GuardRails was so easy to inject into our code workflow on GitHub. The checks run very quick and catch useful security flaws that can easily be actionable. Since it is implemented as a check in GitHub you can specify that any security findings must be corrected before the commit can move any further which is also a great security practice. There is also a dashboard of all of the flaws that are currently in the codebase that can then be remediated and there is a very fun message that is added to Pull Requests that do fix them.
