 ![Piper](https://github.com/SAP/credential-digger/blob/main/github_assets/piper.png)
 
 Credential Digger is intergrated with the continuous delivery CI/CD pipeline [Piper](https://www.project-piper.io/) in order to automate secrets scans for your Github projects and repositories.
 In order to activate the Credential Diggger Step please refer to this [Credential Digger step documentation for Piper](https://www.project-piper.io/steps/credentialdiggerScan/)
 
-### How Piper works with Jenkins
-
-- Once the step for credentialdigger is reached, its docker image is downloaded from the internal SAP registry. (A public instance will be avaialble soon)
-- Jenkins runs this container and runs a scan using credentialdigger, based on the step configuration. Indeed, the step supports full scan of a repo, scan of a snapshot and scan of a pull request. It is also supporting orchestrators.
-- The result of the scan (an excel file) is stored in Jenkins workspace as an output artifact
-- Jenkins destroys the container after the scan
-
-There is no need to deploy or install a Credential Digger instance !!
