Most organizations underestimate the number of vaults, secrets, and unmanaged credentials they have. This quick health check helps Security and DevOps uncover blind spots in visibility, rotation, and audit readiness. You'll get tailored feedback immediately---and the option to validate the results with a free secrets scan. How many secret stores/vaults does your company operate? \* 1 (centrally owned by security) 2-3 (mixed ownership) 4-9 (multiple teams/lines of business) 10+ (global or business-unit sprawl) Not sure (Include AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, GCP Secret Manager, HashiCorp Vault---OSS or Enterprise---and any other stores.) Roughly how many secrets exist across all of those vaults? \* \<1,000 1,000-10,000 10,001-100,000 100,000+ Not sure How do you rotate secrets today? \* Policy-driven automation across all stores (e.g., event/age-based rotation, enforced centrally) Mix of automation + manual tasks (varies by team/store) Mostly manual / rotate when something breaks Not sure Can you prove on demand which secrets are in use, by whom/what, and when they were last rotated? \* Yes---single view with reports on demand Partially---some stores have reports, others don't No---we'd need weeks to compile this Not sure How much visibility do security \& DevOps share into secrets in pipelines, IaC, and code (outside the vault UI)? \* Full---pipelines and repos are monitored for secret usage/leakage Partial---some pipelines or teams are covered Minimal---we rely on team best effort Not sure First Name \* Last Name \* Email \* Company \* Job Level \*Job Level Job Function/Focus Area \*Job Function/Focus Area Phone \* Country \*Country Department \* StateState ProvinceProvince Zip Code \* Sign me up to receive news, product updates, sales outreach, event information and special offers about Palo Alto Networks and its partners.

We look forward to connecting with you! ### You're in strong shape---validate and harden Your program shows centralized visibility, policy-based rotation, and audit-ready evidence. Validate coverage across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Hashi---and confirm there are no shadow paths in pipelines. ##### Key findings * Central inventory likely exists; rotation is automated and enforced * Audit evidence can be produced on demand * Developer workflows mostly align with policy ##### Recommended next steps 1. Run a free secrets scan to confirm coverage and surface outliers (stale/orphaned secrets, unused stores). 2. Export a one-page audit-readiness report (owners, last rotation, usage). 3. Schedule quarterly policy-drift checks across AWS/Azure/GCP/Hashi.

A targeted cleanup will raise your posture quickly. ##### Key findings * Multiple stores or mixed ownership → policy drift * Rotation inconsistent across teams/platforms * Audit evidence exists, but not centralized * Partial visibility into pipelines/IaC ##### Recommended next steps 1. Run a free secrets scan to build one inventory across AWS/Azure/GCP/Hashi and flag out-of-policy and never-used/orphaned secrets. 2. Standardize rotation (≤90 days) and ownership tags; enforce centrally. 3. Correlate pipelines with vault inventory to close shadow paths. 4. Produce a single audit report to cut prep time.

Start with a rapid baseline. ##### Key findings * 4+ (or unknown) vaults; unclear ownership * Rotation mostly manual or unknown * No single source of audit truth * Pipelines/repos not consistently monitored ##### Recommended next steps 1. Run a free secrets scan now to inventory all stores, owners, last rotation, and usage. 2. Quarantine \& remove orphaned/never-used secrets; enforce rotation for aged credentials. 3. Establish central ownership \& tagging; consolidate duplicative stores. 4. Enable pipeline/repo visibility to stop non-vaulted secrets from entering automation.
