Security & Secrets Management

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. 1

    Credential Audit

    We find every hardcoded credential in your codebase, config files, and CI/CD pipelines before designing the vault structure.

  2. 2

    Vault Design

    Naming conventions, access tiers, and RBAC assignments mapped out — typically one vault per environment (dev/staging/prod).

  3. 3

    Migration & Integration

    Secrets migrated, application code updated to use managed identity references, and everything tested before the old configs are removed.

  4. 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.
