Secret Scope Matrix Builder
Review integration scopes to find broad permissions, privileged patterns, and permission sets that should be reduced before the next audit or incident.
What this matrix is good at
Use it to identify integrations that have slowly accumulated permissions over time. It is especially useful when platform teams inherit old partner or internal service credentials.
- Broad admin scopes are usually worth breaking apart first.
- A high scope count is not always wrong, but it should be intentional.
- Production integrations deserve tighter scrutiny than staging or QA helpers.
How to operationalize the output
Convert the recommendations into scope-reduction tickets, then pair the work with ownership review and secret rotation so access tightening does not lag behind policy updates.
- Pair least-privilege cleanup with credential lifecycle work.
- Document why any broad scope remains in place.
- Re-run the matrix after vendor or platform changes add new permissions.
