Secrets Management Maturity Progression Checklist
Managing secrets securely isn’t one-size-fits-all. Teams often move through different stages from storing secrets in code to implementing automation and access controls, all the way to secretless architectures.
This checklist outlines those stages so you can see where you stand and what the next steps look like.
What the Checklist Covers:
- Key milestones from Stage 1 (manual secrets handling) to Stage 4 (secretless, zero-trust workflows)
- Clear actions for each stage: centralizing secrets, rotating credentials, automating injection, enforcing access policies, and more
- A simple framework to guide internal conversations and planning
This is a quick-reference tool, not a deep dive but it can help your team get aligned and take the next step with confidence.
