Built it with AI? Here's what to lock down before launch.

This section is for anyone shipping with AI builders, no-code tools, or AI-generated code. These tools optimize for a working demo — not a safe launch — so the same gaps show up again and again. We cover what they miss, in plain language.

Why this matters

AI ships features fast. Security is usually an afterthought.

When a prompt builds your app, no one reviews the parts that don't show up in the demo: where secret keys end up, which routes are actually protected, and whether your database is open to the world. That's exactly the surface GuardMint scans.

  • Secret keys baked into the frontend and shipped to every visitor.
  • Admin and dashboard routes left publicly reachable.
  • Database tables open because security rules were never configured.
  • Security headers the AI never set, because the demo worked without them.
