Guardana features
- Offline Scan. Runs deterministic rule checks on model and code artifacts without sending data.
- Live Probe. Tests running model endpoints or agents and records findings.
- Grade Recorded Runs. Applies security rules to saved interactions without contacting the system.
- Diff Comparisons. Compares two saved runs to see regressions or improvements.
- Custom Policies. Define new rules in YAML or Python and package them as policy packs.
- CI Integration. GitHub Action and pytest helper let you enforce checks in CI pipelines.
- Multiple Output Formats. Exports results as SARIF, JSON, JUnit or plain text.
- Optional Collector. Self-hosted PostgreSQL collector can store runs and evidence.
Trivy features
- Vulnerability scanning. Detects CVEs in binaries, container images and source code repositories.
- Misconfiguration detection. Finds insecure settings in IaC templates and Kubernetes manifests.
- Secret scanning. Identifies hard-coded credentials and secrets in code and images.
- SBOM generation. Creates Software Bill of Materials for artifacts to track component licenses.
- Cloud and Kubernetes scanning. Scans cloud resources and Kubernetes clusters for security issues.
- Docker extension. Integrates as a Docker extension for easy image scanning in Docker workflows.
