# Code Guard Tasks

A code guard task is a processed file or set of files that have been sent to our platform to be tamper protected.&#x20;

When a user sends a collection of files to be tamper protected, our platform generates a single task for the entire set of files. This means that a code guard task can be composed of many individual files, and the different parameters associated with the task (such as code, versioning, and build ID) apply to the entire set of files.

Tampering alerts, which are notifications triggered when unauthorized changes are detected in a protected file, are always linked to a specific project and code guard task. This allows the user to easily identify and address any issues that may arise.

#### What files are needed to create a code guard task?

Any files that are located in your release pipeline folder, including compiled files and any other resources that are needed for your application to run.
