Offboarding Developers: Eliminating Credential Risk When Team Members Leave

The Problem

When developers or contractors leave a project, they often retain access to API keys, tokens, and integrations that were set up during their tenure. Even well-managed teams struggle to track every credential embedded in scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and local dev environments. This creates a silent but severe security risk: former employees or exposed tokens can still access live data or systems long after departure.

The RequestRocket Solution

RequestRocket centralizes and abstracts API credentials, so developers never directly handle tokens or service keys. Every API request routes through your organization’s RequestRocket proxy layer, which enforces per-user or per-service policies. When a developer leaves, this lets you cancel their access to proxied APIs eliminating credential risk.

Key Benefits

• Deprovisioning: Instantly revoke access to users and systems.

• No exposed keys: Credentials are isolated in the RequestRocket vault.

• Full audit trail: Every API request remains logged and attributable for compliance.

• Faster onboarding/offboarding: No more manual token distribution or cleanup.

Real-World Impact

Teams using RequestRocket have reduced offboarding time from hours to minutes while closing a major security gap around forgotten credentials. By decoupling user accounts from raw API tokens, organizations stay compliant and protected - even as teams change.
