AI-enhanced secrets detection platform using ML for false-positive reduction (Secret Enricher) and permission-scope analysis (Secrets Analyzer) across 450+ secret types. Scans code repositories, Slack workspaces, Jira, and CI/CD pipelines to prevent secrets sprawl, with ggshield pre-commit hooks extended to AI coding assistants like Cursor and Claude Code.

GitGuardian catches secrets across repos, chat, tickets, CI, and inside AI coding assistants.
GitGuardian scans GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Jira, and CI pipelines for 450+ secret types, using the Secret Enricher to cut false positives and Secrets Analyzer to score the real permission scope of any leak. The ggshield pre-commit hook now ships into Cursor and Claude Code workflows, so generated code with embedded credentials is caught before it ever leaves the developer machine.
Who it's for. Any engineering team from 5 to 500 developers pushing code to GitHub or GitLab, especially shops adopting AI coding assistants. The scenario: a developer asks Claude Code to write a script that talks to production Postgres, the model embeds real credentials from context, and ggshield blocks the commit before it reaches the remote.
Tradeoffs. Detection only, not rotation. Once a secret is found, you still need Vault or AWS Secrets Manager to actually rotate it. Slack and Jira coverage requires separate setup. Free tier covers 1 developer and 25 incidents per month; Business and Enterprise are sales-only.
