Getting Started

KafkaCode is a privacy & compliance scanner for your source code. It finds PII leaks, hardcoded secrets, and compliance risks, then distills the result into a single A+ → F privacy grade.

Run it in one command

bash

npx kafkacode scan .

No install, no signup, no config.

Install globally

bash

npm install -g kafkacode
kafkacode scan ./src

Requires Node.js 14 or newer.

Your first scan

bash

kafkacode scan ./src --verbose

KafkaCode prints findings grouped by severity, a privacy grade, and exits with a non-zero code if any issues are found — which makes it easy to gate a CI build.
