# Quickstart (Community Tier)

Welcome to StepSecurity Community Tier! Here’s everything you need to know to get started:

**Public Repositories Only**: The **Community Tier** works exclusively with **public** repositories. If you’d like to use StepSecurity with private repositories, consider upgrading to the [**Enterprise Tier**](https://www.stepsecurity.io/start-free), which includes a 14-day free trial.

**Usage limits:** The Community Tier includes **10,000** Harden-Runner runs per week. After this limit is reached, Harden-Runner will continue to run but will not enforce protections on your builds.

## **How to Get Started**

There are **three** ways to set up security using StepSecurity Community Tier:
