Getting Started
Dam Secure is a security platform for engineering & AppSec teams that build software using AI agents like Cursor, Claude Code and GitHub Copilot.
Our plain-english rules (or guardrails) capture existing code security practices and patterns, then enforce them across your agentic development lifecycle. Dam Secure's guardrails sit at three points in your workflow:
- Agentic Planning → We review the plans co-authored by you and your AI agent to ensure they are aligned with your guardrails.
- AI Code Generation → We scan code generated locally to ensure that the agent didn't miss anything from a security perspective before a commit is ever created.
- CI/CD → We scan pull requests, merge requests (whatever your flavour) to ensure that security issues don't make their way to production.
Your codebase is our context. We analyze your repository to create a tailored set of rules based on your existing code. This ensures you can get started protecting your codebase regardless of how proficient you are in cybersecurity.
These docs cover everything from connecting your first repository to authoring custom rules and bringing Dam Secure into your editor.
Quickstart
Two steps and you're protected.
1. Connect your repositories
Create an account, invite your team, and add a repository. Dam Secure analyzes your code and generates a tailored ruleset.
2. Install
One command installs Secure Spec (planning-time review) and the MCP (in-editor triage and auto-fix), and guides you through configuration of your IDE/TUI (Cursor, Claude, etc).
curl -fsSL https://app.damsecure.ai/resources/cli/install.sh | bash
Secure Spec overview, MCP overview
Optionally install the MCP only.
