SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Organizations struggle with credential sprawl, stale secrets, and insecure rotation practices across multi-cloud environments, leading to risk exposure and compliance gaps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Inventory and audit all credentials across AWS, Azure, and GCP to identify long-lived keys, tokens, and secrets.
  • Eliminate long-lived credentials by adopting IAM roles, managed identities, and workload identities with automated rotation and short TTLs.
  • Implement end-to-end rotation, revocation, and alerting workflows for databases, JWT signing keys, third-party API keys, and service accounts.
  • Use cases include cloud migration, incident remediation, and SOC 2 / HIPAA / PCI compliance program enablement.

Quick Start

Initialize the credential lifecycle by answering the six profile questions in the setup flow to tailor rotation, audit, and alerting policies for your cloud environment.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate cloud credential lifecycle management across AWS, Azure, and GCP?

Automate cloud credential lifecycle management by inventorying credentials and configuring automated rotation, short TTLs, and revocation workflows across AWS, Azure, and GCP using provider-native services. This eliminates long-lived keys and aligns with SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI requirements.

What is the best way to eliminate long-lived credentials in a multi-cloud environment?

Eliminate long-lived credentials in a multi-cloud environment by adopting IAM roles, managed identities, and workload identities with short TTLs and automated rotation. This approach replaces static keys and tokens to reduce risk exposure and close compliance gaps.

How do I start configuring automated credential rotation for my cloud environment?

Start configuring automated credential rotation by answering six profile questions in the setup flow. This tailors rotation, audit, and alerting policies to your specific cloud environment before enforcing ownership and automated workflows.

Does automated credential rotation work for SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI compliance programs?

Automated credential rotation works for SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI compliance programs by enforcing ownership, rotation schedules, and automated revocation workflows. This ensures secrets management aligns with regulatory requirements.

Can I audit all existing credentials and secrets across AWS, Azure, and GCP?

Yes, you can audit all existing credentials across AWS, Azure, and GCP. The inventory process identifies long-lived keys, tokens, and secrets to highlight stale credentials and insecure rotation practices that require remediation.
