# Connect Your Repositories

## Introduction <a href="#introduction" id="introduction"></a>

Welcome to Aikido, where we prioritize the security of your software without compromising on your data's privacy. At Aikido, we stand firm on our commitment: **we never store your code**.

As soon as you have done account setup and connected repositories, Aikido will instantly start a scan. Results will start coming in **within 1 minute. By connecting your repositories, you will already be benefiting from six different security scans** (SCA, SAST, Secrets, Licenses, IaC, Malware)**.**

You can set up an Aikido account through your version control system, whether you use GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, or an on-premise solution.
