+#### :guardsman: Secrets Detection Setup and Update
+The PDS uses [Detect Secrets](Detect Secrets](https://nasa-ammos.github.io/slim/docs/guides/software-lifecycle/security/secrets-detection/)) to help prevent committing information to a repository that should remain secret.
+
+For Detect Secrets to work, there is a one-time setup required to your personal global Git configuration, as well as several steps to create or update the **required** `.secrets.baseline` file needed to avoid false positive failures of the software. See [the wiki entry on Detect Secrets](https://github.com/NASA-PDS/nasa-pds.github.io/wiki/Git-and-Github-Guide#detect-secrets) to learn how to do this.

-You can then establish a secrets baseline in your Maven-based repository:
-
-    detect-secrets scan . \
-        --all-files \
-        --disable-plugin AbsolutePathDetectorExperimental \
-        --exclude-files '\.secrets..*' \

-        --exclude-files '\.pre-commit-config\.yaml' \
-        --exclude-files 'target' > .secrets.baseline
-
-Review the secrets to determine which should be allowed and which are false positives:
-
-    detect-secrets audit .secrets.baseline
-
-Please remove any secrets that should not be seen by the public. You can then add the baseline file to the commit:
-
-    git add .secrets.baseline
+See Detect Secrets information above to setup your secrets baseline prior to proceeding.
