Software supply chain security for GitHub
Enable real-time DLP in GitHub capable of finding malware, passwords, secrets, keys, dependency risks, and other sensitive data exposed within your code repositories and comments as new software is written. Conduct scans on demand or automatically whenever a repository changes. Polymer, in partnership with Phylum, is a complete shift-left solution for your software development lifecycle (SDLC).

Sustainable sensitive data management
Data classification
Polymer actively monitors and automatically classifies data that’s important to your organization in real-time as developers work in GitHub. Reduce false positives with context mapping.
Flexible remediation
Polymer aligns with your existing operational workflows and can take automatic remediation action when policy violations occur. Tailor your approach to block commits, require approval, or reject pull requests..
Employee training & nudges
Polymer has point-of-violation warnings to inform employees of policy violations and reduce the occurrence of ongoing risky behavior via active learning.
Historic scans
Polymer provides the ability to scan all GitHub repositories historically from inception for a comprehensive risk assessment.
Pre-built data policies
Polymer provides pre-built policy frameworks that can quickly be applied for HIPAA, PCI, SOC 2, CCPA, ISO 27001, CMMC2.0, and GLBA compliance.
Risk scan & scores
Polymer’s risk scanning and scoring help your security team identify and prioritize the GitHub repositories and users that pose the greatest risk.
Custom SOC workflows
Polymer gives you the option to monitor and take action on all GitHub security events through email, Slack message, or Jira ticket alerts.
Advanced entity detection
Polymer’s detection engine combines regex and natural language processing (NLP) to improves detection accuracy.
Multi-language support
Polymer identifies sensitive data in 40+ languages, covering global identifiers for 100+ countries.
I like to think of traditional DLP as file loss prevention, but the Polymer product protects the data…it protects the actual information.
