Onboarding and offboarding

Getting started: HCP Vault provides comprehensive getting started
resources to help users quickly deploy and use managed Vault. Official tutorials guide users
through creating an HCP Vault Dedicated cluster,
accessing it via the web interface, CLI, or API, and
securely storing and retrieving secrets. Additional
guides cover authentication methods, policy
management, namespaces for multi-tenancy, and
integrating Vault with applications and automation
tools. Operational tutorials explain scaling,
disaster recovery, and ongoing management using
Terraform. All documentation is maintained by
HashiCorp and is available through the developer
portal, making it easy for teams to onboard, learn
best practices, and operate Vault securely in
production environments
Service documentation: Yes
Documentation formats: HTML

PDF
End-of-contract data extraction: At the end of the contract, users can extract their
data from HashiCorp Vault using supported export
and backup mechanisms. Secrets, policies, and
configuration data can be retrieved via the Vault
API or command line interface. Users may also create and download encrypted backups or
snapshots, depending on the deployment model.
All data remains under customer control, and
users are responsible for securely storing
extracted data before service termination
End-of-contract process: At the end of the contract, users retain access to
the service until the agreed expiry date. During
this period, users can extract all data using the
web interface, API, or command line tools. After
contract expiry, access is disabled and customer
data is securely deleted in accordance with IBM
and HashiCorp data retention and security
policies. The contract price includes the Vault
service subscription, platform operations,
maintenance, updates, security patching, and the
agreed support level. Any usage beyond
contracted limits, optional premium support tiers,
professional services, or extended data retention
and migration assistance are charged separately
Documentation accessibility standard: WCAG 2.2 AA

Using the service

Web browser interface: Yes
Using the web interface: Users access Vault through a browser-based GUI.
Enables visual management of secrets, policies,
and audit logs. Supports creating, reading,
updating, and deleting secrets interactively.
Provides dashboards for monitoring system health
and usage metrics. Ideal for administrators,
auditors, and non-CLI users
Web interface accessibility standard: WCAG 2.2 AA
Web interface accessibility testing: N/A
API: Yes
What users can and can't do using the API: Vault exposes a RESTful API for all functionality.
Allows programmatic secret management,
authentication, and policy enforcement. Supports
automation in CI/CD pipelines or application
workflows. Integrates with external tools like Kubernetes, Terraform, and custom scripts.
Enables highly customizable automation and
orchestration of secrets
API automation tools: Ansible

Command line interface: Yes
Command line interface compatibility: Linux or Unix

Windows

MacOS
Using the command line interface: Users can fully manage HashiCorp Vault using the
command line interface. The CLI allows users to
install Vault, initialize and unseal the service,
configure storage backends, enable authentication
methods, and activate secrets engines. Users can
create, read, update, and delete secrets, define
access policies, manage users and tokens, and
rotate credentials securely. The CLI supports
making configuration changes in real time,
including updating policies, modifying roles,
revoking access, enabling integrations, and
automating tasks through scripts and CI/CD
pipelines. It is commonly used for repeatable,
automated, and operational workflows. Limitations
include permission-based restrictions enforced by
Vault policies, meaning users can only perform
authorised actions. The CLI does not provide
visual dashboards or reporting, which are
available through the web interface. In managed
SaaS environments, some low-level system
configuration actions may be restricted. The CLI
also requires technical expertise and is less
suitable for non-technical users.

Scaling

Independence of resources: HCP Vault ensures user resource independence
through dedicated, isolated clusters for each
customer. Compute, memory, and storage are
allocated per cluster, preventing other users’
demand from affecting performance. Multi‑region
and multi‑availability zone deployments provide
redundancy and load balancing. Monitoring
detects resource contention, and automated
scaling or replication maintains stability. Users
control their policies, secrets engines, and
authentication, ensuring operations remain fully
independent from other tenants

Access restrictions in management interfaces and support channels: For customer administrative users, RBAC is based
on Platform's security model. HashiCorp SRE and
SE access is granted on a least privileged and all
access is time-bound. Users who need access are
subject to an approval chain. Their right to request
access is revoked after 90 days. Users have the
right to request access, they are authenticated
through an internal system. Admin access to
production systems is limited to 15mins before reauthentication. Access for support teams to read
hashed audit logs is granted for 30 days.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard: Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach: HashiCorp maintains all clusters on the most
recent major and minor versions of HCP Vault.
Within a major release family, the most recent
stable minor version will be automatically
maintained for all tiers. Major versions are automatically maintained for the Development and
Starter tiers. For Standard and Plus tiers, you are
able to: - Set a maintenance window in which HCP
Vault will attempt to upgrade their cluster to the
most recent available major version. - Defer
upgrade, and opt to upgrade manually up to 30
days from the time of availability of the latest
version
Vulnerability management type: Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach: HashiCorp uses the Common Vulnerability
Scoring System (CVSS) for all vulnerabilities
within scope of this standard. Each vulnerability
must be assessed by the Security Team to
determine the CVSS rating by completing the
NIST CVSS v3.1 Calculator. For a High severity
vulnerability we aim to have a response timeline of
5 business days
Protective monitoring type: Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach: At least annually or when significant changes
have occurred, HashiCorp will conduct an
independent review of the approach to managing
information security and its implementation.
Additional third party reviews may be performed at
least annually as necessary. Information systems
should be regularly reviewed for compliance with
HashiCorp’s information security policies and
standards. The security team will use approved
tools to check systems and networks for technical
compliance as part of regular vulnerability
assessment and penetration testing activity
Incident management type: Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach: All HashiCorp employees and contractors must
report any suspected incident or suspicious event
within 24 hours of detection of an incident.
Customers, community members, and vendors
with access to HashiCorp Resources, or who act
on behalf of HashiCorp must also report any
suspected incident or suspicious event involving
HashiCorp Resources within 24 hours of
discovery. Information security weaknesses,
incidents, and events must be reported as soon as
possible. Employees must notify the security team
through email or slack. External parties who
experience an incident or event should report it to
the security team via email
