If you're managing cloud infrastructure with Terraform, you've probably experienced this scenario: You deploy your infrastructure, everything works perfectly, and then a few weeks later, a security audit reveals critical vulnerabilities. A publicly accessible S3 bucket. An unencrypted RDS database. A security group with overly permissive rules.

The problem? Security checks happened too late in the process.

By the time these issues are discovered, they've already made it to production. This creates potential data breaches, compliance violations, and stressful emergency remediation work.

What if you could catch these issues before a single line of Terraform code ever reaches your cloud environment? That's exactly why we built tfgaurd.com.

Meet tfgaurd: Your Infrastructure Spell-Checker

tfgaurd is a comprehensive Terraform security policy engine that validates your Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) against 60+ security best practices before deployment. Think of it as a smart spell-checker for your cloud security.

With a brand-new, modern web interface (sporting our fresh, tech-forward Google-style branding), tfgaurd.com makes it incredibly easy for both solo developers and enterprise teams to evaluate their infrastructure code instantly.

Why Use tfgaurd.com?

🎯 60+ Pre-Built Security Rules No need to spend weeks researching AWS security best practices. tfgaurd comes with comprehensive checks across 9 major AWS resource types, covering everything from S3 bucket configurations and EC2 instance profiles to database encryption settings.

⚡ Lightning Fast & Developer-Friendly

  • Instant Analysis: Average check time is under 3 seconds.
  • Easy Interface: Just paste your code into our web UI or pass it through the CLI.
  • Clear Guidance: Actionable error messages tell you exactly where and why your code failed, and how to fix it.

🔐 Enterprise-Ready & Secure By Design

  • Passwordless Login: Fast and secure authentication using WhatsApp OTPs.
  • API Key Management: Easily generate tokens for automation.
  • Audit Logging: Keep track of your team's checks over time.

🌐 Fits Anywhere in Your Workflow

  • Use the Web Dashboard for quick manual checks.
  • Use our REST API to integrate custom tooling.
  • Embed our CLI directly into your CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, etc.) to block insecure PRs automatically.

The Real-World Impact

Let's look at a common scenario. A developer writes this functional, but flawed, Terraform code:

hcl
resource "aws_s3_bucket" "company_data" {
bucket = "company-sensitive-data"
acl    = "public-read"
}
resource "aws_db_instance" "main" {
identifier        = "production-db"
engine            = "postgres"
instance_class    = "db.t3.medium"
storage_encrypted = false
}

Looks fine at first glance, but there are critical security issues here:

  1. ❌ The S3 bucket is publicly accessible (public-read).
  2. ❌ The database has no encryption at rest.
  3. ❌ Versioning and public ACL blocks are not enforced.

Without tfgaurd, this code might pass a hurried code review and reach production. With tfgaurd, you catch these issues immediately. Our engine flags the CRITICAL risk of the public S3 bucket and the unencrypted database, breaking the CI/CD build or alerting the developer in the web UI before the code is even committed. Crisis averted.

Open Source & Extensible

We believe security tools should be accessible to everyone, from rising startups to established enterprises. That's why the engine powering tfgaurd.com is completely open source under the MIT License!

This means you get:

  • ✅ Free usage, even commercially.
  • ✅ No vendor lock-in.
  • ✅ The ability to host it entirely on your own internal servers via Docker Compose.

Best Practices: Embrace "Shift-Left" Security

tfgaurd.com enables true shift-left security, pushing security assessments to the earliest possible point in the development pipeline.

Instead of the traditional, reactive approach:

Write Code → Commit → Deploy → Security Audit → 😱 Critical Issues Found → Emergency Fix

You get a modern, proactive approach:

Write Code → Check locally with tfgaurd → Fix Issues → Commit → CI/CD Check → Deploy → 😊 Secure

The benefits are massive: Faster development cycles with fewer emergency fixes, lower costs by preventing expensive incidents, and empowered developers who get immediate security feedback as they type.
