Why Choose Passbolt?

Healthcare organisations operate systems that can’t afford to stop. Access is required across shifts, teams, and emergencies, often under pressure and outside office hours.

Rotating staff, on-call teams, third-party devices, and vendor-managed medical systems make shared access chaotic yet unavoidable. File-based tools and informal sharing fail at scale, leaving teams without clear ownership, fragmented visibility, and controls that only explain incidents after they happen.

Passbolt is the self-hosted, open-source password manager designed to help healthcare organisations structure and control shared access before incidents occur. By keeping credentials inside hospital infrastructure and aligning governance with how hospitals actually operate, Passbolt limits over-permissioning and access sprawl, securing critical 24/7 systems with clarity and control.

"As I’m deeply committed to open-source culture, I have always and continue to believe in leveraging “open” software and hardware to fuel growth and innovation. This belief led me to introduce Passbolt to Copan Group back in 2021, a move that has dramatically transformed our approach to Team Password Management across IT. The adoption of Passbolt has significantly bolstered our cybersecurity framework and enhanced our operational efficiency, marking it as an essential component of our IT infrastructure. Our commitment to Passbolt reflects our dedication to fostering a secure, efficient, and collaborative work environment. I am proud to see how this investment has generated substantial benefits for securing our global operations"

This eliminates the risk of shared "master" passwords and ensures that external technicians only access the systems they are authorized to maintain.

Learn more about Passbolt architecture
