- SaaS secrets
- How it works
- One place for environment variables across every environment, synced automatically into hosting platforms, CI and containers. Deliberately narrow: it is not trying to be a cryptographic service, which is why it takes an afternoon rather than a quarter to roll out.

- Deployment
- SaaS
- Hardware / key custody
- AES-256 at rest; no customer HSM
