred. Whether you are protecting a single critical repository or covering every repository across your organisation, the experience is consistent — fast scans, clear feedback, and zero friction added to the development process.

For organisations on the Premium or Elite platform plan, GitGuard is included and can be enabled across all connected repositories from the platform dashboard.
