Protect high-risk accounts with a self-hosted, open-source platform designed for strict security and compliance requirements. Enable secure collaboration without giving up control. Built for security teams managing privileged accounts and sensitive operational workflows.
Security teams manage an organisation’s highest-risk assets: privileged and shared credentials, service and infrastructure accounts, access used for security testing and external operations, credentials protecting compliance-critical systems, and sensitive operational notes. One mismanaged secret or leaked procedure can lead to a high impact breach.
Security teams need tools that don’t force trade-offs and that support real-world constraints: air-gapped environments, strict end-to-end encryption (E2EE), cryptographic algorithm choices, open standards, principle of least-privilege (PoLP) at scale and protection for sensitive operational context. The same level of assurance also applies to collaborative credential management across security-focused development teams.
Passbolt provides the self-hosted, open-source foundation with audited public/private key cryptography removing black-box risks. It meets the needs of high-risk security workflows while remaining practical for organisation-wide adoption.
"The transition from our in-house solution to Passbolt has empowered the central IT services department at TU Graz to improve credential storage, boosting productivity and operational security through optimized team synergies and reduced maintenance efforts."

Passbolt is the only open-source, self-hosted credential manager built with client-side OpenPGP encryption, per-user/per-secret key isolation, and organisation-controlled cryptography, designed specifically for SOC teams, CISOs, blue teams, penetration testers, and MSSPs who handle high-risk accounts.
Passbolt eliminates black-box trust by ensuring secrets never leave the client unencrypted, and by allowing security teams to fully govern where data lives, how it’s encrypted, and who has access.
Yes. Passbolt is a GDPR-compliant password manager that is SOC2 Type II certified, independently audited by Cure53, and aligned with NIS2 and ISO 27001 requirements.
Being headquartered in Luxembourg under EU jurisdiction further reinforces strict privacy and data protection guarantees. Read the audit reports and learn more on Passbolt’s security here.

Passbolt uses client-side, per-user, per-secret encryption, meaning each secret is individually encrypted with the user’s own OpenPGP keypair which means no shared vault key, no server-side decryption, and no vendor-managed cryptography.
Even if infrastructure is compromised, high-privilege accounts (CISO accounts, SOC tooling credentials, MSSP customer root accounts, pentest environments, critical infrastructure logins) remain protected.
Passbolt also has immutable audit logs and strict Least Privilege enforcement to prevent privilege escalation and lateral movement.
Yes. Passbolt is fully self-hosted and supports on-premise, behind-firewall, and air-gapped deployments with zero telemetry, no trackers, and no vendor dependencies.
This makes it suitable for SOCs, MSSPs, security agencies, and teams operating in restricted networks or high-assurance environments.
Yes. Passbolt recognises the unique security, compliance and operational requirements of dedicated security teams. Specialised enterprise plans and deployment options are available, designed to support SOCs, MSSPs, penetration testing teams and organisations managing high-risk credentials.

Yes. Passbolt is built on OpenPGP, giving organisations complete control over their cryptographic model including algorithm choice, key-strength requirements and full ownership of private keys.
Each user generates and owns their own keypair, meaning there is no master vault key, no server-side decryptor and no vendor-managed cryptography. Because the entire implementation is open source and fully auditable, cryptographic workflows are transparent and free from proprietary black-box risk. Passbolt also supports external decryption workflows and tooling integrations, ensuring interoperability without locking teams into a vendor-controlled encryption scheme.
