Summary

The HCP Vault Radar agent is a hybrid secret scanning solution that enables organizations to detect and remediate secrets, personally identifiable information (PII), and non-inclusive language within their own environment. It offers local scanning of code repositories and collaboration tools, CLI integration with existing CI/CD pipelines and secret managers like Vault, and metadata reporting back to HCP for risk visibility and correlation without exposing sensitive content. The agent operates in a hybrid model, running inside the organization's trust boundary, connecting securely to HCP Vault Radar, and performing scanning workflows. It supports auto-discovery of data sources for GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps, enabling continuous scanning of multiple repositories simultaneously. By delivering secure, contextual scanning with built-in correlation, the agent helps security teams understand the impact of secret exposure and make smarter decisions to prioritize unmanaged secrets, identify their origin, and avoid unnecessary disruption when remediating leaks. The solution provides transparent reporting throughout the scanning process, enabling real-time insight, audit readiness, and operational efficiency.
