Password manager deployment and credential management for your team.
Credential Management: one vault you own
Every shared login, saved browser password, and orphaned service account is a key someone else can pick up. We find where your credentials live, move them into a password vault you own, in the cloud or on your own servers, tie it to your identity provider, and make sure access ends when a person leaves.
Engineered by Jeremiah Coakley, Principal Security Architect
In your crypto-agility plan: the vault's cryptography in your inventory, and shared secrets rotated on a schedule until sharing keys move to post-quantum.
What you're buying
Credentials you can account for.
Teams call us when an audit asks how access ends, a customer review asks where secrets live, or a departure leaves passwords nobody can trace.
Offboarding
Access that ends when someone leaves, with the log to show it
Removing a person from your identity provider removes their vault access, the shared credentials they could see get rotated on a defined list, and the event log records each step for the auditor or customer who asks.
Shared logins
Shared passwords out of spreadsheets and chat
Every shared login lands in a vault you own, with access by role, so a vendor portal reaches exactly the people who need it and nobody has to ask who knows the password.
Pipelines and AI agents
Keys out of code, pipelines, and AI agents
Hardcoded keys and .env files move into a secrets manager, with one scoped machine account per pipeline or agent. A leaked token exposes one small set and can be revoked on its own, which also answers PCI DSS 8.6.
Post-quantum plan
A vault that fits your post-quantum plan
The password managers we deploy encrypt the vault on each device with AES-256, which holds up at post-quantum strength. The parts that use classical cryptography go into your inventory with a treatment and a date.

The engagement
Find it, vault it, prove it.
Scoped by the number of people and systems, and by where the vault runs. Each credential ends the engagement vaulted, retired, or documented, with evidence attached.
Find
Every place a password lives, and every one already exposed
Shared logins in spreadsheets and chat, passwords saved in browsers, service accounts nobody owns, and the vendor portals only one person can reach, plus a hunt across your identity, endpoint, and edge telemetry for credentials already exposed or in use where they should not be. Each one is recorded with an owner and a plan.
Deploy
One vault your team actually uses
A vault organization designed around how your teams work, on the platform that fits: shared vaults and roles for least privilege, policies for master password strength, two-step login, and vault export, and single sign-on and user provisioning tied to your identity provider where your plan supports it.
Migrate
Off the spreadsheet, out of the browser
Credentials moved into the vault, browser password storage switched off by policy, shared accounts replaced with named access where the system allows it, and the passwords that were exposed along the way rotated.
Offboard
Access that ends when the person leaves
Joiner, mover, and leaver steps written down and tested: removing a person from your identity provider removes their vault access, and the credentials they could see are rotated on a defined list.
Evidence
A package your auditor can follow
Policy settings, access reviews, and event logs exported to an account you own, mapped to the framework you are measured against: NIST 800-53 IA-5, IA-2, AC-2, and SC-28, PCI DSS Requirement 8, and NERC CIP-004 and CIP-007 where they apply.
What it covers
One vault for every login and key.
The same ownership, roles, and evidence, whether a person or a pipeline holds the key.
People
Every person's logins, tied to your identity provider
Single sign-on and multi-factor authentication for the vault, and access that ends with employment. This closes findings about accounts that outlive the people who held them, with evidence mapped to NIST 800-53 AC-2 and NERC CIP-004 where it applies.
Pipelines and agents
Keys in code, pipelines, and AI agents
Hardcoded keys and .env files moved into a secrets manager, with one scoped machine account per pipeline or agent. This closes hardcoded credentials findings from a code scan and answers PCI DSS 8.6.2.
Who holds the keys
The vault is yours.
The vault organization, its licenses, and its owner accounts sit with your team from day one. Our access during the engagement is a named, time-boxed admin role that your team can revoke.
The vault is encrypted on each person's device before it is stored, so whoever hosts it, the vendor's cloud or your own servers, holds only encrypted data.
What we engineer
Built to the same standard as the rest of the estate.
Three layers, each one engineered, verified, and documented.
Identity
One named person per credential
Single sign-on and user provisioning from your identity provider, with roles and collections that follow a least-privilege model mapped to NIST 800-53 access and identification controls.
Cryptography
The vault in your cryptographic inventory
How master passwords are stretched, how keys are shared between members, and how the vault is reached, recorded with a treatment and a date, alongside the rest of your post-quantum readiness work.
Self-hosted path
A vault with no open door
For a vault on your own servers: hybrid post-quantum key exchange on the connection where both ends support it, and access through the same identity-gated path we engineer for remote access.
