Machine identities like service accounts, API keys, and CI/CD tokens often have no clear owner, creating dangerous accountability gaps during security incidents. GitGuardian's NHI Governance now includes an ownership feature that automatically suggests owners by analyzing IAM systems, cloud provider data, commit history, and incident records. Owners can be manually overridden, assigned to external users, or managed via API. The feature aims to speed up incident response, reduce orphaned accounts, and simplify compliance audits for SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA.
