Secretz Enterprise is a modern solution for securing organizational secrets – including passwords, digital keys, and certificates.

The solution strengthens security while reducing growth-based licensing costs. Based on the OpenBao™ project, Secretz Enterprise is rooted in the principles of openness, simplicity, and reliability.

The offering includes a flat-fee subscription model, 24/7 enterprise support, and continuous software assurance.

Secretz Enterprise plays a crucial role in protecting application secrets and machine identities, which are essential for the daily operations of any company in any industry. This new approach ensures that customers benefit from improved cybersecurity without having to pay the "Success Tax" of proprietary models – meaning licensing costs do not increase in parallel with company growth.

Secretz Enterprise enables organizations to scale their security without increasing their costs. The solution is based on an upstream-first approach and uses an unrestricted, predictable pricing model. This solves one of the biggest challenges for technical decision-makers: as company infrastructure grows, proprietary security solutions penalize this growth through a so-called "Success Tax". Because billing is based on "identity" or "client", teams are forced to find "Architecture by License" workarounds. The result is an infrastructure primarily adapted to a contract rather than to actual security requirements.

Secretz Enterprise removes these barriers: organizations can focus on securing their infrastructure instead of counting identities. This can reduce annual spending on secrets management by up to 50% compared to proprietary alternatives.

The mission behind Secretz Enterprise is to make sustainable secrets management accessible to everyone. While high-security industries have long made data protection a priority, today companies across all sectors – from finance, utilities, and telecommunications to pharmaceuticals and government – rely on secrets management to protect their most important assets.

Switching to Secretz Enterprise requires no migration and no infrastructure changes to existing platforms; customers can start using the subscription immediately and cancel at any time, without affecting their running environments.

There is no vendor lock-in, no architectural adjustments, and no hidden dependencies. As an advocate of vendor-independent solutions, Adfinis is committed worldwide to the uninterrupted availability of critical systems. With Secretz Enterprise, Adfinis empowers organizations in the private and public sectors to secure their infrastructure and meet the strictest security requirements without ceding control to a single vendor.

The long-term quality and reliability of Secretz Enterprise is guaranteed by an "upstream-first" commitment: every improvement and every fix is contributed directly back to the OpenBao project. Adfinis is an essential co-maintainer and chair of the OpenBao Technical Steering Committee (TSC) and continuously improves OpenBao through bug fixes, security patches, and functional enhancements. As a result, Secretz Enterprise – which is based on OpenBao – benefits from modern features such as automated rotation, just-in-time (JIT) access, full auditability, and a unified API. These features allow companies to effortlessly minimize security risks such as secrets sprawl or secrets stored in plaintext.
