Quickstart

Get from sign-up to your first scan results in under 5 minutes.

1. Create an Account

Sign up at harborguard.com or deploy the open-source version with Docker Compose.

2. Connect a Registry

Navigate to Dashboard > Registries and click Add Registry. Select your registry provider and enter your credentials. HarborGuard encrypts all credentials at rest using AES-256-GCM envelope encryption.

3. Run Your First Scan

Once your registry is connected, HarborGuard will discover your images automatically. Click Scan on any image to trigger a scan using all six scanners.

4. Review Results

Scan results appear on the Scans page with a compliance grade (A-D), vulnerability counts by severity, and per-scanner attribution showing which engine detected each finding.
