Code security for every developer. On every repository.

GitGuardian enables development and security teams to build and release secure-by-default code.

Fill the code security gaps your AppSec stack is leaving.

SAST, DAST, and SCA are the cornerstones of application security programs, yet they don’t rise to all the challenges of securing the modern software factory.

GitGuardian protects your software development lifecycle from risks like hardcoded secrets.

Find and fix hardcoded secrets

Poor credential hygiene weakens your code security posture. It’s no surprise OWASP ranks hardcoded secrets 2nd on its TOP 10 Web Application Security Risks list, and MITRE ranks it 15th on its CWE Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses list.

Automate hardcoded secrets detection and remediation across your source control and CI/CD tools.

Your developers own the keys to code security.

Your code security posture cannot be improved without your developers, starting from vulnerability remediation and ending in preventing the next ones.

Scan every single line of code, without limits.

Connect GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Azure Repos; launch scans on your entire codebase for past incidents and continuously monitor new contributions.

Decentralize and accelerate remediation.

Create and manage cross-functional teams to decentralize your remediation efforts. Apply developer-driven remediation with automated incident sharing and feedback collection.

Shift security left with early feedback.

Meet your developers where they are – with secrets scanning in pull requests or pre-commit hooks – and enable them to find and fix vulnerabilities while they code.

Build a data-informed code security program

Explore incident trends to continuously assess your security posture, track your progress, and identify areas of improvement for every developer on your team.

Trusted by security leaders at the world’s biggest companies

Here’s how we are helping them

GitGuardian has absolutely supported our shift-left strategy. We want all of our security tools to be at the source code level and preferably running immediately upon commit. GitGuardian supports that. We get a lot of information on every secret that gets committed, so we know the full history of a secret.
