sprawl
happens when provider keys sit across app configs, CI variables, local developer machines, SaaS settings, and support tooling.
Operational risk
Runtime is the
attack surface auditors
never see.
VaultProof gives every API key in your stack a live shield, observed in production, attested per workload, and packaged into the audit evidence your CISO and security reviewers actually need.

The operating model
Keep provider keys out of applications, agents, and build systems.
VaultProof sits between your workload and sensitive providers. The application sends an approved request, VaultProof enforces policy, the runtime uses the upstream key only for that call, and your team gets a clear record of what happened.
01Route approved provider calls through VaultProof
02Enforce project, provider, source, and budget policy
03Use upstream key material only inside the protected runtime
04Clear memory and write an audit event for review

02Why it matters
Leaked API keys become production incidents fast. Reduce where raw secrets can exist.
agents
increase the number of systems that can trigger provider calls, making source controls and scoped runtime access more important.
AI rollout risk
minutes
can be enough time for a leaked key in GitHub, logs, a laptop, or a build system to become expensive abuse.
Common incident pattern
0
raw keys should live in application runtime once the workload is routed through VaultProof.
VaultProof operating model
03Request path
Route. Authorize. Execute. Record.
Your application keeps its existing provider logic while sensitive calls are routed through VaultProof for policy checks, protected key use, and audit capture.

01
Workload
The app, agent, or automation calls VaultProof instead of carrying a raw upstream key.
02
Policy runtime
VaultProof checks organization, project, provider, source, and budget rules before execution.
03
Provider
The approved request reaches OpenAI, Stripe, Twilio, Snowflake, Datadog, or another provider.
04
Evidence
The key is cleared from memory and the security team gets an audit event it can review.
04Rollout
Keep the provider workflow. Move the raw key out.
Start with the highest-risk provider key and route that workload through VaultProof. Existing SDKs, model providers, payment APIs, messaging tools, and data platforms can keep their familiar request patterns.
Start with one critical provider or agent workflow
Keep provider-compatible SDKs, URLs, and app logic where possible
Use Cloud KMS or customer-managed gateway patterns for stronger custody controls
Export request evidence to security and compliance review workflows

05Controls
Enterprise controls for critical API usage.
01 / 06
No raw keys in apps
Move provider secrets out of code, env vars, CI logs, app databases, agent prompts, and support tooling.
02 / 06
Policy-gated proxy
Approve usage by organization, project, provider, source, budget, and customer gateway pattern.
03 / 06
Protected runtime use
Use upstream key material only inside the controlled execution path required for an approved request.
04 / 06
Audit-ready records
Capture request metadata that helps security teams review access without exposing raw provider secrets.
05 / 06
Customer custody paths
Use Cloud KMS or customer-managed gateway patterns when ownership and shutdown controls matter.
06 / 06
Provider-compatible rollout
Protect calls to OpenAI, Stripe, Twilio, Snowflake, Datadog, internal APIs, and other sensitive providers.
06Security review
Designed for security review.
01
Reduce key sprawl.
Fewer places hold raw provider secrets, so security teams have a smaller surface to monitor and defend.
02
Authorize every critical call.
VaultProof evaluates policy at the moment of use instead of trusting a secret that can be copied elsewhere.
03
Produce readable evidence.
Every approved or denied call can leave an audit record your team can inspect during review or incident response.
07Trust program
Evidence for the review process. No vague security theater.
VaultProof makes formal compliance claims only when the evidence is ready. Enterprise pilots receive architecture notes, readiness checks, health views, audit exports, and clear boundaries for what VaultProof can and cannot prove.
