Secrets Management

Machines outnumber humans. Secure them the same way.

Overview

Machines outnumber humans. Secure them the same way.

Static credentials in code, config and CI/CD pipelines are the quiet majority of privileged access. We deploy Idira Secrets Hub, Secrets Manager and the Central Credential Provider so applications retrieve secrets at runtime instead of storing them.

The components, and what we do with them

Secrets Manager (Conjur)self-hosted · SaaS

Policy-as-code secrets store for applications, containers and pipelines, with machine identity authenticated by platform-native methods rather than by another secret.

  • Policy-as-code (YAML) and RBAC
  • Authenticators: Kubernetes, AWS IAM, Azure, JWT, OIDC
  • Followers for read scale and HA
  • Audit trail per secret and host
Secrets Hubsync

Syncs vault-managed secrets into AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault and GCP Secret Manager so cloud-native apps use native SDKs while rotation and ownership stay central.

  • One-way sync from Privilege Cloud safes
  • Per-account, per-region sync policies
  • Native SDK consumption, no app change
  • Rotation reflected in cloud stores
Central Credential ProviderCCP · CP · ASCP

Runtime credential retrieval for applications and scripts over REST, agent or SDK, with app authentication by path, hash, OS user, certificate or address.

  • AIM web service with client-certificate auth
  • Credential Provider agent and ASCP for app servers
  • Application onboarding patterns and libraries
  • Removal of hard-coded credentials
Pipeline & container deliveryDevSecOps

Native retrieval in Jenkins, GitLab, GitHub Actions, Kubernetes (Secrets Provider, sidecar, ESO) and Terraform so secrets never land in code, images or logs.

  • Kubernetes Secrets Provider and Summon
  • Terraform and Ansible integration
  • Short-lived credentials for CI runners
  • Secretless patterns where supported
Secrets discoveryscanning

Find hard-coded and unmanaged secrets across repositories, configuration and images before an attacker does, then bring them under management.

  • Repository and config scanning
  • Prioritised remediation backlog
  • Rotation of exposed secrets
  • Guardrails to prevent regression
Rotation without downtimeoperations

Dual-account and dependency-aware rotation so credential change never breaks the application that depends on it.

  • Dual-account rotation patterns
  • Dependency mapping
  • Rotation windows and rollback
  • Service account governance
Architecture & integration

Deployment

  • Secrets Manager SaaS or self-hosted leader/follower
  • Secrets Hub connected to Privilege Cloud
  • CCP behind load balancers with client certificates
  • Network paths from clusters and pipelines

Identity for machines

  • Kubernetes service accounts and JWT
  • AWS IAM roles and Azure managed identities
  • Certificate-based app authentication
  • Host factory and enrolment

Governance

  • Policy-as-code in source control
  • Ownership per application and team
  • Audit to SIEM
  • Break-glass for pipelines
What we deliver

Capabilities

Secrets Hub synchronisationVault-managed secrets synced into AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault and GCP without duplicating ownership.
Application credential deliveryCCP and Credential Provider integration so applications authenticate and fetch credentials at runtime.
CI/CD and container integrationNative retrieval from Jenkins, GitLab, GitHub Actions, Kubernetes and Terraform pipelines.
Secrets discoveryFind hard-coded and unmanaged secrets across repositories and environments before an attacker does.
Rotation without downtimeDual-account and dependency-aware rotation so credential change does not break the application.
Developer enablementPatterns and libraries your developers will actually use instead of route around.
Our approach

How we approach secrets management

Secrets programmes fail when they are imposed on developers. Ours start with the pipeline your team already runs and add the retrieval pattern that fits it, so adoption happens because it is easier, not because it is mandated.

Ready to reduce identity risk?

If privileged access is hard to explain or credentials are hard to control, your organisation is exposed. That risk can be reduced with the right design and hands-on delivery.

How we work

These principles guide every engagement

They define how we design, deliver and operate identity security for our customers.

Certified, not just familiar

Guardian-led, with CDE credentials across PAM, Privilege Cloud, EPM and Secrets Manager, kept current on every release.

Architect-led delivery

Design is reviewed and signed off before anything is built, so what goes live is what was agreed.

Written scope, fixed price

Deliverables, timeline and price in writing before work starts. No open-ended retainers.

Enablement built in

Your team is trained during delivery, so what we build does not depend on us to keep running.

What we walk into

Sound familiar?

The situations that start most of our engagements — in the words we hear them.

Enterprise · secrets
“Human access is vaulted. Application credentials are still in config files.”
Financial services · migration
“We want Privilege Cloud but cannot lose session history in the migration.”
Manufacturing · plugins
“Three of our critical applications have no supported CPM platform, so they were skipped.”
Technology · cloud access
“Every AWS account has a permanent admin role. We know it is wrong and have not had time to fix it.”
