Secrets Management & Credential Vaulting

Secure Secrets Management & Vaulting

Eliminate Secrets Sprawl, Secure Access

The goal isn't a better vault. The goal is zero standing credentials: access that exists only when it's needed and stops existing the moment it isn't. For the majority of cloud, SaaS, and pipeline credentials, Britive achieves this through JIT provisioning. No persistent credential, no standing risk. 

But some credentials genuinely can't be replaced with ephemeral access. High-availability services that require persistent secrets. Time-based OTP seeds and MFA backups. Rotation-dependent credentials for systems that can't tolerate downtime. For these, Britive provides the Britive Secrets Manager, a cloud-native vault built into the same platform, under the same policy model, with the same audit trail.

What Britive's Secrets Manager Does

Grant all identities ephemeral, automatically expiring access to secrets without introducing friction to existing workflows.

Centralized, Auditable Secrets Vault

Store all types of secrets — passwords, API keys, tokens, certificates, and text blobs — in dedicated vaults. Access is provisioned only upon request and governed by the same policy engine that governs ephemeral JIT access. Every access event is logged with named-identity attribution. No shared vault accounts. No ambiguous audit trail.

Delivery via Web UI, API, and CLI

Secrets are delivered through the channel that fits the workflow with a web interface for human access, a REST API for programmatic consumption, and the PyBritive CLI for terminal-native workflows and CI/CD pipelines. No special client software required. No credentials to copy or handle manually.

Policy-Based Access Governance

Define granular access policies around who can access which secrets, when, and under what conditions. The same ABAC policy model that governs JIT access applies to secrets: identity context, device posture, approval chains, time constraints, and ticket validation. Access is automatically logged for compliance reporting and integrates with SIEM tools for advanced visibility.

TOTP Seed and MFA Backup Storage

Securely store and manage TOTP seeds, recovery keys, and MFA backups. Enforce strong authentication practices without exposing sensitive credentials or creating shared access patterns.

JIT Secrets for Agentic AI, CI/CD Pipelines, and NHI

For human, Agentic AI, and non-human identities secrets are dynamically provisioned at runtime and expire automatically. No hardcoded credentials. No shared service account secrets. Each pipeline run, each agent session, and each workload execution gets exactly the secret it needs for exactly as long as it needs it.

Standing Credentials Replaced, Not Just Managed

The default for any credential that can be ephemeral is JIT provisioning with no persistent secret, and no standing risk. The vault handles the exceptions for a smaller attack surface and a cleaner, more secure secrets inventory. Credentials that don't persist between uses can't be stolen at rest. 

One Policy Model Across All Credential Types

The same access policy that governs who gets a JIT AWS role also governs who gets a secret from the vault. No separate policy language to maintain. No separate audit trail to reconcile. One platform, one model, one view of privileged access across your entire environment. 

Maintain Current Compliance Evidence

Every secret access event is logged with named-identity attribution, not just a shared vault account. SOC 2, PCI DSS v4.0, HIPAA, and NIST requirements are satisfied continuously, not assembled under deadline. The audit trail is always queryable. Evidence on demand. 

No Friction Between Vault and JIT

With legacy architectures, the vault and the JIT tool are separate products from separate vendors, often requiring integration maintenance, separate audit exports, and headcount to manage the seam between them. Britive eliminates that friction, with secrets management and JIT access through the same platform.
