Azure Key Vault
If your connection strings are sitting in web.config files, appsettings.json, or worse — in a Slack message someone sent months ago — that's a breach waiting to happen. Azure Key Vault gives you one secure place to store every secret your applications need, with controlled access, a full audit log for every read, and automatic rotation so credentials don't sit unchanged for years.
- Secrets
- Certificates
- Auto Rotation
- RBAC
Centralizing secrets does more than improve security — it simplifies deployments. When a database password rotates, one update in Key Vault propagates to every application that references it. No code deployments, no coordinating with multiple teams.
What We Actually Build
The two most common security problems we encounter: hardcoded credentials in source code (which ends up in version control and is hard to purge), and shared service accounts nobody wants to rotate because it might break something. Key Vault solves both.
Secret & Key Storage
Application secrets, API keys, connection strings, and encryption keys stored encrypted at rest with hardware-backed protection.
Automatic Key Rotation
Secrets rotate on a schedule with zero downtime — Event Grid triggers notify your apps when a new version is available.
RBAC Access Control
Granular access policies using Azure RBAC — each app or service gets only the secrets it needs, using managed identities where possible.
Full Audit Logging
Every read, write, and delete logged with timestamp, identity, and IP address — available in Azure Monitor for compliance audits.
How We Work
- 1
Credential Audit
We find every hardcoded credential in your codebase, config files, and CI/CD pipelines before designing the vault structure.
- 2
Vault Design
Naming conventions, access tiers, and RBAC assignments mapped out — typically one vault per environment (dev/staging/prod).
- 3
Migration & Integration
Secrets migrated, application code updated to use managed identity references, and everything tested before the old configs are removed.
- 4
Rotation & Monitoring
Auto-rotation configured, expiry alerts set up, and a runbook created for the secret types that need manual rotation steps.
What You Get
Key Vault deployed per environment with proper naming and tagging
All application secrets migrated from config files and version control
Managed identity references configured in your applications
RBAC assignments documented and implemented
Auto-rotation policies configured for supported secret types
Audit logging and expiry alert configuration
Who This Is For
Dev teams with secrets in source code
We audit your repos, extract every hardcoded credential into Key Vault, and update application references — the fix is structural, not just a policy reminder.
Enterprises preparing for security audits
Auditors want to see centralized credential management with access logs and evidence of rotation. Key Vault gives you both, with the reports to show for it.
Multi-app platforms sharing database credentials
Instead of every application holding its own copy of the connection string, they all reference Key Vault — one rotation updates them all simultaneously.
