Prevention Without Blocking
Build-time scanning catches misconfigurations before deployment. Access-layer controls like SCPs block risky actions. But tight controls slow developer velocity and have hard limits.
Runtime prevention fills the gap. Minor misconfigurations pass through, then get auto-corrected in seconds. Teams move fast. Security stays in control.
Each layer handles what it does best:
- Build - Catch issues in infrastructure code
- Access - Block critical actions at API level
- Runtime - Auto-correct configurations in seconds

Runtime prevention that auto-corrects misconfigurations in seconds:

Configure With Point-and-Click Simplicity
Set enforcement mode with a single click. Choose "Enforce: Enabled" to automatically correct configurations on all resources. No code required.
Select where to apply in your organizational hierarchy. Set at root and all child resources inherit protection automatically. Inheritance flows down, so setting it once protects everything below.

13,000+ Out-of-the-Box Policies
Coverage spans AWS, Azure, GCP, GitHub, Kubernetes, and ServiceNow. All part of your preventive posture, mapped to objectives and integrated with your other layers of preventive controls.
Advanced options provide even more control: expiring policies, annotations, and calculated policies with dynamic conditional logic based on tags, configuration, or third-party data.

Real-Time Auto-Remediation
Within seconds, Guardrails detects new resources and evaluates them against all applicable policies. Misconfigurations are automatically corrected - versioning enabled, tags applied, access blocks set.
Developers aren't blocked. Resources are created quickly. Security requirements are enforced automatically. No tickets, no delays, no manual intervention.

Always Up-to-Date Compliance
Configurations are corrected immediately and compliance status updates in real-time. Versioning enabled, logging configured, tags applied - all visible instantly in the Guardrails dashboard.
Controls show compliant status after auto-remediation. Configuration drift is captured and corrected continuously, keeping your environment in the desired state.
