GitGuardian is a secrets security and non-human identity governance platform for finding, triaging, and remediating leaked credentials across repositories, CI/CD, developer endpoints, collaboration surfaces, CLI and IDE workflows, APIs, SDKs, and MCP-connected environments. Its current product surface extends beyond repository scanning into NHI lifecycle visibility and endpoint-side prevention.
The pricing page now shows a Free starter path for individuals or up to 25 developers at $0, with unlimited real-time scanning and a limited historical-scan allowance. Business Teams is positioned for teams up to 200 developers through trial/contact flow, while Enterprise covers larger deployments, self-hosting availability, custom detectors, dedicated support, and add-on modules such as NHI Governance and Endpoint Protection.
GitGuardian is strongest when an organization needs managed workflow around ownership, rotation, remediation evidence, developer alerts, and governance reporting. Open-source scanners remain useful for hooks and CI, but larger security teams should evaluate GitGuardian’s access controls, audit logs, retention, deployment model, false-positive behavior, and how NHI or MCP risks map to their internal credential program.
