Introducing Passwd architecture
Enterprise plan
Tier: Enterprise
Passwd’s Enterprise plan offers full control over your data and infrastructure, making it ideal for teams that require maximum security and compliance. Here’s how the self-hosted architecture works:
A cloud-native app
It is a cloud-native app that runs in your cloud infrastructure. This means that you don’t need to maintain any hardware or servers but, at the same time, only you can access your data. Simply click to add Passwd to your account under Google Cloud Platform and you’re good to go. From the user perspective, it works just like your Google apps thanks to the Workspace integration. In other words, we combine the simplicity of SaaS apps with the privacy of self-hosted apps.
Private and secure
The instance runs on your cloud and your data can be accessed only by you. We can’t access it because the app we provide is hosted on your cloud, not our servers. All the information you store in Passwd is encrypted, and only you can decrypt it with your keys. Passwd encryption and decryption is managed by the industry leading Google Cloud Key Management Service.
No maintenance
Another benefit of passwd is that you don’t need an admin to maintain it. Moreover, you always get the latest version without any further charges, and the app is updated automatically and regularly. And in case you really do need any help, you can reach out to our support any time.
Complete data control
With the self-hosted version, your data is stored directly within your own Google Cloud environment, which means you have full control over data residency and access. You can choose the specific regions where your data is stored, ensuring compliance with data residency regulations, including GDPR. See Google Cloud’s commitment to the GDPR. Apart from Google and you, there is no other party.
Integration with Google Workspace
Passwd integrates seamlessly with your Google Workspace, simplifying the login process. Once you're logged into your Google account, you're automatically authenticated and able to access your password manager securely.
GDPR and SOC2 Compliance
The self-hosted instance is designed to be GDPR and SOC2 compliant by default. With this setup, your data stays private, encrypted, and under your complete control. You manage all aspects of the infrastructure and access, ensuring your organization adheres to regulatory compliance requirements.
Advanced encryption with Google Key Management
For self-hosted customers, your data is encrypted using Google Key Management Service (KMS), meaning that encryption keys are under your control, further enhancing security.
Granular access control
As an administrator, you determine who has access to what data within your organization. You can configure access controls, share credentials securely with team members, and ensure that sensitive information is only accessible to authorized personnel.
Workspace plan
Tier: Workspace
In this case, Passwd is hosted on our secure servers and provides a fully managed, hassle-free password management solution for teams. While this version is not designed for GDPR or SOC2 compliance by default, it still offers high levels of security, making it a reliable choice for teams that don’t require self-hosting.
The best part is how simple it is. In just a few easy steps, your Google Workspace will be fully protected, and your team's password management will be simplified.
Hosted on our secure servers
In the Workspace plan, your data is stored on our encrypted servers, managed by our dedicated security team. We ensure that all security protocols are followed to protect your data from unauthorized access, keeping it secure from end to end.
Seamless Integration with Google Workspace
Just like the self-hosted solution, Passwd integrates with your Google Workspace. You can easily log in with your Google account, making the experience seamless and secure.
Advanced encryption
Even though your data is hosted on our servers, we use strong encryption to protect your passwords and sensitive information, both in transit and at rest. This ensures that your data is secure, even when stored off-premises.
Access control
You maintain control over who has access to your team’s passwords. Passwd allows you to manage permissions, ensuring that only authorized users can access certain data, and share login details safely within your team.
Security comparison between Workspace and Enterprise plans
Enterprise plan: Offers complete control over data, infrastructure, and compliance, making it ideal for teams that need full control over their environment and need to meet specific regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR, SOC2).
Workspace plan: Managed by Passwd, this option offers strong security with encryption, but does not provide the same level of compliance control as the self-hosted version. It’s a great choice for teams who want a secure, hassle-free password manager without managing infrastructure.
Easy start and use
