Password Manager
Team password management and credential sharing tools for securely storing, generating, and sharing passwords across your organisation. European password managers use zero-knowledge encryption and EU-based infrastructure to protect your most sensitive access credentials.
What to Look For
GDPR Considerations
Password managers store the keys to your entire digital infrastructure: login credentials for email, cloud services, banking, customer databases, and administrative systems. A breach of your password manager could expose every system your organisation uses. Under GDPR, credentials that provide access to personal data are themselves subject to appropriate technical safeguards, and storing them with a non-EU provider introduces jurisdictional risk. European password managers combine zero-knowledge encryption (where even the provider cannot access your vault) with EU-based infrastructure. This means your credential vault is protected both cryptographically and jurisdictionally. For organisations subject to GDPR, using a European password manager demonstrates the kind of robust technical measures that data protection authorities expect to see.
