The challenge
GitGuardian could see the scale of leaked secrets across public repositories, but the insight lived in dashboards, not in a form journalists or answer engines could cite.
Our approach
We shaped the raw data into an original, reproducible report with clear methodology and named findings, then published it under their brand ahead of the industry’s reporting cycle so they were the origin of the claim.
The result
The report was cited more than 40 times across trade and business press and surfaced repeatedly in AI-generated answers, because GitGuardian was the first and most specific source.
“Being first and being specific is what earned the citations. That was the whole strategy, and it worked.”
