Unraven is a secure secret management product for small teams, freelancers, and technical founders who want better security without the complexity of enterprise-first tools.

Our work covered the full product journey from naming and brand to product design, frontend and backend development, and infrastructure.

The core challenge was clear from the start: make security feel strong and credible, while keeping onboarding seamless enough for teams that would otherwise postpone secret management entirely.
Key outcomes
  1. Full product built from naming to working platform
  2. Security-first product
  3. Integrations for real developer workflows, including CI, AWS, Docker, and VSCode
  4. Built for fast setup, flexible project structure, and team collaboration

Security that fits the way teams already work

The product was designed to make better security habits easy to adopt, not harder. That meant fitting into the tools and workflows technical teams already use every day.
A big part of the strategy was reducing the friction that usually stops teams from introducing secret management at all. Secrets Vault supports workflows through CLI access, CI/CD usage, and integrations with tools like AWS, Docker, and VSCode, so users do not need to rebuild their way of working just to improve security. The goal was simple: make the secure option easier to adopt than insecure workarounds like .env files, shared docs, or credentials passed around in chat.

Trust starts with strong security foundations

In a secret management product, trust is not something you add later. It has to be built into the product from the very beginning.
That shaped our approach across the whole product. Security was not treated as a single feature area, but as the core product promise. Controls like 2FA, audit logs, SSO, IP whitelisting, and role-based access had to feel strong and credible, while the product itself still needed to remain approachable for smaller teams without dedicated security specialists. The challenge was to create a system that feels serious enough to trust, but simple enough to adopt quickly.

A modern alternative to enterprise-heavy secret tools

At kickoff, the client presented requirements that couldn't fit the timeframe. The first real deliverable was a realistic roadmap with clear priority tiers.

We ran two parallel discovery streams and shaped an MVP definition with Sales stakeholders, focused on a product useful from day one.
Discovery & Product Positioning
Naming, Brand & UX Direction
Product Design & Core Flows
Frontend, Backend & Infrastructure
Security & Launch Readiness

Discovery & Positioning

The first phase focused on shaping the product strategy, target audience, and value proposition.

The goal was to define a secret management tool for smaller teams that would feel faster, simpler, and more accessible than enterprise-first alternatives.

Brand, UX & Platform Build

Once the product direction was clear, the work moved into naming, brand identity, product design, frontend, backend, and infrastructure.

The challenge was to create one coherent experience where the product felt trustworthy, modern, and easy to adopt from the first interaction.

Security & Launch Readiness

The final phase focused on turning the platform into a secure, dependable product with strong access controls, auditability, and safe team workflows.

The goal was to make the product ready for real use without compromising the seamless onboarding that defined its positioning.

Secret management simple enough for 2-minute adoption

The product was designed for freelancers, technical founders, small software teams, no-code agencies, and DevOps specialists who want to adopt better security practices without the complexity of enterprise-first secret management tools.

Instead of adding more setup, more context switching, and more friction, Secrets Vault focuses on fast onboarding, practical integrations, and a workflow that feels natural from the first use.
