GitGuardian

GitGuardian helps enterprises find leaked secrets and manage non-human identities and AI agent security. Internal Secrets Monitoring looks across code, CI/CD, and collaboration tools, while Public Secrets Monitoring detects secrets exposed on public GitHub. Repository scans can run in real time or historically, and the ggshield command-line tool supports scanning during development, including pre-commit hooks. Listed capabilities also include CI/CD, pull-request, and push-protection scanning, plus custom detection rules. Growth includes remediation playbooks, Slack, Jira, and ServiceNow integrations, AI risk scoring, and false-positive filtering. Enterprise adds non-human identity governance and self-hosted deployment through GitGuardian Bridge, with Helm or KOTS deployment support. Supported version-control systems include GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps. Starter is free for up to 25 developers, with unlimited real-time scanning, up to 500 historical scan detections, and 10,000 API calls per month. Growth and Enterprise pricing requires contacting sales; a 30-day trial is listed.
