How many CPM and DR vaults should be created for effective management?

For effective management of privileged accounts, the best practice is to create one Central Password Manager (CPM) vault and one Disaster Recovery (DR) vault for each data center. This setup simplifies the management and ensures that there is a dedicated vault for secure password storage and an additional vault as a backup in case of a disaster. Having one vault per data center centralizes the management, helping in compliance and making it easier to enforce policies related to privileged account access.

Creating more than one vault for CPM and DR in a single data center can complicate management and lead to issues with consistency in password policies and access controls. This could also increase administrative overhead and complicate disaster recovery processes, as more than one vault would need to be synchronized and managed.
