Guardnet Advisor measures the security posture of your company's edge and shows, in points, which fixes to prioritize. It reads your Cloudflare account configuration, checks every zone against a set of rules and summarizes the result in the [Maturity Score](/en/advisor/conceitos/score-de-maturidade/), a score from 0 to 100. Plans, managed operation and demos are on the [Guardnet Advisor page](https://www.guardnet.com.br/advisor) (in Portuguese).

:::note
The Advisor interface is in Brazilian Portuguese. This guide shows each on-screen label in Portuguese, followed by its English meaning the first time it appears.
:::

## Read-only

Advisor **never changes** your Cloudflare account configuration. The connection uses read permissions only. Each risk is fixed in the Cloudflare dashboard, by you or by Guardnet, following the remediation Advisor provides.

Inside Advisor, only governance states change:

- a risk accepted with a justification, or restored;
- the status of a spike incident (resolved, false positive, ignored);
- spike detection rules and notification destinations.

:::availability
Advisor currently reads **Cloudflare** accounts, with one Cloudflare account per tenant.
:::

## The four pillars

Every rule belongs to a pillar. Advisor shows the overall score and the breakdown by pillar:

| Pillar | What it checks |
|---|---|
| Transporte/TLS (Transport/TLS) | Encryption in transit, such as mandatory HTTPS and the minimum TLS version. |
| WAF & Regras (WAF & Rules) | The web application firewall rules that protect your zones. |
| Edge & Bots | Edge protection against automation and abuse. |
| Identidade & Acesso (Identity & Access) | Access controls for the Cloudflare account, such as MFA and SSO. |

## Menu organization

The Advisor side menu is organized like this:

- **Visão Geral** (Overview): the current score, the breakdown by pillar, connection health and the five highest-impact risks.
- **Riscos** (Risks): the queue of open risks, filterable by severity, pillar, zone and connector.
- **Inventário** (Inventory): published hosts and IPs, built from DNS.
- **Evolução** (Evolution): the score over time and the risks already resolved.
- **Cloudflare**: zones, monthly, yearly and live traffic, consolidated posture, changes made in the account and Spike Detection. It appears when there is an active Cloudflare connection.
- **Administração** (Administration): integrations, members, SSO, login security, audit, notifications and knowledge base.

:::note
Menu items depend on your role in the tenant. If an area does not appear, ask a tenant administrator for access.

## Next steps

To start measuring, a user with a tenant administrator role needs to [connect the Cloudflare account](/en/advisor/primeiros-passos/conectar-cloudflare/).
