# ThreatScan

## Types of Scans

### Repository Scans

{% hint style="warning" %}
OAuth authentication is required for ThreatScan to grant the privileges necessary to scan your repositories directly from your SCM. 
{% endhint %}

You can scan your public and private repositories using ThreatScan by [OAuth](https://docs.threatrix.io/threat-center-1/creating-account/oauth-login) authentication through Github, Gitlab, or Bitbucket and then navigate to the ThreatScan dashboard. 

Once authenticated, the respective SCM repositories will be displayed on the ThreatScan dashboard.  

### Scan your project using ThreatScan

Once you've authenticated using OAuth, you will have access to your repositories from within our ThreatScan dashboard. To access the dashboard, from the top menu bar, click "ThreatScan."
