SecretSieve

SecretSieve is a developer-first secret leak prevention tool that runs as a lightweight git hook and CI gate. It scans staged changes for API keys, tokens, private keys, connection strings, and high-risk config patterns before they ever land in a repo. Unlike heavy platforms, it focuses on speed and low false positives: it uses deterministic detectors, repo-specific allowlists, and context-aware rules (e.g., test fixtures vs production). A small web dashboard lets teams manage policies, exceptions, and audit trails, while the core scanner stays local and offline-friendly. It supports GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket pipelines with copy-paste templates. Realistically, this won’t replace full AppSec suites; it’s a narrow tool meant to prevent one of the most common, expensive mistakes with minimal friction and minimal setup.
