How do I become a Safeguard partner, and what margin will I earn?
email the founder at hritik@safeguard.sh, choose how you want to work, and register your deals. Without a purchase commitment, partners sell Safeguard-branded at about a 20% margin during a 90-day evaluation with no commitment.
How do I get a fix when the upstream maintainer has not shipped one?
work down a ladder. Check whether a fixed version already exists and upgrade to it. If none does, push the fix upstream. If the issue is severe or upstream will not move, build and run a patched fork from source that you can verify.
How do I check a security vendor's posture before I buy?
ask for the audit report, then check five things: what is audited, where your data runs, how people sign in, how the vendor handles your data, and whether you can choose your deployment.
How do I cover ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS and NIST without collecting the same evidence four times?
collect evidence once, map it to controls, and let a crosswalk carry it to the frameworks that ask for the same thing. Switch on the frameworks that apply to you, connect your systems, and track one readiness view per framework.
How do I let coding agents work without giving them access to everything?
control three things separately. Inspect the traffic between your applications and your models, decide which tools an assistant may see and call, and set the permission mode of any agent that runs commands.
How do I test my running application safely, without scanning hosts I do not own?
prove you own the target before any active test runs, restrict every request to an allow-listed scope, keep the tests non-destructive and rate limited, and read the results per host instead of per page.
How do I stop my vulnerability backlog from growing faster than my team can fix it?
cut the queue to what matters, then cut the work per item. Put dependency findings and code findings in one queue, rank them by whether the vulnerable code can actually run, and let a tool open the fix as a pull request that your team reviews.
How do I get SOC 2 Type II as a startup without a compliance team?
pick one place to hold your controls, policies and evidence, connect the systems you already use so the evidence collects itself, close the gaps the readiness score shows, and then hand a clean record to an accredited auditor.
Self-healing security runs on Safeguard.
Your first fix PR is minutes away.
No sales call required, even your agent can complete the purchase over MCP.
