OrderCheck connects interior construction companies with the service providers they hire, and the platform has grown faster than the team behind it. Ten people. The CEO carries security alongside product and strategy. None of that is unusual at this stage. It does mean a manual credential audit is the kind of task that gets scheduled and then slips: the answer changes with every commit, and there is no standing hour to go looking.
Deployment was agentless, so setting it up did not require pulling an engineer off the product. Cremit scanned the repositories and collaboration tools and returned exposed AWS keys.
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.
The scan found AWS keys committed during the build-fast stretch every early platform goes through. They were rotated. What changed after that is smaller and more useful: credential checks now run whether or not anyone remembers to run them, which is the only version of this that holds up at ten people.
