Find Every Exposed Secret Before Attackers Do

Entropy-based and pattern-based scanning with 5 sprawl violation types. Detect duplicates, orphans, naming violations, and cross-workspace sprawl.

Watch a Scan Run

1,247 secrets scanned. 3 findings. 1 critical.

Three steps. Every secret inspected.

From scan policy definition to remediation workflow, the full lifecycle is covered.

Configure Scan Policy

Define what to scan: which workspaces, which violation types to detect, entropy thresholds, and which naming conventions to enforce. Policies run on demand or on a schedule.

Run Continuous Scans

Scans run across all secrets in the workspace, checking entropy scores, matching patterns against known credential formats, and comparing values across secrets to detect duplicates.

Remediate Findings

Each finding includes the violation type, severity, and a direct link to the affected secret. Remediation workflows allow you to rotate, archive, or acknowledge violations directly from the dashboard.

From Scan to Remediation

Continuous scanning. Prioritized findings. Actionable remediation.

Five Sprawl Violation Types, One Dashboard

Detect every category of secret mismanagement -- from exposed high-entropy values to orphaned credentials nobody owns.

Entropy

High-Entropy Detection

Shannon entropy scoring identifies secret values with high randomness -- the hallmark of API keys, access tokens, and private keys stored in the wrong place (metadata, descriptions, names).

Shannon entropy configurable threshold all fields
Duplicates

Duplicate Secret Detection

Identifies secrets that share the same value across different names, workspaces, or environments. Duplicate credentials indicate credential sprawl -- the same credential used in too many places.

cross-workspace value hash dedup report
Orphans

Orphaned Secret Detection

Finds secrets that have not been accessed in a configurable window and have no assigned owner. Orphaned secrets are candidates for rotation or deletion to reduce the attack surface.

last-accessed no owner cleanup workflow
Naming

Naming Convention Violations

Enforces configurable naming patterns across secrets. Violations are flagged with the expected pattern so operators can standardize naming to improve discoverability and policy matching.

Find Exposed Secrets Before They Find You

The scanner does not decrypt secret values to run entropy checks -- it operates on the ciphertext length and metadata to detect anomalies without exposing sensitive data during the scan process itself.

Every scan finding is recorded in the hash-chained audit log with the violation type, severity, and the identity of the user who ran the scan. Remediation actions (rotate, archive, acknowledge) are also logged so there is a complete chain from detection to resolution.
