Implementing secrets governance across multi-cloud, on-prem, and edge environments

Organizations often face challenges in managing secrets across multi-cloud, on-premises, and edge environments due to isolated vaults, inconsistent policies, and scattered logs. To address this, a centralized secrets governance framework is recommended, which involves mapping current secrets, designing a governance plane, standardizing access management, automating the secrets lifecycle, extending governance to hybrid environments, and establishing a unified audit and compliance layer. This framework unifies visibility, access policies, and automation without replacing existing tools, instead orchestrating them to enhance security, maintain consistency, and support growth. Tools like Doppler can be integrated to provide these governance functions, ensuring that secrets are managed efficiently and securely across various environments while adhering to compliance needs.
