Secure every employee. Eliminate spreadsheet secrets. Keep full control.

Q: What is an enterprise password management solution?

Software that centralizes credential storage, sharing, and lifecycle management across an organization. It covers team sharing, IT-controlled provisioning, audit trails, and compliance reporting, and replaces ad hoc stores like shared spreadsheets and personal password managers.

Q: How is it different from a consumer password manager?

Consumer tools solve one person's passwords. An enterprise password management solution solves organizational problems: team sharing with revocation, provisioning tied to identity, approval workflows for privileged secrets, and IT visibility into usage.

Q: Why does self-hosting matter?

Self-hosting keeps credentials inside infrastructure you control rather than a vendor's multi-tenant cloud, which many security and compliance teams require for their most sensitive secrets.

Q: Do we still need this if we already use SSO?

Yes, for what SSO does not cover: legacy apps, service accounts, third-party portals without SSO, shared social accounts, banking credentials, and infrastructure passwords.

Q: Which compliance frameworks does it support?

Reports and audit trails map to SOX, PCI DSS 4.0, HIPAA, ISO 27001:2022, GDPR, and CMMC 2.0.

Workforce password management tool

Self-hosted workforce password management that gives IT centralized, encrypted control over every employee credential.

Built for real-world workforce password management

Netwrix Password Secure gives organizations a practical way to store, control, rotate, and audit shared and privileged passwords without slowing teams down. Unlike cloud-only consumer tools, it gives you full data ownership through self-hosted deployment. Run it in the cloud, on-prem, or hybrid, so your most sensitive secrets stay in infrastructure you control.

Centralized, end-to-end encrypted vault for every employee

Password Secure provides a centralized vault protected by end-to-end encryption where employees store secrets - like passwords, keys, PINs, tokens, and certificates - in one secure location. Each user has personal secret storage. Teams collaborate through structured team spaces governed by role-based access control. IT maintains full visibility into who has access to which secrets and how they are used.

Enforce what policies say should happen

Policies often state that passwords must be strong, rotated, protected with MFA, and shared securely. In reality, enforcement is inconsistent. Password Secure enforces role-based access control, multi-factor authentication, approval workflows, and complete audit logging. You see who accessed a shared secret, when it was accessed, and what actions were taken. Privileged usage can be monitored and recorded. Access can be revoked instantly during offboarding. You reduce insider risk without disrupting daily work.

Built for teams growing beyond 100 employees

Consumer password managers work for small teams. They break when the organization grows. When teams exceed 100 employees, vault sprawl begins. Permissions become unclear. Shared credentials lose ownership. Adoption outside IT declines. Audit visibility disappears. Password Secure structures workforce password management from the start. It delivers centralized governance, clean RBAC models, and consistent policy enforcement across the entire organization. Every user is included. Every secret is governed.

Connect PAM and unify secret governance

Secrets should not live in disconnected silos. With the NPS to NPWS connector, organizations can use Password Secure as the vault for relevant secrets across systems. You connect PAM environments and apply consistent policies across privileged and non-privileged credentials. Shared admin accounts, service accounts, and application credentials follow the same governance model. Secrets exist in one controlled system, not scattered across tools.

Access reviews and compliance

Example

An operations team shares a service account password across multiple administrators.

Without Netwrix Password Secure,

the credential lives in a spreadsheet. No one knows who used it last. It rarely gets rotated because changes break scripts. When an administrator leaves, IT is unsure where the password is stored or who still has access.

With Netwrix Password Secure,

the service account resides in a centrally managed, end-to-end encrypted vault. Access requires MFA. Usage is logged. Rotation follows defined policies. When an administrator leaves, access is revoked immediately and the event is documented.

Anywhere work, fully governed secrets

Support the modern workforce

Password Secure supports employees wherever they work. Users access secrets through a web interface, autofill browser extensions, and mobile apps. Authentication methods align with corporate standards. Custom branding increases trust and adoption.

Users gain easy access to the credentials they need. IT retains control.

Be ready for your next audit

Organizations struggle to answer critical questions about password hygiene, shared accounts, privileged password rotation, credential access, offboarding timelines, and credential-related incidents.

Password Secure delivers full reporting and a complete logbook of password-related activity. Audit preparation takes minutes.

“Password Secure is an extreme time and cost saver, especially for our IT! We wouldn’t even know how to manage our day-to-day business without Password Secure.”

How Netwrix Password Secure compares

Spreadsheets, browser saving, and consumer password managers were never built for team credentials, and cloud-only enterprise vaults keep your secrets in a vendor's multi-tenant cloud. Here is how Netwrix compares.

Why choose Password Secure?

Self-hosted control most cloud-only vaults do not offer

Password Secure runs inside your infrastructure, not in a third-party SaaS vault. You maintain data ownership and encryption control while building on deployment flexibility.

Enterprise governance, not consumer sprawl

Consumer-focused password managers create thousands of unmanaged vaults and permission models that no one maintains. Password Secure delivers structured RBAC, approval workflows, centralized governance, and complete audit visibility. It supports enterprise-wide adoption, not just IT usage.

Unified control for all users and all secrets

Most organizations still rely on passwords for authentication across legacy systems, services, and applications. Password Secure gives you control over password quality, MFA enforcement for shared accounts, secret management, secure sharing, and integration with PAM systems.
