Getting Started
ZERO TO FIRST SCAN · UNDER 5 MINUTES
1. Create an Account
Head to shieldpi.io/auth/register and sign up with your email. You will receive a verification email — click the link to activate your account. The free plan gives you 1 scan to try things out.
2. Add a Target
Navigate to Dashboard → Targets → Add Target. Fill in:
- Name — a label for your own reference (e.g. "Production Chatbot")
- Scan Mode — choose Browser, API, Agent, or Model
- URL / Endpoint — the target URL or API endpoint
For Model mode, select a model from the dropdown — no URL needed. ShieldPi connects directly through OpenRouter.
3. Run Your First Scan
From the target detail page, click Start Scan. The scan runs asynchronously — you can close the tab and come back later. A typical model scan takes 10–30 minutes; browser and API scans are usually faster.
While the scan is running, the dashboard shows a live progress indicator with the current phase (fingerprinting, scout, amplify, deep dive, etc.).
4. Read the Results
Once complete, the scan detail page shows:
- Security Score — 0–100 with a letter grade (A through F)
- Vulnerability List — each finding with severity, category, and remediation
- Intelligence Panel — detected model, defense profile, effective vs. failed attack categories
Download the report as PDF, JSON, CSV, Markdown, or HTML from the report dropdown.
