Monitor GitHub organization access and offboarding
Continuous visibility into your GitHub org, repositories, members, and outside collaborators — including the access nobody remembered to revoke.
Your GitHub organization is where your most sensitive intellectual property lives, and access to it accumulates faster than anyone reviews it. Engineers get added to teams, contractors are invited as outside collaborators on a single private repo, and bot accounts pick up admin rights for a deploy that shipped two years ago. Each grant made sense at the time. Together they become an attack surface nobody can describe from memory.
The default GitHub experience makes this worse. Membership lives in the org settings, repository access is buried per-repo, and outside collaborators are a separate list entirely. To answer a simple question — who can reach this private repository, and should they? — you'd click through dozens of screens and still miss the outside collaborator added directly to a single repo.
Outpost replaces that with a single, continuously-synced inventory. It reads your organization through a GitHub App installation — read-only, scoped to the repositories you choose — and surfaces every member and their role, every team, every collaborator, and the security posture of each repository. You can finally see your whole org's access in one place and search it like the asset it is.
Catch GitHub access that outlives employment
The most dangerous GitHub access is the access that should already be gone. An engineer leaves, HR closes their accounts, but their GitHub membership — and the private-repo access that came with it — quietly survives. Outside collaborators are worse still: a contractor's personal GitHub account, invited to one repo, isn't tied to any offboarding checklist at all.
Outpost is built around catching exactly this. Because it links each GitHub account and collaborator grant back to the person behind it, the moment someone is marked as departed, their lingering organization membership, team access, and repository grants surface for review. You don't have to remember that the contractor still has access to the payments service — Outpost remembers for you.
That's the difference between hoping offboarding was complete and proving it. Outpost turns "who still has access to our GitHub?" from a manual audit nobody has time for into a question you can answer continuously.
What Outpost detects
Everything we surface from your GitHub workspace.
Organization members and roles
Outpost syncs every member of your GitHub organization with their role — owner or member — plus the teams they belong to, so you can see exactly who holds admin power over your code.
Outside collaborators
Outpost surfaces accounts that aren't org members but still have access to your repositories, and counts both direct and outside collaborators on every repo so unmanaged access can't hide.
Repository access and visibility
For each repository Outpost tracks visibility (public, private, or internal), the teams and collaborators with access, branch protection, rulesets, and security settings like secret scanning and Dependabot.
Assets we track
Outpost creates and maintains these asset types from your GitHub data.
How it works
1
Connect
Install the Outpost GitHub App on your organization. You choose whether it sees all repositories or a selected subset — Outpost only ever reads, it never pushes code or changes settings.
2
Discover
Outpost inventories your organization, its repositories, members, teams, and collaborators, and creates assets you can search, filter, and review in one place.
3
Monitor
Membership, roles, collaborator access, and repository posture are re-synced continuously, so changes to who can reach your code are tracked over time.
4
Offboard
When an employee leaves, Outpost links their identity to the GitHub accounts and collaborator grants they still hold, so lingering access surfaces instead of sitting unnoticed.
Frequently asked questions
Connect your GitHub organization to Outpost and it inventories every member with their role, the teams they belong to, and the repositories they can reach — including outside collaborators who aren't org members. Instead of clicking through GitHub's settings repo by repo, you get one searchable view of who can access what.
Outpost continuously syncs your GitHub members and collaborators and links each account to the person behind it. When someone is offboarded, their lingering GitHub organization membership and repository access is flagged for review, so admin rights and private-repo access don't outlive their employment.
Yes. Outpost surfaces outside collaborators — accounts with repository access that aren't members of your organization — and counts both direct and outside collaborators on every repo, including private and internal ones, so contractor and one-off access can't quietly persist.
