Automated secret exposure auditing and rotation alert dashboard
Problem
Development teams of 5–30 employees managing secrets across .env files, hardcoded API keys, and CI/CD variables fail to maintain visibility over secrets scattered across an average of 3–5 repositories, resulting in 1–2 key leak incidents per year. Post-leak response takes an average of 8–16 hours and is accompanied by service downtime.
Solution
Scans GitHub/GitLab repositories to detect secret exposure risks and provides a unified dashboard with key rotation cycle alerts and per-environment (.env, CI/CD, cloud) secret status. Core features: (1) Automated repo scanning — regex + entropy-based detection, (2) Secret rotation expiry alerts (Slack/Discord), (3) Per-environment secret inventory matrix.
