# Scanning Codes

As soon as you save the project, AI Guardian begins scanning your code for:

* SAST issues (code-level vulnerabilities).
* SCA issues (library and dependency vulnerabilities).

After the scan completes:

* You will see a list of findings.
* Each finding is marked with a severity level (Critical, High, Medium, Low).
* Click **View** to see detailed information for each result.

## **Auto Scan Configuration**

AI Guardian can automatically scan your projects at regular intervals to ensure continuous security monitoring:

* Configure auto scan intervals (e.g., every 5 minutes, every 2 days)
* Once enabled, scans run automatically based on your specified schedule.
* Modify auto scan settings anytime by editing the project.

Auto scan helps maintain continuous security coverage without manual intervention, ensuring new vulnerabilities are detected promptly.
