Meta description: Learn how Code Vanta migrates organizations to centralized secrets with Vault, KMS, and OPA-backed policies in under a month.

30-Day Migration Plan

  • Week 1: Inventory secrets, score risk, and deploy temporary brokers.
  • Week 2: Stand up Vault/KMS, sync dynamic credentials, and automate rotation.
  • Week 3: Enforce policy-as-code (OPA / Sentinel) tied to CI/CD approvals.
  • Week 4: Instrument audit trails and compliance evidence for SOC 2 / ISO 27001.

Compliance & Evidence Automation

By integrating scanners (Trivy, Snyk) and SIEM exports, every secrets change is documented with tamper-proof provenance, expediting audits.
