    HashiCorp Vault engagements

What we do

Four capabilities. One audit-ready outcome.

VAULT

Vault Enterprise architecture

Vault Enterprise deployed with HA topology, performance-replicated secondaries, and disaster-recovery clusters. Auth methods, secret engines, and policies engineered as code.

HCP

HCP Vault Secrets for app teams

HCP Vault Secrets stood up for application teams who need a managed secrets back-end without operating Vault themselves. Sync to AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, and Vercel.

BOUNDARY

Boundary for privileged access

HashiCorp Boundary deployed as identity-aware brokered access to production hosts and databases. Eliminates always-on VPN paths into production.

OPS

Operating model + runbooks

Quarterly review cadence, policy library, and a written runbook your platform team can inherit. Designed for the engineering-owned secrets substrate Vault is intended to be.

Where this vendor wins

Use cases we have shipped.

  • Use case · 01

    Vault Enterprise greenfield rollout

    Net-new Vault Enterprise cluster deployed with HA + performance replication. Auth methods (OIDC, Kubernetes, AWS IAM) and dynamic secrets engines (database, cloud) wired into your stack.

  • Use case · 02

    Migration from homegrown secret stores

    Phased migration from environment variables, encrypted git secrets, or first-gen tooling to Vault. Adoption planned per service team with a measured cutover and rollback policy.

  • Use case · 03

    Boundary for production access

    Boundary deployed as the identity-aware brokered access path into production hosts, databases, and Kubernetes clusters. Replaces always-on VPN with just-in-time, audited sessions.

  • Use case · 04

    HCP Vault Secrets for application teams

    HCP Vault Secrets stood up for application teams needing managed secrets with sync to AWS Secrets Manager / Azure Key Vault. Reduces secret-zero operational load while retaining the Vault policy model.

When HashiCorp Vault is NOT the right call

We are partnered with HashiCorp Vault — and we will still tell you if your stack, regulator, or operating model points to a different platform. HashiCorp Vault is usually the wrong call when the audit posture and identity ownership sit outside the cloud-native control plane that HashiCorp Vault is built around. We will say so in week one — vendor-neutral judgment is part of what you are buying, not an upsell to a different SKU.

Why this practice

HashiCorp Vault delivery, done well.

  • Premier Partner status9 certified consultants on staff. Co-sell motion available on enterprise engagements where it benefits delivery.
  • Code-first deliveryWorkflows, connectors, and policies live in your repository. CI pipelines, version control, and rollback gates — not visual builders that nobody can maintain.
  • Operational handoffRunbooks, on-call shadow, and quarterly reviews handed off to your platform team. We do not vanish after go-live.
  • Vendor-neutral judgmentWe will tell you when the wrong vendor was bought. Honesty is part of the engagement.

FAQ

Common questions.

  • Are you a formal HashiCorp partner?+

    Yes. Premier Partner with nine certified consultants on staff across the Vault Operations, Vault Associate, and Boundary specialist tracks. We co-deliver on engagements where Vault is the substrate behind a broader IAM program.

  • When does Vault win over CyberArk Conjur or AWS Secrets Manager?+

    Vault wins when the secrets substrate needs to span multiple clouds and on-prem, when dynamic-secret patterns matter (database credentials, cloud credentials, PKI), and when the operating model is engineering-owned. Conjur tends to win when CyberArk is already the privileged-identity layer. AWS Secrets Manager wins for AWS-only estates with no multi-cloud concerns.

  • Do you deliver Vault policy as code?+

    Yes. We use the Vault HCL policy language with Git-tracked policy bundles, deployed via Terraform + Vault's API. Auth method configuration follows the same pattern. Vault is one of the few platforms where the as-code path is the canonical path — not an alternative.

  • How does Boundary fit alongside CyberArk or BeyondTrust?+

    Boundary is the engineering-owned brokered access primitive — strong fit for production-engineering paths into modern infrastructure. CyberArk and BeyondTrust remain the right answer for the broader privileged identity domain (domain admins, database administrators, vendor access). The two coexist in most enterprise estates.

  • How long does a typical Vault rollout take?+

    For an engineering organization: 6-week build for the foundation cluster, then 90 days to onboard the first 10 service teams with auth method + dynamic secrets. Production-stable adoption tracked monthly during the ramp.
