GitGuardian

What the company sells

GitGuardian sells a platform that detects secrets exposed in code repositories, CI/CD pipelines, container registries, and collaboration tools, and extends that detection to govern non-human identities such as service accounts, API keys, and AI agents. It was founded in 2017 as a French cybersecurity startup. The company is privately held and raised a $50 million Series C round in February 2026.
