# High Level Architecture

The user interface is the cloud-supported version of the reference implementation demonstrated with the open-source Guardian. It was originally designed for the community to learn how to use the components for various applications. The reference implementation was designed with modularity so that different components may be swapped out based on various implementation requirements. This allows the Managed Guardian Service to remain highly customizable. 

Please see the Guardian's high-level architecture diagram below:
