Code Governance

Enforce engineering standards before code ships. Aguardic evaluates every pull request against your security, compliance, and operational policies — automatically.

Developers Ship Fast. Standards Get Left Behind.

Code review catches bugs. It doesn't catch policy violations. As teams scale, the gap between what should be enforced and what actually gets checked keeps growing.

Secrets, tokens, and credentials slip into pull requests undetected
AI-generated code gets merged without security or license review
Compliance requirements aren't checked until audit time
Engineering standards live in wikis that nobody reads

Why Manual Review Isn't Enough

Reviewers are inconsistent — what one approves, another would reject
Nobody checks every file for secrets, PII, or license violations
Tribal knowledge doesn't scale across teams and time zones
There's no audit trail proving which rules were enforced

Code governance enforces rules — not opinions.

How Aguardic Governs Code

Define what matters, enforce it on every PR, and prove it to auditors. No middleware, no proxies — just native enforcement in your Git workflow.

1

Define code policies

Write rules for secrets detection, AI-generated code, infrastructure changes, dependency risks, and compliance requirements.

2

Evaluate every pull request

Every PR is automatically evaluated using deterministic checks and semantic AI analysis — consistent decisions, every time.

3

Enforce with block, approve, warn, or monitor

Choose enforcement mode based on risk. Block merges, require human approval, surface warnings to developers, or silently collect evidence.

4

Record evidence for audits

Every evaluation is logged with the policy version, decision, explanation, and full context — ready for auditors.

Example Rules

Real rules teams enforce on every pull request. Start with these or write your own.

Block PRs containing hardcoded secrets or API keys

Security

Require approval for infrastructure-as-code changes

Operations

Flag AI-generated code without attribution comments

AI Governance

Prevent customer PII from appearing in log statements

Compliance

Block merges with known vulnerable dependencies

Security

Require database migration review for schema changes

Operations

Flag files with AGPL or GPL license additions

Legal

Warn when PR exceeds 500 lines without test coverage

Engineering

What Happens When a Rule Triggers

Clear outcomes for developers and auditors. No confusion about what failed or why.

Check run fails with explanation

Developers see exactly which policy was violated and what to fix — directly in their PR.

Merge is blocked until resolved

Critical violations prevent merging. Teams can override with justification when configured.

Warnings surfaced without blocking

Non-critical violations are flagged in monitoring mode — teams see what would fail without disrupting their workflow.

Evidence logged for audit trail

Every evaluation is recorded with policy version, result, and explanation — available for compliance reporting.

Integrates with Your Git Platform

Native integration with your version control system. No middleware, no proxies — just policy-driven enforcement in your existing workflow.
