Saptarshi Mandal developed and integrated a pre-commit secret scanning workflow for the NHSDigital/identity-service-jwks repository, focusing on enhancing security hygiene and delivery quality. Using bash scripting and git hooks, Saptarshi implemented Gitleaks to automatically scan for hard-coded secrets before code is committed, reducing the risk of secrets leakage in local development environments. The solution included supporting scripts and configurations to ensure seamless adoption by the team. While no major bugs were addressed during this period, the work established a foundation for automated policy enforcement in CI/CD pipelines, demonstrating a thoughtful approach to security best practices and compliance readiness.
