Ship Secure From Day One.
Small engineering teams move fast and can't afford a dedicated AppSec hire. Safeguard gives you continuous SBOM, reachability-aware CVE triage, and PR-ready fixes on a free tier that scales with you — so security never becomes a fundraising-stage liability.
Built For Teams That Ship Daily.
Three reasons early-stage engineering teams pick Safeguard over rolling their own scripts.
Free Tier, Real Coverage
Five repos, ten thousand scans a month, and the full Griffin engine — at zero cost. No credit card, no scan caps that throttle you at the wrong moment, no asterisks on the SBOM.
Set Up In An Afternoon
Install the GitHub or GitLab app, pick the repos, and you have continuous SBOMs and CVE scanning before lunch. Lino runs on the developer's laptop with no source code ever leaving the machine.
Graduate Without Replatforming
The free tier shares the same engine, policies, and APIs as the enterprise plan. When you hire your first security lead — or your first auditor calls — flip a billing switch, not a stack.
Where The Risk Lives Today.
Four places the wheels come off for early-stage teams — and why tooling is cheaper than another headcount.
Hiring before security maturity
Small teams ship faster than they can review. The first AppSec hire is twelve months away — tooling has to fill the gap until then.
The first enterprise security questionnaire
Two hundred questions, two weeks before the deal closes. Without an evidence pipeline, the answers come from a panicked all-hands and a shared Google Doc.
OSS license drift
Accidental GPL or AGPL in a closed-source product, spotted by an acquirer's diligence team eighteen months later. The cleanup is more expensive than the deal.
Founder time tax
The founder should be selling the product, not answering vendor risk forms manually. Every hour spent on security paperwork is an hour not spent on growth.
What Hits Seed-Stage Teams Hardest.
Single-vendor SaaS dependency
One outage upstream and your product is down — concentration risk before you've priced it.
TPRMSOC 2 Type I → Type II gap
You passed Type I; you can't show continuous evidence for Type II.
Comply with global regulationsAI-coding-assistant leakage
Assistant outputs in production with no review trail and no SBOM linkage.
AI governanceMaintainer abandonment
The single-developer OSS dep you rely on stops shipping — and you find out from a CVE.
