Credential Security

Find every credential.Map it to its identity.Shrink its blast radius.

Trustivan maps every discovered credential to the identity that presents it and the owner accountable for it, and raises age, rotation, expiry and exposure findings with the evidence attached — reading metadata only, never the secret.

The problem

Credentials are everywhere. Their identities are nowhere.

A credential is a copy of authority — and every copy that outlives its purpose is an access path nobody is watching.

Long-lived by default

Access keys, tokens and certificates are created without expiry, and the longer they live the less anyone remembers what still depends on them

Copied, reused, forgotten

One key ends up in three pipelines, a laptop and a wiki page, so rotating it breaks something nobody can name

Exposed without an owner

A scanner finds the string in a repository, but not the identity that presents it, the human who owns it or what it can reach

The fix is not a better regular expression. It is knowing, for every credential, which identity presents it, who owns that identity and what it can reach — so rotation and expiry can be driven from a finding instead of a hunch.

How it works

Inventory. Map. Detect. Remediate.

Capabilities available today, each anchored to the identity that holds the credential rather than to the string itself.

M3 · Available
Inventory

Inventory every credential, and hear about every copy

Connectors read credential metadata where identities live — AWS access keys, Kubernetes service-account tokens and Vault AppRoles — and never the secret itself. Trustivan ships no scanner: exposures your scanners find arrive through an authenticated ingestion API and are matched to a credential where one exists.

  • Credential types: access keys on AWS machine users, Kubernetes service-account tokens (counted, not named) and Vault AppRoles.
  • Exposure is reported, not scanned: an exposure that matches no discovered credential is still a finding, because nobody can name the key.
  • Metadata only: secret values are never read, stored or shown.

Map

Map every credential to the identity that presents it

A credential on its own is a string. Mapped to its identity it becomes a path: who presents it, who owns that identity, what it authenticates to and what it can reach. That mapping is what turns a scanner hit into a decision someone can act on.

  • Identity ≠ credential: one identity may hold several credentials, and one credential may be shared by several identities — both are findings.
  • Owner inherited from the identity, so the person asked to rotate a key is the person who can.
  • Blast radius through the graph: the resources a credential exposes are the resources its identity can reach.

Detect

Detect long-lived, exposed and expiring credentials

Age, exposure and expiry are the signals that most reliably precede a credential incident. Trustivan evaluates them per credential, raises findings with the evidence attached, and weights risk by the privilege of the identity that holds them.

  • Long-lived: credentials past the rotation age — ninety days by default — ranked by what the identity holding them can reach.
  • Exposed: a credential your scanner reported as leaked outranks any age, and one nobody can match is a finding of its own.
  • Expiring: credentials approaching expiry, surfaced before the outage rather than after it.

Why a scanner is not enough

A scanner finds strings. A control plane resolves authority.

Secret scanners are a valuable source, and Trustivan takes their findings through its ingestion API. But a match is not a finding until it knows its identity, owner and reach — and a finding records who triaged it and why.

Whose credential is this, what can its identity reach, and who owns the fix?

Read: Identity ≠ Credential

  • ScannerA string that matches a credential pattern

    TrustivanThe identity that presents it, and the team or person who owns that identity

  • ScannerThe file and commit where it was found

    TrustivanWhere its identity authenticates and what it can reach

  • ScannerA count of findings, ranked by pattern confidence

    TrustivanPriority by blast radius: privilege, exposure, reachability and lifecycle, with evidence

  • ScannerDelete the line and close the alert

    TrustivanPropose rotation or revocation for a second person’s approval — and keep the decision on record

Scanners stay useful as a source. The graph turns their output into findings that know their identity, owner and blast radius.

Rotation & expiry

Flag. Propose. Approve. Record.

Remediation starts from the finding: propose a rotation or revocation, have a second person approve it, and record the outcome. Trustivan never rotates, vaults or revokes a credential at a provider — a person makes that change, and the platform keeps the decision.

  • Vault-aware: AppRoles, entities, auth mounts and the policy names they hold, read through the HashiCorp Vault connector; cloud secret managers are not connected.
  • Second person required: nobody approves their own remediation, and the approval is part of the record.
  • Recorded, not executed: a provider-side action reports that no executor exists, instead of pretending it ran.

Scope

What Trustivan has built for credentials

The M3 milestone of the platform trajectory, published so you can plan against it — and so nobody mistakes a direction for a shipped feature.

M3 · AvailableCredential Security
  • Credential inventory
  • Credential ↔ identity mapping
  • Age & rotation-overdue findings
  • Expiry findings

Credential blast radius is part of this milestone. The platform never vaults, rotates or revokes customer credentials. See the full platform trajectory

Credential Inventory

Inventory access keys, Kubernetes service-account tokens and Vault AppRoles as metadata — secret values are never read

Credential ↔ Identity Mapping

Link every credential to the identity that presents it, the owner accountable for it and the services it unlocks

Exposure & Sharing

Take exposures your scanners report through the ingestion API, match each to a credential and identity, and flag credentials shared between agents

Rotation & Expiry

Flag rotation-overdue and expiring credentials, and propose a rotation a second person must approve

Credential Blast Radius

Resolve what a compromised credential reaches — repositories, workloads, accounts, servers — through the identity that holds it

Vault Integration

Read AppRoles, entities, auth mounts and the policy names they hold from HashiCorp Vault — never secret data, leases or tokens

Cross-pillar

Credentials inherit their context from the other two pillars

A credential finding knows its identity and owner because Identity Governance exists — and knows when an agent holds it because Agent Authorization does.

Explore the platform
Govern

Identity Governance

Discover, classify and own non-human identities — service accounts, roles, workloads, bots, apps and automation.

Discovery & Inventory

Discover IAM roles and machine users, GitHub Apps and bots, Kubernetes service accounts and Vault AppRoles across your connected estate

Ownership & Lifecycle

Attach every identity to an accountable owner and a lifecycle state — and flag the orphans that nobody claims

Explore govern
Control

Agent Authorization

Govern AI agents, their tools, credentials and permissions — and authorize every action they take at a deny-by-default gate.

Agent Identity & Tools

Give each agent an owner, a declared autonomy and a scoped set of tool entitlements, over MCP tools the platform discovers

Secure Every Action

Evaluate credential state, tool entitlement, effect, resource impact, autonomy and standing grants before an action runs — ALLOW, CHALLENGE or DENY