Crypto-agility
How we choose the platform.
No mainstream password manager protects the keys members share with post-quantum cryptography yet. Every one encrypts stored data with AES-256, which holds up, and shares keys between members with classical public-key cryptography, which is the part a future quantum computer could break. So the platform is chosen for how well its cryptography can change, against five checks.
1. Where classical cryptography remains
Key sharing, account recovery, and the connection to the vault, each recorded in your cryptographic inventory with a treatment and a date.
2. Published post-quantum progress
What the vendor has shipped and documented. As of October 2026, 1Password runs hybrid post-quantum TLS across its apps and supports post-quantum passkeys, and the Keeper platform wraps its transmission key in hybrid ML-KEM.
3. Rotation without a project
Shared items and organization keys can be rotated and re-shared on a schedule, so a secret copied today has a short useful life.
4. Control of the path
A self-hosted option, on the Bitwarden platform or Vaultwarden, puts the connection behind your own post-quantum edge and keeps every algorithm open to inspection.
5. Validated cryptography where your framework requires it
FIPS 140-3 validated modules for federal and regulated scopes, checked against the vendor's current certificate before the platform is chosen.
Questions
Credential management, answered
Which password managers do you work with?
We build the same design on the platform that fits your team: the Bitwarden platform in its cloud or on servers you control, 1Password in its cloud, or Vaultwarden, the community-built server compatible with Bitwarden apps, for teams that want to run it themselves without a vendor support contract. Each encrypts the vault on the device before anything is stored, so the host never holds your passwords in readable form. Already on the Keeper platform? We work with it, scoped on the call. On another password manager? We review it against the same design.
Cloud or self-hosted?
You choose. A vendor-run cloud vault is the fastest path for most teams. Self-hosting the Bitwarden platform or Vaultwarden in your own tenant suits organizations that need the vault inside their own boundary, such as regulated environments and operational sites. Either way the organization, the licenses, and the admin accounts are yours.
What does post-quantum readiness have to do with a password manager?
A vault holds the credentials that guard everything else, and some of them stay valid for years. We add the vault's own cryptography to your cryptographic inventory: how master passwords are stretched, how keys are shared between members, and how the vault is reached over the network. For a self-hosted vault, the connection in front of it gets hybrid post-quantum key exchange where both ends support it, and it can sit behind the same identity-gated path we engineer for remote access.
Can our pipelines and AI agents use the vault safely?
Yes, through a secrets manager with machine accounts, such as Bitwarden Secrets Manager or 1Password service accounts. Keys move out of scripts, .env files, and CI settings, and each pipeline or agent gets its own account limited to the secrets it needs, so a leaked token exposes one small set and can be revoked on its own. Access tokens get an expiry date and a named owner for rotation. This also answers PCI DSS 8.6, which bars hardcoded passwords for system and application accounts.
Does it work with our identity provider?
Yes. Single sign-on works with Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, and Okta, and with JumpCloud or any SAML 2.0 or OIDC provider. Automatic provisioning runs through SCIM or a directory connector where your provider and plan support it.
Which plan do we need?
It depends on the platform and what you need from it. Single sign-on, admin policies, and automatic provisioning usually sit on the business or enterprise tiers. We size it on the scoping call, and the licenses are billed to you by the vendor.
We already have a password manager. Can you fix what we have?
Yes. We review the existing organization against the same design: policies, roles, collections, single sign-on, offboarding, and event logging. Then we close the gaps and document the result.
Who runs it after the engagement ends?
Your team does. We hand over a run pack with the organization design, the policy settings, and runbooks for adding people, removing them, and rotating shared credentials. If you want a second pair of hands, FEDLIN support is available afterward as a separate arrangement.
Which frameworks does the evidence map to?
The one you are measured against. The same deployment maps to NIST 800-53 (IA-5 authenticator management, IA-2, AC-2, SC-28), NIST CSF 2.0, and PCI DSS Requirement 8, and to NERC CIP-004 access revocation and CIP-007 R5 where those requirements apply.
How is credential management priced?
At a fixed price set by the number of people and systems in scope and whether the vault is cloud or self-hosted. After a scoping call, we return a fixed scope within 24 hours (business days). Password manager licenses are separate and billed to you by the vendor.
Shared passwords you can't account for, or an audit asking how access ends?
Book a scoping call. We size the people, systems, and hosting choice, and return a fixed price within 24 hours (business days).
