GitGuardian FAQ
Common questions about GitGuardian, answered from independent, dated evidence.
What is GitGuardian?
A platform that scans code repositories, CI/CD pipelines, containers, and infrastructure for exposed credentials and machine identities, providing real-time detection with automated remediation and incident management workflows. It is indexed under DevSecOps Tools.
How much does GitGuardian cost?
GitGuardian does not publish its prices. Pricing is quoted on request, across 3 plans (Free, Growth and Enterprise), so the figure depends on your seat count and requirements. We record this as a pricing-transparency signal rather than guessing a number. Pricing changes often, so verify at source before relying on it.
What platforms does GitGuardian support?
GitGuardian supports the web and a command-line interface. Platforms we have not confirmed are simply not listed here rather than ruled out.
Can GitGuardian be self-hosted?
Yes. GitGuardian can be deployed cloud / SaaS and self-hosted, so it does not have to run on the vendor's infrastructure.
What does GitGuardian integrate with?
We have confirmed 20 integrations for GitGuardian, including GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure Repos, Azure DevOps, Jira, Slack and ServiceNow, plus 12 more. This is what we could verify from public sources, so the vendor may support others we have not indexed.
What security certifications does GitGuardian have?
We have independently confirmed SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR for GitGuardian. Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as GitGuardian not holding them. Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.
Where is GitGuardian available?
GitGuardian is available worldwide. Its primary markets are the United States and the EU.

The vioscaleAI score: one lens on the evidence
Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for GitGuardian, not the verdict.
