Auditable Emergency Access with Quorum-Based Unsealing

Sealed break-glass accounts stay locked until a quorum of approvers unseal them. Every action triggers immediate SIEM alerts and tamper-evident audit logging.

Watch the Quorum Unseal Flow

Two approvers. One sealed account. Full audit trail.

Three steps. Zero standing access.

Accounts stay sealed at rest. Access requires agreement -- and leaves a permanent record.

Seal Account

Create a break-glass account with defined scope and quorum policy. The account is sealed -- credentials are locked and inaccessible until the quorum condition is met.

Declare Emergency

When an emergency is declared, the requester provides their unseal code. The platform immediately notifies all designated approvers via SIEM, webhook, and email.

Unseal with Quorum

Once the required number of approvers submit their votes, the account is unsealed for the defined TTL. It re-seals automatically when the window expires.

Every safeguard, built in

From cryptographic code verification to automatic reseal, break-glass access is controlled at every step.

N-of-M

Quorum Approval

Configure any N-of-M quorum policy per account. Require 2 of 3, 3 of 5, or any combination. No single person can unilaterally unseal a break-glass account.

SHA-256

Unseal Codes

Unseal codes are stored as SHA-256 hashes and compared using constant-time comparison -- immune to timing attacks. Codes are distributed out-of-band at account creation.

Auto-reseal

TTL and Auto-Reseal

Every unseal event has a maximum TTL. When the window expires, the account re-seals automatically -- no manual cleanup required, no risk of forgotten open access.

Hash-chained

Tamper-Evident Audit Log

Every unseal event, vote, and action is recorded in a SHA-256 hash-chained audit log. Any attempt to modify or delete a record breaks the chain -- detectable immediately.

No Standing Access. No Single Point of Failure.

Break-glass accounts have no standing access. Credentials are sealed at rest and only released when a quorum of named approvers each submit their individual unseal codes -- no single person can override this.

Every unseal event is written to a tamper-evident hash-chained audit log and simultaneously pushed to your SIEM. Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, and custom webhook endpoints receive the alert within milliseconds of quorum being reached -- before the requester can take any action.
