Contextual Secret Scanning
Clutch discovers and controls hidden secrets across code and configs
The Challenge
Secrets like API keys, tokens, passwords, and certificates are often hardcoded or mismanaged across codebases, config files, CI/CD pipelines, and containers. These hidden credentials are frequently left untracked and exposed - slipping through the cracks of visibility and control.
Even when traditional scanners detect them, they typically trigger alert fatigue: floods of findings without context. There's no indication of which secrets are still active or what systems they can access - leaving dangerous entry points for attackers and compliance blind spots for defenders.

Prioritized remediation
based on the understanding of actual risk and potential blast radius
clutch.security
Clutch empowers you to scale securely and effectively by eliminating blind spots - uncovering unmanaged, hidden, or risky credentials before they become entry points.
Stop Secret Sprawl
at the Source
Prevent credential exposure across engineering and DevOps by enforcing hygiene where risk begins: in the code.
Prioritize Real Risk,
Not Noise
Reduce alert fatigue with advanced detection logic, context-rich alerts, and policy-driven remediations that automate revocation, quarantine leaked secrets, and assign owners with built-in workflows.
Reduce the Attack Surface,
Meet Compliance
Catch critical exposures before attackers do. Streamline audit-readiness with clear ownership and traceability. Drastically reduce Mean Time to Remediation (MTTR) - from days to hours - while maintaining continuous compliance and minimizing risk.
Developer Efficiency,
Without Disruption
Boost developer productivity by eliminating alert fatigue and remediation time - enabling teams to stay focused on delivering features, driving innovation, and maintaining operational resilience.
