01 — Agents
01

Agency without exposure

Agents use freshly minted dynamic secrets with their own identity. If they run into any access issues, they automatically ping a team member and ask for higher privileges only when needed.

Complete visibility throughout: destructive actions like SQL DROP get blocked and audit-logged.

AI egress proxy

Guardrails at the network edge

Agents use decoy secrets managed by Phase when making outbound requests to third-party services. The Phase AI proxy inspects each request and checks it against your policy — then injects the real secret mid-flight.

ACCESS & AUDIT

Control without friction

Manage authentication, role-based access control (RBAC) and network access policies from one place.

03.1 — Teams

Group members and service accounts into Teams, then grant a Team access to apps scoped to specific environments. Environment keys are provisioned automatically when someone joins and revoked when they leave — with team-owned service accounts and optional role overrides.

Learn more about Teams
03.2 — Role-based access control

Managed and custom roles with a granular permission matrix, per-environment and per-path scoping, service accounts for machines.

Restrict access to your secrets by IP address or CIDR range with network access policies for users and service accounts.

SecurityS.01 – S.03

Trust, but verify

Every control here is cryptographically enforced, independently audited, or open to inspection.

S.01

Strong encryption

End-to-end encryption for all secrets. High-entropy keys for every environment, user, agent and machine. Access is controlled by encryption keys that only you hold.

How it works
XCHACHA20-POLY1305 · X25519 · ARGON2ID
S.02

SOC 2 Type 2

Independently audited under SOC 2 Type 2, with controls examined continuously. Penetration tested regularly by Oneleet, an independent security firm. Reports are available in our trust center.

S.03

No telemetry

Every line of code that secures your secrets is public and auditable. Run on Phase Cloud or your own infrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes, any cloud, or fully air-gapped. No outbound usage analytics or telemetry.

Global search, offline mode, dynamic secrets, machine identity. The parts of a secrets manager you would otherwise build yourself.

Global secret search

Find any secret across every app, environment and folder in your organization. Search runs client-side: values are never decrypted.

Work offline

The CLI caches secrets locally, encrypted at rest. Set PHASE_OFFLINE=1 and keep shipping when the network is down.

Rotating secrets

Phase mints, exposes, and revokes third-party credentials on a schedule — your app picks up fresh values with no code changes.

Authentication for humans and machines

External identities for workloads: no bootstrap credential to provision, rotate, or leak. SSO with SCIM provisioning for people.

Machines — external identities

Workloads authenticate with their platform identity: an AWS SigV4-signed request or an Azure managed-identity JWT. Phase verifies the identity upstream with AWS STS or Microsoft Entra, matches it against your trusted principals, and returns a short-lived scoped token straight to the workload.

Azure principal6a3f9c21-8d4e-4b7a-9f10-2c5e8b7d4a90
Humans — SSO

Single sign-on through your identity provider. Users are provisioned and deprovisioned over SCIM v2: Entra ID, Okta, JumpCloud, or any compatible directory.

Sealed secrets

Write-only secrets: once saved, the plaintext is never visible or editable in the UI again — ideal for signing keys and tokens.

I tried out Phase a while back and was pretty impressed. The DX is amazing, especially the CLI. Managing secrets has been such a pain, I am definitely gonna use Phase for projects I work on going forward. … Super easy for me to recommend it to my peers.

Phase has one of the most well thought out security architectures I've seen. The encryption implementation is one I show my students as a benchmark for robust cryptography in a real-world application.

Phase looks like a solid tool for managing secrets in a secure and efficient way. I've used similar tools, but the ease of integration with other services like GitHub and AWS really sets this apart.

This is a great tool. When you work with a distributed team it is always a real pain to share secrets and credentials. I also love the fact that you offer a self-hosted version. Especially in Europe a lot of companies insist on hosting on premise 😅
