What exactly it has to do with Vault/OpenBao?
GatePlane builds on Vault/OpenBao to deliver stronger security controls.
Vault/OpenBao already provides trusted, battle-tested foundations for Secrets Management and Access Control. By using it, GatePlane doesn’t reinvent the wheel but instead adds new layers of value: approval workflows, Just-In-Time (JIT) access, and fine-grained Privileged Access Management (PAM), as well as notifications and usage analytics.
This means you get the reliability of Vault/OpenBao’s proven security, combined with GatePlane’s flexible, self-hosted control plane that makes privileged access safer and easier to manage.
