Security Template: configurable per customer

Exposed Secret Response

Respond to a leaked credential by rotating or revoking it and notifying the owner in one approval-gated action, fully audited.

The problem

A secret pushed to a repo or pasted in the wrong place is a clock starting. The response (rotate or revoke, then notify) is well understood, but doing it fast and recording it cleanly is hard in the moment.

What AscendCore does

An admin reports the exposed secret from Slack or Teams. AscendCore resolves the owner, proposes the rotate-or-revoke action, executes on approval, and notifies the owner. The response is written to the security namespace of the audit chain.

Status

Template. Secret stores and approver routing are configurable per customer. Connect it to your identity and source-control platforms to enable.

Runbook source preview

Versioned, deterministic, auditable

Every runbook is defined as a versioned YAML manifest with explicit triggers, steps, and approval policies. The runbook itself is the audit-ready record of what AscendCore can and will do. Chat is just the interface that triggers it.
