Secrets Management
Secrets are everywhere: in code, in pipelines, in config files. And if they’re not managed properly, they turn into security risks fast.
We walks you through what Secrets Management actually means, why it’s critical for modern infrastructure, and how we help you build a setup that keeps your credentials secure without slowing your teams down.
What Is Secrets Management?
Secrets Management is about keeping sensitive credentials safe like API keys, passwords, tokens, certificates, all that stuff. The things that connect your apps to each other, or to your infrastructure.
The problem? These “secrets” often end up in the wrong place. Hardcoded into scripts. Left in plain text in config files. Shared over Slack. Or just… forgotten. And that’s where the risk creeps in.
Secrets Management helps you fix that by putting all your credentials in one secure place: a vault, basically and controlling exactly who or what can access them. Not just people, but apps, containers and pipelines.
It also lets you automate things like secret rotation so credentials don’t sit there untouched for years. And every access is logged, so if something weird happens, you’ve got the full trail.
Why Secrets Management Actually Matters
It’s easy to overlook secrets: until one leaks. And then it’s a problem. Not just for security, but for compliance, availability, and trust.
Here’s why this stuff matters:
You’re Reducing Risk
If a hardcoded password makes it into a public repo (it happens more than you’d think), or an old API key never gets rotated, you’ve basically handed someone a key to the building. Secrets Management helps close those gaps automatically.
It’s Not Just About Devs
Sure, a lot of this lives in code. But secrets are everywhere used by infrastructure tools, CI/CD pipelines, third-party integrations, you name it. If you’re not managing them properly, you’re trusting that everyone remembers to “do it right.” That’s not a strategy.
You’ll Need to Prove It
Regulations like ISO 27001, NIS2, and even customer security questionnaires expect secrets to be managed. Stored securely. Access controlled. Rotated. Logged. Without a solution in place, that’s hard to prove or even track.
You Can Automate the Pain Away
Manual secret handling doesn’t scale. Secrets Management helps you automate storage, access, and rotation. That means fewer mistakes, less manual work, and a more secure baseline without slowing teams down.
Secrets Management Services That Actually Work
There’s no shortage of tools out there claiming to “secure your secrets.” But what actually matters is how it fits into your day-to-day: your pipelines, your apps, your people. That’s where we come in.
Here’s what we help you build:
Centralized Secret Storage
We help you move secrets out of config files, Git repos, and spreadsheets, and into a secure, encrypted vault. One place. Fully controlled. Easy to audit.
Access Control
Not everyone (or every app) should see every secret. We help you define fine-grained access based on roles, systems, environments so secrets are only available to those who actually need them.
Secret Rotation & Expiry
Credentials shouldn’t live forever. We help you set up automatic rotation for things like database passwords, API tokens, SSH keys based on real policies and timelines. No more “we forgot to change it.”
Integration With Dev & Ops Workflows
Secrets should work with your tools, not against them. Whether you’re using Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, or custom apps we help integrate secrets into your workflows so they’re injected securely, not hardcoded.
Logging & Auditing
Who accessed what, when, and why? With proper logging, you’ll have full visibility critical for incident response, compliance, and peace of mind. And yes, it’s all exportable.
Why Choose Kommando for Secrets Management?
You don’t just need a vault. You need a strategy that fits your environment, scales with your teams, and doesn’t get in the way of shipping code. That’s what we help with.
We’ve Been There
Hardcoded secrets, forgotten keys, last-minute audit scrambles- We’ve seen it all. We know where things break down and how to fix them without slowing your team to a halt.
Built for Your Stack
We don’t push a one-size-fits-all solution. Whether you’re cloud-native, hybrid, or somewhere in between, we help you design a setup that works with your tools, not against them: AWS, Azure, GCP, Terraform, Vault, CyberArk, you name it.
Pragmatic, Not Overbuilt
Some teams just need basic vaulting with rotation. Others need full policy frameworks, access controls, and audit trails across multiple business units. We meet you where you are, and grow with you.
We’re In It With You
We’re not just here to install a tool and move on. We stick around helping you plan, implement, fine-tune, train your team, and handle the stuff that comes up after go-live. Because that’s when the real work starts
Let’s Take the Guesswork Out of Secrets
If secrets are scattered, hardcoded, or barely tracked. It’s only a matter of time before it becomes a problem. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
With Kommando, you get a practical, secure way to store, manage, and rotate secrets without slowing anyone down. We’ll help you build a setup that works in real life, not just in diagrams.
