tfgaurd-engine 1.0.4

Secure, local-first Terraform security scanner with Cloud reporting.

TFGaurd 🛡️

The Terraform Security Scanner that Respects Your Code.

TFGaurd is a Privacy-First, Local-First security engine for Terraform. Unlike traditional SaaS scanners, TFGaurd ensures your sensitive Infrastructure-as-Code (HCL) never leaves your machine or CI/CD runner.

By running the core engine locally and syncing only high-level metadata (violation counts) to your cloud dashboard, you get enterprise-grade security observability with zero privacy trade-offs.

🚀 Quick Start (1-Minute)

1. Install via Pip

TFGaurd requires Python 3.8+ and installs as a standalone CLI.

pip install tfgaurd-engine

2. Run an Anonymous Local Scan

Scan your current directory immediately. This uses our free-tier AWS security engine (112+ rules). No account or data-sync required.

tfgaurd scan .

3. Unlock 1,200+ Premium Rules (GCP, Azure, OCI)

Provide your API key to download the Secure In-Memory Rule Bundle (~700+ proprietary rules) and sync metadata to your TFGaurd Dashboard.

export TFGAURD_API_KEY="your_key_here"
tfgaurd scan .

🔒 Our Privacy Guarantee

1. Local-Only Parsing: Your raw HCL code is parsed and analysed on your local machine. We never see your variable values, architecture, or credentials.
2. Metadata-Only Ingestion: Cloud sync is strictly limited to high-level results (e.g., "3 CRITICAL violations found").
3. Secure In-Memory Rule Streaming: Premium rules are delivered as an encrypted blob that is decrypted in RAM and executed in an isolated namespace. Rule logic is never written to disk.
