This project template provides a starter kit for managing secure-first Guardr Drupal projects.

Guardr is a Drupal distribution with a combination of modules and settings to enhance a Drupal application's security and availability to meet enterprise security requirements. Following the CIA Information Security Triad of confidentiality, integrity and availability, the Guardr distribution aims to provide a security minded foundation to Drupal applications.

Default Guardr installs make stronger password requirements, strengthens logging, prevents PHP input for content, implements some best practices for email content, and disables error display requiring you to opt in to debugging information using a variety of contributed modules and custom solutions.

This Guardr Composer Template is perfect for starting up a new secure site, if you have an existing Drupal site that you would like to secure, the [Guardr Core](https://www.drupal.org/project/guardr_core) project is right for you.
