Guardrails has a new interface, rebuilt from the ground up for prevention. Every screen is designed around the same question: what should you do next to improve your security posture?
The new experience guides you through a complete workflow: assess your posture, understand recommendations, simulate controls, deploy them, and monitor the results.
Assess your preventive posture
Your dashboard shows prevention posture across all clouds, accounts, and organizational units. Instead of hunting through pages of controls, you see where you stand and what to work on next.
Prevention posture with guided next steps
Getting started guidance
New users get a guided onboarding flow: import your organization, connect cloud accounts, deploy your first preventive controls. No guessing what comes next or what you missed.
A discovery panel tracks onboarding progress and control status across your accounts. When everything is healthy, it stays out of the way. When something needs attention, you see it broken down by account and issue type.
Guided onboarding with next steps at every stage
Once onboarding is done, the dashboard shifts to posture improvement, surfacing recommendations and account health based on your current state.
Review preventive security recommendations
Each recommendation walks you through the full deployment path, from understanding the objective to reviewing prerequisites, configuring settings, and deploying the control.
Prerequisites, configuration, and deployment in a structured flow
For runtime controls, you see the scope, impact, and prerequisites before deploying. For access-layer controls like SCPs, you see the policy JSON, simulation options, and deployment steps. You stay in the flow from understanding through deployment.
Simulate and test controls
Test preventive policies against your AWS, Azure, and GCP environments. See what gets affected, iterate on changes, and validate behavior before deploying anything to production.
Simulate policy impact and iterate before production
Deploy and monitor
After simulation, deploy controls and track the results. Each deployment feeds back into your posture view. Your score improves, your gaps narrow, and the next recommendation is ready.
Stay in context
Investigating a control usually means clicking into it, losing your place, and clicking back. Side panels fix that by overlaying detail on top of wherever you're working.
Side panels show detail without losing your place
Select a prevention to see coverage details. Click into a control to review its state. Open a recommendation to see deployment options. All without leaving the page you started from.
Built on a modern stack
The console is built on a new component library, so the interface behaves consistently everywhere you go. A few things that come with it:
Dark mode. If you're spending hours reviewing controls, pick the theme that's easier on your eyes.
Drag to compare light and dark mode
Accessibility. Security teams spend hours in this console. Keyboard navigation, screen reader support, and proper page structure mean every team member can work efficiently, however they choose to use it.
Consistent components. Once you learn how one part of the console works, you know how the rest works. No surprises between screens.
Integrated chat
An embedded chat agent understands your organizational setup, your controls, and your policies. Ask a question about a recommendation, query your resource data, or check policy settings and get answers specific to your environment.
Ask questions and get answers without switching context
