How are secrets and credentials stored in your production environment?

How to answer this security questionnaire question, with an expert response your security or GRC team can adapt.

Expert answer

Production secrets belong in a dedicated secrets manager or vault with access controlled by IAM policy, audit-logged, and rotated on schedule or on personnel change. Confirm that secrets never live in source code or configuration files, that CI enforces this with automated secret scanning, and that applications receive credentials at runtime rather than at build time.
