# Credential Rotation Procedures

|
## 🚨 When to Rotate Credentials
|
|
|
|
Rotate credentials IMMEDIATELY if any of the following occur:
|
|
|
|
1. **Confirmed Exposure**: Credential detected in git history, logs, or public location
|
|
2. **Suspected Compromise**: Security incident, unauthorized access attempt, or anomalous activity
|
|
3. **Personnel Change**: Team member with credential access leaves or changes role
|
|
4. **Scheduled Rotation**: Regular rotation per security policy (recommended: 90 days)
|
|
5. **Detection Alert**: Pre-commit hook blocked credential, GitHub secret scanning alert
|
|

|
## 📋 Rotation Procedures by Credential Type
|
|
|
|
### MongoDB Database Password
|
|
|
|
**Location**: `.env` file (MONGODB_URI)
|
|
|
|
**Rotation Steps**:
|
|
1. Generate new strong password (16+ characters, mixed case, numbers, symbols)
|
|
2. Update MongoDB user: `mongosh tractatus_dev --eval "db.changeUserPassword('tractatus_user', 'NEW_PASSWORD')"`
|
|
3. Update `.env` file with new password
|
|
4. Test connection: `npm test -- --testPathPattern=mongodb.test.js`
|
|
5. Restart application
|
|
6. Verify application works
|
|
7. Document rotation in security log
|
|
|
|
**Rollback**: Keep old password active for 24 hours, then revoke
|

## 🔍 Git History Credential Removal
|
|
|
|
If credentials were committed to git history:
|
|
|
|
1. Remove from history: `git filter-repo --path .env --invert-paths`
|
|
2. Force push (coordinate with team first): `git push origin --force --all`
|
|
3. Rotate ALL exposed credentials
|
|
4. Notify GitHub Security Team (if public repo)
|
|
|

|
## 📊 Rotation Log
|
|
|
|
**Location**: `logs/credential-rotations.log`
|
|
|
|
**Format**: `[TIMESTAMP] ROTATION | Credential: TYPE | Reason: REASON | Performed By: EMAIL | Status: SUCCESS/FAILED`
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## 🛡️ Prevention Measures
|
|
|
|
1. Never commit credentials (use .env files, already in .gitignore)
|
|
2. Pre-commit hooks active (inst_069)
|
|
3. Use credential vault (KeePassXC recommended)
|
|
4. GitHub secret scanning enabled
|
|
5. Regular security audits
|
|

|
|
## 🚨 Emergency Contact
|
|
|
|
1. **Immediate**: Rotate exposed credentials
|
|
2. **Within 1 hour**: Notify security@agenticgovernance.digital
|
|
3. **Within 24 hours**: Complete incident report
|
|
4. **Within 1 week**: Review and update procedures
