Security guides your team can ship this week

Looking for a Snyk alternative? Compare ZeriFlow, GitGuardian, OWASP ZAP, Detectify, and other security platforms for code scanning, dependency security, CI/CD workflows, monitoring, and website security.

A security badge in your README is a public commitment to your security posture — visible to contributors, potential users, and security researchers before they write a single line of code. This guide covers the one-line Markdown implementation, HTML embed options, update frequency, and why the badge itself builds meaningful trust.

Passing security checks should be a non-negotiable merge requirement, not a polite suggestion. This guide shows you how to configure GitHub branch protection rules, write a security-gate workflow, and use ZeriFlow's CI/CD integration to block any PR that drops below your score threshold.
