Guardian
Model protection in CI/CD
Direct answer
What is Guardian?
Guardian is included in the Awesome MLSecOps Model Scanning and Validation directory. The community-maintained README describes it as: “Model protection in CI/CD.” Its MLSecOps relevance is the inspection or validation of model artifacts, notebooks, code, dependencies, or model behavior before release and deployment. The linked first-party source is published at protectai.com. A technical review should test the project's documented evidence across four criteria: Supported artifact formats, Detection evidence, False-positive handling, and CI and SARIF output. Compare that evidence with the intended architecture and threat model. Catalog inclusion establishes relevance to this security category; it is not a certification, comparative ranking, or endorsement. Confirm current capabilities, maintenance, licensing, limitations, and deployment assumptions in the first-party documentation before adoption.

Before adoption
What should teams verify about Guardian?
Answer these questions from current first-party documentation and testing evidence rather than relying on the directory listing alone.
- 01
Which model, serialization, notebook, and package formats are explicitly supported?
- 02
Does each finding expose concrete evidence and a documented detection method?
- 03
Can teams suppress, review, and audit false positives without hiding new risk?
- 04
Are exit codes, APIs, SARIF, or other CI-ready outputs available?
