V13.3.1 Verify that a secrets management solution, such as a key vault, is used to securely create, store …	Verify that a secrets management solution, such as a key vault, is used to securely create, store, control access to, and destroy backend secrets. These could include passwords, key material, integrations with databases and third-party systems, keys and seeds for time-based tokens, other internal secrets, and API keys. Secrets must not be included in application source code or included in build artifacts. For an L3 application, this must involve a hardware-backed solution such as an HSM.
V13.3.2 Verify that access to secret assets adheres to the principle of least privilege.	Verify that access to secret assets adheres to the principle of least privilege.
V13.3.3 Verify that all cryptographic operations are performed using an isolated security module (such as a …	Verify that all cryptographic operations are performed using an isolated security module (such as a vault or hardware security module) to securely manage and protect key material from exposure outside of the security module.
V13.3.4 Verify that secrets are configured to expire and be rotated based on the application's …	Verify that secrets are configured to expire and be rotated based on the application's documentation.
