Cremit finds the API keys and service-account credentials scattered across your code, cloud storage and collaboration tools, checks which exposed ones still work, and puts those at the top of your queue, so machine identity risk becomes a number you watch come down, not a pile you dig through.

Credential types detected and verified

Minute re-verification of every live secret
Non-human identity (NHI) security is the practice of discovering, verifying and controlling the credentials that software uses to authenticate: API keys, service accounts, access tokens, SSH keys and database passwords. It is also called machine identity security. Unlike human accounts, these identities rarely have an owner, an expiry date or MFA, so a leaked credential can be used silently for months. NHI security tooling builds an inventory of these identities, detects where they are exposed, checks whether an exposed credential still works, and drives rotation or revocation.
Cremit is a non-human identity (NHI) security platform built by Cremit Inc, a Seoul-based company founded in 2023. Its product, Argus, connects to code repositories, cloud storage and collaboration tools such as GitHub, GitLab, AWS S3, Google Drive, Slack, Jira, Confluence and Notion, finds exposed API keys, service account credentials and tokens, and verifies every finding against the service that issued it. Security teams use it to fix the credentials that still work first instead of triaging thousands of pattern matches.
Link GitHub, GitLab, AWS S3, Google Drive, Slack, Jira, Confluence or Notion with OAuth or a token. No agents to install.
Argus scans files, commit history, documents and messages for credential patterns, then checks each match against the issuing service to see whether it still authenticates.
Live findings are ranked and sent to Slack, a webhook, Telegram or email with location and owner context. You rotate or revoke; Argus re-verifies until the key no longer works.
Hardcoded keys, leaked tokens, and no way to tell which ones still work. Your team wastes time on firefighting and credential triage instead of shipping features.
Manual rotation required ASAP
A single exposed credential can compromise your entire infrastructure. Don't let manual management become your vulnerability.
Attackers exploit leaked keys within minutes.
Compromised credentials let attackers access your entire system.
Customer trust lost, years to recover.
Cremit covers discovery, live verification, blast-radius analysis for AWS and GCP keys, and incident response for your NHIs, so your team starts with the keys that still work.
Connect GitHub, Slack, Confluence, Notion and AWS S3 in minutes, plus GitLab, Bitbucket, Jira and Google Drive. Cremit builds one inventory of every credential it finds across them, so there is a single place to check.
Screenshots show illustrative data, not customer metrics.
Cremit builds a continuously updated inventory of every secret and API key found across your code, chats, docs, cloud storage and AWS Secrets Manager.
Stop tracking key age by hand. Cremit checks every secret in AWS Secrets Manager against your rotation policy and flags keys that are overdue or due soon.
Detect hardcoded secrets in code, chats, docs and cloud storage on every scheduled scan and every GitHub pull request, and verify whether each one is live. Supports 1,000+ secret types.
Every live finding opens an incident, alerts your channel and lands with an owner, tracked to closure with MTTD and MTTR.

"As media infrastructure moves to the cloud, credential management becomes exponentially more complex. Cremit gave us the visibility we needed to secure our GitLab environment and protect the cloud infrastructure that serves millions of viewers every day."
""As a startup CEO wearing multiple hats, I didn't have time to manually check for exposed credentials. Cremit found AWS keys I didn't even know were at risk and let me secure them before anything happened.""
"Before Cremit, we had no way of knowing where or how many credentials were exposed across our systems. Within a single day of deployment, we gained complete visibility into our entire environment, and every alert was a real threat — not a single false positive."
"As a solo security lead at a growing commerce company, I couldn't keep up with credential management across all our platforms. Cremit gave me the visibility and automation I needed to do my job effectively — without asking for more headcount."
"As we prepared for ISMS certification, Cremit helped us identify Google Cloud service keys we didn't even know were exposed. Securing these credentials not only reduced our risk but gave us the documented evidence we needed for the audit."
"Traditional vendors communicate via email or phone, but with Cremit we can quickly reach out through Slack Connect. Having a feature request implemented in just 15 minutes was truly impressive."

Whether you're securing your first repository or running an enterprise NHI program, Cremit shows you which credentials are live, where they are, and who owns them.
Secure your infrastructure in days, not months.
Configurable workflows that automate incident triage and routing.
Automate detection, verification and triage so teams can focus on remediation.
Every secret scanner hands you a big number, and almost nobody can act on it. When we verified each finding against the service that issued it, a five-figure detection count became a three-figure inventory of credentials that actually work. This is what that collapse means for how you prioritize, what you suppress, and what you tell your board.
We spent six months documenting why non-human identity (NHI) security fails in real organizations, from bug bounties that call leaked keys "out of scope" to the nine-part NHI Kill Chain. Argus is the product we built from what that research proved.
Secret scanners are notorious for burying teams in false alarms, and every ignored alert is a place a real breach can hide. This technical guide breaks down the two root causes of secret scanning false positives, why importing open-source rulesets makes them worse, and how active validation turns noisy findings into a signal your team can actually trust.
When a key leaks, most teams delete it first. That is the moment the evidence of where it reached disappears. Six phases for AWS, GCP and Azure, with a version-by-version diff of AWS's compromised-key quarantine policy.
Short answers to what people ask before starting on the free plan. The full list is on the FAQ page.
NHI security is finding, verifying and controlling the credentials machines use to authenticate, such as API keys, service accounts, tokens and SSH keys. Because these identities usually have no owner, expiry or MFA, a leaked one can stay usable for months, so the work is to inventory them, detect exposure, confirm which exposed credentials still work, and rotate or revoke them.
Cremit detects exposed credentials: cloud access keys for AWS, GCP and Azure, API keys and OAuth tokens for third-party services, database connection strings, SSH private keys and similar secrets, in source code, git history, documents, chat messages and cloud storage. It does not classify general sensitive data such as PII or business documents.
Each finding is checked against the service that issued the credential. A key that still authenticates is marked live and ranked first; one that has been revoked or has expired is recorded but not raised as an incident. This verification step is what removes most of the noise a pattern-only scanner produces.
Scan sources are GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, GitHub Packages (GHCR images), AWS S3, Google Drive, Jira, Confluence, Notion and Slack (messages and attachments). AWS (via CloudFormation) and GCP (via a service account) are connected for permission analysis. Alerts are delivered to Slack, a webhook, Telegram or email, and the platform supports SAML 2.0 / OIDC SSO, SCIM 2.0 provisioning (e.g. Okta) and Google Workspace directory sync.
No. Files are read during a scan and are not retained. Cremit keeps each finding's location, secret type and verification status, plus the credential value itself encrypted with AWS KMS (optionally your own customer-managed key), because re-verification needs it.
Sign up at argus.cremit.io on the free plan, no credit card, and connect your first source with a GitHub App, OAuth or a CloudFormation template. The first scan starts right away and any credential that is verified live goes to the top of the list. Paid and enterprise plans are available on request.
Connect your repos and clouds on the free plan. Cremit checks each exposed credential against the real provider and shows you the ones that still open something. No sales call needed.
