Case Study: The Children’s Cancer Institute achieves faster, more secure secrets management with Doppler

The Children’s Cancer Institute cuts secrets management time by 98% with Doppler

The Children’s Cancer Institute (CCI) faced a significant challenge in managing over 1,300 secrets across 30 projects. Their reliance on a mix of Azure Key Vault and manual processes was slow, error-prone, and created security risks with unencrypted files. This inefficient system hampered developer productivity and made onboarding new engineers a lengthy process. They needed a platform-agnostic solution from a vendor like Doppler to centralize and secure their secrets management.

Doppler provided a centralized secrets management platform that organized secrets across all environments and integrated with CCI's existing infrastructure. The solution drastically improved security by eliminating unencrypted files and implemented role-based access control. As a result, Doppler helped CCI achieve a 98% reduction in time spent managing secrets and cut engineer onboarding time by 50%, allowing the team to focus more on their core mission of cancer research innovation.
