SECOPS

Scan pushes for leaked secrets and open a PagerDuty incident on verified hits

Scans every Git push for credential patterns, verifies each suspected secret is live, and opens a PagerDuty incident only for confirmed exposures so on-call sees real leaks.

What it does

On every push to a GitHub repo, this workflow scans the new commits' diffs for credential patterns (API keys, tokens, private keys, connection strings). For each suspected match it runs a lightweight validation to decide whether the secret is actually live, then opens a PagerDuty incident for confirmed leaks and stays silent on false positives.

When to use it

Use it when you want push-time secret detection that pages on-call only for real, exploitable exposures. It is the right fit for teams that already triage incidents in PagerDuty and are drowning in scanner noise from inert or already-rotated strings.

How it works

  1. 1A GitHub push event fires the workflow with the changed commit range.
  2. 2An action fetches each commit's diff from the GitHub API.
  3. 3A scan step matches the added lines against a curated set of secret regexes and entropy rules.
  4. 4A logic branch keeps only matches that pass a liveness probe (the key authenticates) and drops the rest.
  5. 5For each verified leak, a PagerDuty action opens an incident tagged with the repo, file, and commit SHA.
  6. 6The final output posts the incident link back as a GitHub commit status.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect GitHubRepos, issues, pull requests, actions.
  2. 2
    Connect PagerDutyIncidents, on-call, escalations.
  3. 3
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  4. 4
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  5. 5
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
