Monitor sensitive data [3**-** ***7] that resides in code

Practitioners should implement monitoring systems to detect sensitive data embedded in code repositories, which helps prevent unintended exposure or regulatory violations. Code-based secret detection and data loss prevention reduce the risk of credentials, API keys, and other protected information being committed to version control systems.

Why it matters: Development teams and security practitioners need to prevent credential leaks and compliance violations by scanning code for embedded secrets before deployment or public exposure.
