About Passwork

Why we built this course

The number of cyberattacks on businesses is growing every year. Phishing, ransomware, credential theft, supply chain attacks — these aren't just enterprise problems anymore. Small and mid-sized companies are increasingly targeted precisely because they're assumed to have weaker defenses.

At the same time, building a dedicated security team is expensive, slow, and requires expertise most companies don't yet have. Hiring a CISO, standing up a SOC, running formal security programs — these are the right long-term goals, but they're out of reach for most organizations right now.

We created this course because we believe security doesn't have to start with a big budget or a specialist hire. It starts with one person on the team taking ownership — understanding the risks, implementing practical controls, and building the habits and culture that make a company harder to attack.

That person is the Security Champion. And this course is built to make them effective from day one.

About Passwork

Passwork is a European business password and secrets manager, built for teams that take security seriously.

We started with a simple observation: most security tools are either too complex for everyday use or too limited for real business needs. The result is that people work around them — storing credentials in spreadsheets, sharing passwords over chat, skipping security steps because they slow down the workflow.

Passwork was designed from the ground up to be both secure and usable. Secure without being rigid. Powerful without being complex. Built for any team size, from a 10-person startup to a 30,000-user enterprise.

What Passwork does

Password management for teams. Shared vaults with granular permissions, role-based access control, audit logs, and Active Directory / LDAP integration. Your team gets one source of truth for credentials — with visibility into who has access to what and a full history of every change.

Secrets management for DevOps. A CLI tool, Python SDK, and REST API for injecting secrets into CI/CD pipelines, containers, and automated workflows. Infrastructure teams can retrieve secrets programmatically without hardcoding credentials in scripts or environment files.

Zero-knowledge architecture. All encryption happens client-side. The server stores only encrypted data. Neither Passwork employees nor server administrators can access your passwords — even if the server were compromised.

Two deployment options:

• On-premise — installed on your own infrastructure. Your data never leaves your servers. Preferred by government agencies, regulated industries, and companies with strict data sovereignty requirements.
• Cloud — hosted by Passwork in EU data centers. Faster to get started, no infrastructure to maintain. Same zero-knowledge architecture applies.

Security credentials

Passwork's security is independently validated:

• ISO 27001 certified — information security management certified since 2024
• HackerOne penetration testing — independently tested by the world's leading security research platform
• GDPR compliant — hosted in Germany (AWS EU), full data sovereignty

Trusted by businesses worldwide

Passwork is used by thousands of companies across Europe and beyond — from small teams to public sector organizations and Fortune 500 companies. Customers choose Passwork for control, compliance, and a partnership approach that doesn't involve pressure tactics or aggressive sales cycles.

"A partnership-first approach: no pressure, no hassle — just genuine support, and a team that treats you like a true partner, from your first demo to long-term success."

— Alex Muntyan, CEO of Passwork

The company

Passwork is a bootstrapped, founder-owned European company. We started in Finland, grew across Europe, and are now headquartered in Barcelona, Spain — with a remote-first team across Europe, Latin America, and Asia. We're not venture-backed. We grow by building something people actually want to use.
