What Onyxaris scanned

  • Project libraries
  • Runbooks
  • Support documents
  • Handover folders
  • Configuration exports
  • Shared links

Findings

What the team discovered.

Temporary admin credentials in support documents

Context, exposure and remediation priority were captured for review.

Cloud service tokens pasted into troubleshooting notes

Context, exposure and remediation priority were captured for review.

Configuration exports attached to project documentation

Context, exposure and remediation priority were captured for review.

Private keys stored in historical folders

Context, exposure and remediation priority were captured for review.

Outcome

Prioritized remediation and repeatable review.

The team gained a structured cleanup list, rotated high-risk credentials, removed obsolete copies and created a repeatable process for future scans.
