GitGuardian has launched an ownership feature in its NHI Governance product that automatically assigns and tracks owners for every non-human identity (service accounts, API keys, CI/CD tokens). The system analyzes integrated sources like IAM systems, cloud providers, and commit history to suggest up to five owners per identity. Manual overrides are fully supported, external users can be assigned without needing GitGuardian accounts, and a public API enables programmatic ownership management. The feature aims to eliminate the accountability gap during credential leak incidents, help clean up orphaned accounts, and simplify compliance audits for SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA.
