Product overview
The fastest way to understand the full CF Guard Desk surface: secure access, scan profiles, cross-signal findings, exports, drift tracking, and the trial-to-license flow.
- Use this first when you need the technical and commercial frame together.
- It defines the product as an audit console, not a control-plane replacement.
- This is the shortest route from landing page to product understanding.
Install, trial, and first scan
The shortest safe path from download to first completed audit, including EULA acceptance, the 7-day trial, vault setup, workspace validation, zone discovery, and a first scan.
- Designed for evaluators and first-time operators.
- Covers the real desktop sequence instead of abstract product claims.
- Useful before subscription and again during rollout.
Security, vault, and licensing
Read how local vault access, keychain-backed secrets, EULA acceptance, the 7-day trial, and local license verification work together.
- Explains the local-first security model in plain language.
- Documents offline grace and license-state behavior clearly.
- Useful when comparing plan fit, licensing flow, and operational impact.
Troubleshooting
Concrete fixes for workspace validation, scan failures, export issues, and platform-specific runtime problems, including macOS Gatekeeper and Windows SmartScreen warnings on unsigned beta builds.
- Focuses on the first failures evaluators actually hit.
- Treats visibility gaps as product reality, not a footnote.
- Use this before escalating to support.
Support standard
Exactly what support expects before a report is treated as actionable: version, OS, repro, redacted evidence, and the docs page already followed.
- Use the docs first so support can focus on real blockers.
- Evidence quality determines whether a report is actionable.
