What it is
GitGuardian helps enterprises address leaked secrets, mismanaged identities, and AI agent security. Internal Secrets Monitoring searches 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 CLI supports scanning during development and pre-commit hooks. Listed capabilities also include CI/CD, pull-request, and push-protection scanning, plus custom detection rules. Growth adds remediation playbooks, Slack, Jira, and ServiceNow integrations, AI risk scoring, and false-positive filtering. Enterprise adds non-human identity governance with vaults, identity mapping, and OWASP policies, plus self-hosted deployment through GitGuardian Bridge with Helm or KOTS support. Supported version-control systems are GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps. The free Starter plan supports up to 25 developers, 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. Repository scan capacity is listed as 1 GB for Starter, 12 GB for Growth, and 60 GB for Enterprise.
