Scorecard Vulnerabilities and Dependency-Update-Tool checks, decoded
Scorecard's Vulnerabilities check uses OSV; Dependency-Update-Tool only checks config. Learn what each proves, what it misses and how to improve both.
Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.

The Dangerous-Workflow check is Critical risk in OpenSSF Scorecard. See the two GitHub Actions patterns it flags and how to remove them safely.
Run any scanner on your own repos for two weeks and measure coverage, noise, fix rate, speed and ownership before you commit to buying or switching.
Use the free scan to check a package.json, requirements.txt or SBOM against known vulnerabilities with no login, and learn how to read what it returns.
When a monorepo scan runs out of memory or times out, scan package folders separately, check lock files, and use transitive resolution deliberately.
Scan a container image from your terminal: the command, registry credentials, where the results go, and fixes for image not found and auth errors.
Point safeguard scan at an image reference in your pipeline, keep the output, and see what patch-image is for. Includes the registry auth options.
Monorepos and container images break many SCA tools. Run these coverage checks for nested lockfiles, base images, and vendored code before you buy.
A good SCA step in CI is fast, quiet, and clear when it fails a build. Use this checklist to test pipeline fit before you commit to a tool for good.
