Detected confidential information will be flagged as a secrets finding in the Nullify dashboard.

How does it work?
Nullify scans for diffs in your codebase to detect the presence of confidential information.

Nullify will sample this diff, detect the presence of personal information, and flag it as a secrets finding, with the category of Personal Information:
Note: all data in screenshots is fictional and generated from Fake Name Generator.
When Nullify detects PII, a new finding will be created in the Nullify dashboard with the affected line of code highlighted.
This feature is currently in alpha testing and available upon request.
