CUSTOMER STORY · TRUFFLEHOG ENTERPRISE
Klaviyo cuts through the noise with TruffleHog Enterprise
Klaviyo, a leader in customer data and marketing automation, faced a critical challenge: securing thousands of developers working at high velocity without drowning in false alerts. The company needed a way to identify exposed sensitive keys, detect leaks early, and monitor collaboration tools like GitHub, Slack, and Google Workspace with verified, accurate alerts.
“When you’re dealing with secrets at scale, fidelity is everything. Other vendors often make you verify whether a finding is real. With TruffleHog Enterprise, we know with confidence when something is a secret and what it belongs to.”
Dominic Bunch, Security Engineering Manager, Klaviyo

01 · THE CHALLENGE
Accuracy at scale
Before TruffleHog Enterprise, Klaviyo’s security team used another solution and faced several obstacles in managing secrets exposure.
Scale constraints. Their existing solution imposed size limits and couldn’t scan the terabytes of data Klaviyo needed, making it impossible to achieve comprehensive coverage across their environment.
False positive overload. The previous approach generated an overwhelming number of false positives at scale, creating alert fatigue and making results difficult to operationalize.
Transparency and investigation gaps. The tools lacked visibility into detection logic and made it difficult to run quick, ad-hoc investigations — especially during active incidents when rapid response is critical.
02 · WHAT CHANGED
Built for precision and scale
Klaviyo selected TruffleHog Enterprise after a competitive review because it delivered verified secret detection, broad integration coverage, and transparent open-source roots. Klaviyo moved away from restrictive, “black-box” tools that prioritized alert volume over actual security value.
By switching to TruffleHog Enterprise, the team gained a transparent, high-speed engine that verifies secrets in real time. This allowed them to secure terabytes of data across GitHub, Slack, and Google Workspace without slowing down engineering velocity with unreliable detections.
“TruffleHog Enterprise doesn’t just tell us there’s a secret; it identifies what it is and where it came from. That makes the data actionable and builds genuine trust with our developers.”
Dominic Bunch, Security Engineering Manager, Klaviyo
03 · RESULTS
Reduced noise, stronger protection
200+
high-impact keys remediated across core systems
With TruffleHog Enterprise, Klaviyo has seen fewer false positives, saving engineering and analysis time; more automated protection with less manual validation; and confidence across the SDLC, from developer commits to cloud integrations.
Internal developers even began using TruffleHog directly in their workflows, making adoption smoother across the organization.
04 · PARTNERSHIP
Beyond the product, a true partnership
Klaviyo praised the collaboration with Truffle Security: hands-on support from working side by side with engineers, executive sponsorship that ensured alignment at leadership level, and rapid response and open communication that built a trusted partnership from day one.
While the immediate gains came from reducing false positives and cleaning up high-priority secrets, Klaviyo is already exploring new ways to extend TruffleHog Enteprise across its engineering environment. Today, Klaviyo enjoys faster remediation, fewer false alerts, and a developer community that embraces security as part of their daily workflows.
“The Truffle team was transparent and responsive. They earned our trust not just with the product, but with how they worked with us.”
Dominic Bunch, Security Engineering Manager, Klaviyo
