A secure environment doesn't involve software exfiltrating secrets to a 3rd party. It shouldn't even centralize secrets in plaintext. The thing to collect and monitor is behavior: so-and-so logged into a dashboard using credentials user+passhash and spun up a server which connected to X Y and Z over ports whatever... And those monitored barriers should be integral to an architecture, such that every behavior in need of auditing is provably recorded.

If you lean in the direction of keylogging all your employees, that's not only lazy but ineffective on account of the unnecessary noise collected, and it's counterproductive in that it creates a juicy central target that you can hardly trust anyone with. Good auditing is minimally useful to an adversary, IMO.
