HCP Vault Secrets

HCP Vault Secrets is a SaaS-based secrets management platform designed to help developers centrally store, access, and synchronize secrets efficiently. As a managed offering of HashiCorp Vault, it aims to address challenges such as secret sprawl, security posture improvement, and maintaining development agility. The platform enables quick onboarding and is free to start.

HCP Vault Secrets centralizes the lifecycle management of secrets, reducing the need for multiple tools and context switching. It introduces a new domain model that groups secrets logically, making it easier to manage and scale. The platform supports both a pull model, where secrets are injected into local development workflows, and a push model, where secrets are synchronized from HCP Vault Secrets to external managers like AWS Secrets Manager.

The platform emphasizes developer flexibility, allowing secrets to be fetched via CLI, API, or UI, and injected into applications at runtime without code changes. It also enhances security by centralizing secret storage, reducing the risk of breaches, and providing advanced filtering and monitoring capabilities for better visibility and compliance with security best practices.

HCP Vault Secrets is fully managed by HashiCorp and available on the HashiCorp Cloud Platform, enabling users to get started quickly and sync their first secret in minutes.
