Secrets Management Implementation (HashiCorp Vault)
Replace hardcoded credentials, .env files, and plaintext secrets with HashiCorp Vault or AWS Secrets Manager. Dynamic secrets, automatic rotation, full audit trail.
Deploy and configure HashiCorp Vault (or AWS Secrets Manager) for your infrastructure: dynamic database credentials, API key management, PKI certificate automation, and Kubernetes secret injection. Eliminates hardcoded credentials and provides a full audit trail of secrets access. Fixed price €1,800–3,600.
📋Why this service exists
Article 32(1)(b) requires ensuring the ongoing confidentiality of systems processing personal data. Hardcoded credentials and unrotated secrets are the #1 cause of data breaches — attackers routinely scan for exposed .env files and API keys in code repositories.
