SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Audits secret handling, environment configuration, rotation practices, and accidental exposure risks. Use when reviewing repositories, deployment configs, CI, or incident follow-up.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Secrets management checks: ensure secrets are not in code, verify secret managers usage.
  • Config hygiene: environment-specific configurations and secure rotation.
  • Use Case: When reviewing a codebase after onboarding or during incident response to verify credentials and configs.

Quick Start

Run a focused audit against your repositories, deployment configs, and CI pipelines to identify exposed secrets.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit my codebase for exposed secrets and configuration risks?

Auditing environment variables for secret leaks involves scanning code and deployment configurations to verify secrets are not hardcoded. The audit enforces environment-specific configurations and ensures sensitive values are securely managed within designated secret managers.

What is the best way to check if secrets are properly stored in a secret manager during code reviews?

Checking if secrets are properly stored in a secret manager involves verifying that code and deployment configurations contain no hardcoded credentials. The audit enforces routing all sensitive values through approved secret management systems instead of plaintext files.

How do I verify secret rotation schedules and access logs during incident response?

Verifying secret rotation schedules and access logs during incident response requires auditing your secret handling practices. The audit checks for secure rotation policies and validates that all credential access is tracked through auditable access logs.

Can I use this to enforce environment-specific configuration hygiene across CI/CD pipelines?

Yes, you can enforce environment-specific configuration hygiene across CI/CD pipelines. The audit evaluates deployment configurations to confirm environment variables are properly separated and rotated according to your defined schedule.
