Rivac LabsSecrets & Credential Hygiene Engineer
Every company accumulates credentials faster than it retires them — API keys, service tokens, database passwords, cloud access keys — scattered across repos, config files, and password managers with no single owner. This service builds full lifecycle management for secrets and credentials: detection of what's currently exposed, centralized vaulting, automated rotation on a real schedule, and a defined response process for when a leak happens anyway. It's for teams that have never had a systematic answer to "who has access to what, and when did it last rotate." The outcome is a credential environment where exposure is caught in minutes and rotation happens automatically, not manually and six months overdue.
How We’d Approach This
A clear, staged plan — not a black box
- 1
Diagnose all current secrets and credentials across repos, infrastructure, and services to build a full exposure inventory.
- 2
Pilot vaulting and rotation on the highest-risk credentials — production database and cloud admin access — first.
- 3
Review the vaulting architecture and rotation schedule with engineering and ops before the full rollout.
- 4
Operate ongoing detection, rotation, and leak-response as the standard process for all new and existing credentials.
