    Internal system

Ackee Blockchain is dedicated to auditing blockchain solutions. The team excels in smart contract auditing, developing security tools, and providing blockchain security education. Trusted by top industry players, Ackee Blockchain aims to lead the way in the field.

Challenges

  1. Decentralized system:

    Since Ackee Blockchain is built around decentralized apps, having a self-deployed, secure cloud solution was a priority for them.

  2. 2FA support:

    Ackee Blockchain wanted a solution that enforced two-factor authentication and integrated seamlessly with existing security policies.

  3. User Management:

    They were looking for a way to assign a secret to multiple users at once, by leveraging Google Groups, instead of managing individual user permissions manually.

  4. Performance:

    The team needed a faster way to access secrets across teams without delays.

Solution

After evaluating alternatives such as 1Password and Bitwarden, Ackee Blockchain chose Passwd for its:

Google Workspace integration

Passwd’s seamless integration with Google Groups and users was a key factor, aligning perfectly with their Google-based infrastructure.

Role-based access control

The ability to assign secrets based on Google Groups rather than individual users simplified the workflow and reduced human errors.

Simplified onboarding/offboarding

With Google Group-based access, Ackee Blockchain could automatically grant or revoke access when employees join or leave, saving time and improving reliability.

Security enforcement

Passwd helped with 2FA (TOTP), aligning with security policies and ensuring secure access across teams.

Implementation

Implementing Passwd was a smooth process for Ackee Blockchain. The platform was intuitive and easy to set up, without requiring extensive onboarding. Within no time, the team was able to transition to Passwd, and its integration with Google Workspace. There were no disruptions, and the solution seamlessly fit into their workflow right away.

Results

Ackee Blockchain has upgraded its secret management with Passwd, having the right balance between security and efficiency. The integration with Google Workspace was a game-changer, solving key challenges while saving time and reducing manual errors.
