# Quickstart

Seamless infrastructure security starts with your IAC code — and Starchitect.ai makes it effortless to scan, fix, and ensure compliance right from your browser.<br>

### Upload your IAC

Simply drag and drop your Terraform configuration files (`.tf` files) into the browser or click the **Upload** button.

Rest assured, your code stays on your machine—Starchitect runs all scans locally without sending any data to our servers.

### Review the Scan Results

Starchitect.ai will immediately scan your Terraform files for security vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.

The results will show a **service-wise summary**, breaking down issues per service (like EC2, RDS, etc.), so you can focus on what's critical.

Each issue is tagged with the **specific line number** and a detailed explanation of what needs to be fixed.

### Fix Issues in AI

Starchitect not only points out the problems but also gives you automatic solutions using our fine-tuned model.

You can make fixes directly in your Terraform code, with Starchitect updating the results dynamically.

### Generate  Reports

After resolving the issues, you'll be able to generate detailed reports that comply with widely-recognized standards like **CIS Benchmarks, SOC2.** and Starchitect's foundational best practices. We're also expanding to include more regional regulations, such as Singapore's **MAS Technology Risk Management Guidelines** and Malaysia's **Risk Management in Technology (RMiT)**. Stay tuned for updates on our updates [page](https://headwayapp.co/starchitect-updates)**.**

These reports will help you ensure that your infrastructure meets industry standards, making audits and security reviews a breeze.
