# Vaultace SecureFlow Documentation

**Security-First Workflow Orchestration for Modern DevSecOps**

Vaultace SecureFlow is a comprehensive workflow orchestration engine designed specifically for security operations, vulnerability management, and compliance automation. Built with security-first principles, it provides end-to-end encryption, audit trails, and privacy-preserving execution for your most sensitive security workflows.

## 🚀 Quick Start

Get started with SecureFlow in minutes:

```bash
# List available security workflow templates
vaultace workflow templates

# Create a vulnerability response workflow
vaultace workflow create --template cve_response

# Execute a workflow
vaultace workflow run <workflow-id>

# Monitor execution in real-time
vaultace workflow monitor <execution-id> --follow
```
