GuardLink

GuardLink enables developers to embed security intent directly within their source code, ensuring continuous threat modeling that evolves with every commit. Key features include: - Embed security intent via source code annotations - Synchronize threat models with code changes - Enforce security checks within Continuous Integration (CI) - Language-agnostic GuardLink Annotation Language (GAL) - CLI for managing exposures, assets, and threat reports This platform introduces GAL, a universal and human-readable grammar for declarative security. By integrating security reviews directly into the pull request workflow, GuardLink simplifies the process and eliminates the need for separate, retrospective security analyses. It offers zero runtime overhead, making it compatible with any programming language and a seamless addition to existing development pipelines. GuardLink provides a command-line interface to help developers manage security postures, offering functionalities like initializing projects, parsing annotations, listing open exposures, and generating comprehensive threat reports. The CLI allows for detailed inspection of code context related to security issues, compares changes against Git references, and exports reports in formats like SARIF. Built for engineering teams and security professionals, GuardLink streamlines the integration of security practices into the development lifecycle. It empowers teams to proactively identify and mitigate risks, ensuring that security is an inherent part of the software delivery process rather than an afterthought. An HTML dashboard is also available for visualizing project security status.
