A system for automatically managing secrets in multiple data security jurisdiction zones (1, 2...N), wherein a secret comprises information, credential, or other device, which is used to protect, encrypt, and/or needed to access, data, one or more resources, one or more virtual assets, and/or one or more computing systems, the system comprising: at least one processor; and at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, the at least one memory having stored therein instructions which when executed by any set of the one or more processors, perform a process for automatically managing secrets in multiple data security jurisdiction zones, the process for automatically managing secrets in multiple data security jurisdiction zones including: identifying one or more data security jurisdiction zones to which secrets data may be transferred, wherein a data security jurisdiction zone comprises a geographic region, a political region, a computing environment or a computing sub-environment therein, a resource, and/or a networks of resources, having its own data security policy; obtaining data security policy data for the identified data security jurisdiction zones, the data security policy data for the identified data security jurisdiction zones including data indicating allowed secrets data for the respective data security jurisdiction zones; obtaining secrets request data representing a request that secrets data be transferred to a resource; automatically determining the data security jurisdiction zone of the resource; automatically obtaining data security policy data associated with the data security jurisdiction zone of the resource; automatically analyzing the data security policy data of the data security jurisdiction zone of the resource to determine allowed secrets data with respect to the data security jurisdiction zone of the resource; obtaining allowed secrets data with respect to the data security jurisdiction zone of the resource; and automatically providing the allowed secrets data to the resource. at least one processor; and at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, the at least one memory having stored therein instructions which when executed by any set of the one or more processors, perform a process for automatically managing secrets in multiple data security jurisdiction zones, the process for automatically managing secrets in multiple data security jurisdiction zones including: identifying one or more data security jurisdiction zones to which secrets data may be transferred, wherein a data security jurisdiction zone comprises a geographic region, a political region, a computing environment or a computing sub-environment therein, a resource, and/or a networks of resources, having its own data security policy;
