Bitwarden consultants

Q: Can we self-host Bitwarden for full data sovereignty?

Yes. Bitwarden provides a self-hosted option using Docker containers. You run the server on your own infrastructure (on-premise or cloud VM), which means all encrypted vault data stays within your environment. This is common for Australian organisations with data residency requirements or strict compliance policies.

Q: How does Bitwarden integrate with our existing identity provider?

Bitwarden Enterprise supports SSO login via SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect. It also supports directory sync with Azure AD, Okta, OneLogin, G Suite, and LDAP directories. This means user accounts and group memberships can stay in sync with your identity provider automatically.

Q: Can user provisioning in Bitwarden be automated?

Yes. The Bitwarden Directory Connector syncs users and groups from your directory service. Combined with the Bitwarden CLI or API, you can script user invitations, group assignments, and offboarding removals as part of automated HR workflows triggered through n8n or similar tools.

Q: Is Bitwarden secure enough for enterprise use?

Bitwarden undergoes annual third-party security audits and publishes the results publicly. The entire codebase is open-source and available on GitHub for independent review. It supports hardware security keys (FIDO2/WebAuthn), TOTP, and Duo for two-factor authentication. SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance documentation is available.

Q: How do shared vaults work for team credential management?

Organisation vaults let you create collections of credentials grouped by project, client, or department. Each collection can have different access permissions (read-only or read/write) assigned to specific groups or individual users. Changes sync across all authorised users in real time.

Q: Can Bitwarden send alerts when credentials are compromised?

Bitwarden includes a vault health report that checks your stored passwords against known data breach databases (via Have I Been Pwned integration). It also flags reused passwords and weak passwords. These reports can be reviewed in the web vault or pulled via the CLI for automated monitoring.

About Bitwarden

Bitwarden is an open-source password manager that stores login credentials, credit card details, secure notes, and identity information in an encrypted vault. It uses AES-256 encryption with PBKDF2-SHA256 key derivation, and all encryption happens client-side before data reaches Bitwarden’s servers. The platform offers apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.

For businesses, Bitwarden provides organisation vaults where teams can share credentials securely with role-based access controls. It supports SSO integration with SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect, directory sync with Azure AD, Okta, and LDAP, and enforced two-factor authentication policies. Organisations that need full control over their data can self-host Bitwarden on their own infrastructure.

Where Bitwarden fits into automation is credential lifecycle management. When an employee joins or leaves, their access to shared vaults needs updating. Using the Bitwarden CLI or API, you can automate user provisioning and deprovisioning as part of your onboarding workflows. For teams managing shared credentials across client projects or infrastructure, connecting Bitwarden to your HR and IT systems through business automation workflows means one less manual process to forget.

How it works

We work hand-in-hand with you to implement Bitwarden

As Bitwarden consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate Bitwarden with integrate and automate 800+ tools.

Step 1

Set Up Your Bitwarden Organisation

Create a Bitwarden organisation and choose your hosting model (cloud-hosted or self-hosted). For self-hosted deployments, install the Bitwarden server stack using Docker on your preferred infrastructure. Configure your organisation’s security policies, including password complexity requirements and two-factor authentication enforcement.

Step 2

Configure Directory Sync and SSO

Install the Bitwarden Directory Connector and link it to your identity provider (Azure AD, Okta, LDAP, or G Suite). Map your directory groups to Bitwarden groups. If using SSO, configure the SAML 2.0 or OpenID Connect settings in the Bitwarden admin console.

Step 3

Create Collections and Assign Permissions

Organise your vault into collections based on your team structure, such as per-client, per-project, or per-department groupings. Assign read or read/write permissions to the appropriate groups. Import existing credentials from CSV or other password manager export files.

Step 4

Automate User Provisioning via the API

Use the Bitwarden CLI or Public API to script user invitation and group assignment workflows. Connect these scripts to your HR onboarding process through n8n or a similar automation platform, so new employees receive vault access automatically when their directory account is created.

Step 5

Roll Out Browser Extensions and Mobile Apps

Deploy the Bitwarden browser extension to your team’s devices via group policy (for Chrome/Edge) or manual installation. Share setup instructions for mobile apps on iOS and Android. Configure autofill settings and verify that SSO login works from all client platforms.

Step 6

Set Up Vault Health Monitoring

Schedule regular vault health report checks to identify reused, weak, or breached passwords. Use the Bitwarden CLI to export these reports and feed them into your monitoring dashboard or alerting workflow. Review organisation event logs for suspicious activity like unusual login locations or failed authentication attempts.
