OpenBao Architecture & Design
- Collaborative workshops
- High-level architecture concept and design
OpenBao is a modern open source secrets and encryption management system that centralizes key management, credential generation, and encryption services enabling teams to control and audit access across apps, systems, and infrastructures. It is community-driven and governed in the open under the Linux Foundation and OpenSSF.
In today’s complex IT landscape, securely managing passwords, API tokens, and certificates is a constant challenge. As organizations scale, platforms often lag in evolving security, governance, and regulatory needs. Proprietary licensing can push an “architecture by license,” increase costs, and reduce transparency where it matters most.
OpenBao provides an open, integrated, automation-ready foundation that restores control, improves audits, and keeps costs predictable. It supports static and dynamic secrets, certificates, and identities, as well as key management with strict access control, encryption at rest, and auditability.
OpenBao is engineered and optimized by experts. Together, we design, deploy, and integrate OpenBao to meet your requirements, so you can rely on best practices, save time and costs, and immediately improve your security posture.
