Secrets and Dependency Hygiene Sprint

We find the credentials committed to your repositories, rotate them, and set up scanning so it stops happening.

Delivered in

6 working days

Revisions

One round, included

Ownership

Yours from day one

Overview

What this engagement is

Almost every codebase that has never been scanned contains a live credential somewhere in its history. Deleting the file does not help, because the commit is still there. We scan the full history of your repositories, verify which found secrets are still valid, and help you rotate them in the right order so nothing breaks. Alongside that, we sort out dependency hygiene: outdated packages with known vulnerabilities, an upgrade path that will not consume a month, and automated scanning so the next problem is caught on the pull request.

Deliverables

What lands in your repositories

7 items
  • Full git history secret scan across up to 20 repositories
  • Verified list of live credentials with a prioritised rotation order
  • Secrets migrated to a manager, such as AWS Secrets Manager or Doppler
  • Dependency vulnerability report with a realistic upgrade sequence
  • Pre-commit hooks and pipeline scanning to block future secret commits
  • Dependabot or Renovate configured with sensible grouping rules
  • Short written guide on handling secrets for your team

Outcomes

What changes once it ships

Live credentials removed from places that should never have held them

Vulnerable dependencies identified with a sequence you can actually follow

Future secret commits blocked before they reach the remote

Process

How the 4 stages run

  1. 01

    Scan

    repository history and current branches swept for credentials

  2. 02

    Verify

    each finding tested to see whether it is still live

  3. 03

    Rotate

    credentials replaced in a sequence that avoids outages

  4. 04

    Prevent

    scanning, hooks and update automation put in place

Booked most often by

  • Teams that have never scanned their repository history
  • Companies opening a private repository to contractors
  • Anyone whose dependency updates have been deferred for a year or more

What we need from you

  • Read access to the repositories in scope, including archived ones
  • Someone able to rotate credentials in each connected service
  • A short window to coordinate rotation of anything production-critical

These are collected in the technical brief that opens in your dashboard the moment payment clears. The clock starts when they arrive, not before.

Answers

Questions this engagement raises

We can, but it rewrites history and disrupts every clone. Rotation is usually the better answer and we will explain why for your case.

Treat it as compromised and rotate immediately. We prioritise those on day one.

Yes, including npm, Composer and PyPI mirrors where you provide access.

This is engineering work, not a physical product — nothing ships and there is no stock to run out of. Delivery is to the working days stated above, into systems you control, and the refund terms set out what happens if we miss the date.
