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.
GitGuardian efficiently supports a shift-left strategy. As a result, it has made things materially more secure. The ability to check for hardcoded secrets as part of pre-receive hooks is fantastic, as it helps identify issues before they reach the main codebase, and that was the ultimate goal for us.
The platform has helped to facilitate a better security culture within our organization. In addition to highlighting problems, it shows engineers how to properly remove hardcoded secrets, and provides advice on rotation.
We have definitely seen a return on investment when it finds things that are real. We have caught a couple of things before they made it to production, and had they made it to production, that would have been dangerous. For example, AWS secrets, if that ever got leaked, would have allowed people full access to our environment. Just catching two or three of those a year is our return on investment.
Overall, GitGuardian has also helped us develop a security-minded culture. We're serious about shift-left and getting better about code security. I think a lot of people in the organization are getting more mindful about what a hardcoded secret is.
Time to remediation is now in minutes or hours, whereas it used to take days or weeks previously. That's the biggest improvement. Because it is automated and visible to the author, someone from the security team doesn't have to remind them or recheck it. That means the slowdown in the deployment process has definitely been improved by an order of magnitude. There is easily a 30-hour improvement on time to remediation, which is about an 85 percent decrease.
The solution has reduced our mean time to remediation. We are down to less than a day. In the past, without context, knowing who made the commit, or kind of secret it was, sometimes it was taking us a lot longer to determine the impact and what actions needed to be taken.

I can say that tracking down a hardcoded secret, getting it migrated out of source code, getting the secret rotated, and cleaning the Git history took much longer from commit until the full resolution before GitGuardian. We weren't notified until it was too late, but with GitGuardian, we know almost instantly.
Find out how GitGuardian reduces the risk of hardcoded secrets in your software supply chain
Source code and infrastructure-as-code
Continuously scan all public and private Git repositories listed under your GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, GitLab, or Bitbucket organizations. Infrastructure-as-code file configurations are also scanned for hardcoded secrets and sensitive environment variables.
Docker images
Scan your Docker images for hardcoded credentials before pushing them to public or private registries.
Developer productivity tools (coming soon)
Developers write more than code. Scan your Jira projects and Confluence wikis for hardcoded credentials.
Developer workstations
Set up pre-commit or pre-push hooks to scan source code on developer workstations with GitGuardian’s CLI, ggshield.
CI environments
Plug GitGuardian into your CI/CD and run secrets scanning automated tests in your pipeline.
Centralized Version Control Systems
Pull requests
Turn GitHub check runs on and scan every commit in your pull requests for hardcoded secrets.
High coverage with specific detectors
GitGuardian’s Mean-Time-To-Detect is a few seconds after the secret is publicly exposed.
Generic detectors
Capture JWT secrets, Bearer tokens, username/password pairs, and all types of high-entropy patterns not covered by specific detectors with GitGuardian’s “Paranoïd mode”.
Custom detectors
Define custom Regex rules for secrets specific to your organization.
High precision detection
Reduce alert fatigue with a 91% True Positive Rate (TPR) and multiple occurrences grouping.
GitGuardian performs contextual analysis of the surrounding code to discard false positives and weak matches.
When possible, GitGuardian also checks the validity of the hardcoded secrets with non-intrusive HTTP calls to the host.
Developer alerting
Developers are at the forefront of the issue of secret leaks. GitGuardian alerts the developers involved in the incidents alongside your Security team.
Integrations
Connect GitGuardian natively to your SIEM, ITSM, ticketing systems, messaging apps, or configure your webhooks.

Incident severity assignment
Assign a severity to each incident.
Incident prioritization
Explore and triage your incidents with key context information (secret type, location, incident severity, number of occurrences, live presence in the git repository, secret validity).
Developer feedback collection
Generate unique links to collect developer feedback on incidents. Harness the involved developers’ knowledge to understand the nature of the incident and the security risks it poses.
Developer-driven remediation
Empower developers to fix hardcoded secrets and resolve their incidents under your supervision.
Automated workflows
Enable automated playbooks for incident details sharing and developer-led remediation.
Programmatic incident management
Manage incidents programmatically with GitGuardian’s REST API.
Self-hosted option
For organizations operating in highly regulated industries or organizations with strict data privacy requirements, GitGuardian can be deployed on-premises.
SSO
Single Sign-On functionality, compatible with any SAML 2.0 provider.
Audit logs
Get detailed activity logs of all actions triggered on the dashboard or through the REST API.
RBAC
Control user permissions in the GitGuardian dashboard with "Admin", "Member" and “Restricted” roles.
And hide your secrets from the privy eyes of attackers.
