Secure password management for MSPs

Managed service providers (MSPs) and managed security service providers (MSSPs) play a critical role in helping businesses navigate an increasingly complex cybersecurity landscape. As trusted partners, MSPs often lead the way in implementing best practices, managing security operations, and maintaining regulatory compliance.

Bitwarden equips MSPs with a flexible, secure platform to manage credentials at scale. Whether deploying across clients, reselling to customers, or securing internal operations, Bitwarden delivers a purpose-built solution with the tools, support, and integrations to drive measurable outcomes.

The Bitwarden Provider Portal provides MSPs with a centralized command center to manage multiple client organizations, each with its own vault and customizable, role-based access. This multi-tenant environment simplifies operations and reduces administrative overhead.

Partners can monitor client subscriptions, organize credential structures, and configure access controls based on diverse client needs. Partners can also create separate Organizations for each supported client, assigning administrative seats as needed. This setup enables management and flexibility in delegating credential responsibilities, supported by configurable vault privacy settings.

Administrative features, such as SCIM (available for Enterprise and Teams plans) and the Bitwarden Directory Connector, streamline user lifecycle management by syncing with existing directory services. These tools automate account provisioning and removal, helping partners maintain up-to-date user access across client organizations. Each Organization can be configured with its own protocol, ensuring flexibility while supporting consistent security practices.

Out-of-the-box integrations connect Bitwarden with a growing ecosystem of security, identity, and compliance platforms, reducing manual overhead and enabling faster responses to client needs.

• Identity providers (IdPs) like Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, OneLogin, and JumpCloud support seamless SSO across client environments.

• SIEM platforms, such as Microsoft Sentinel and Splunk, provide real-time visibility into user behavior and password-related events.

• Compliance automation tools such as Vanta, Rippling, and Rapid7 help MSPs streamline audits, meet regulatory requirements, and automate reporting.

These integrations reduce credential sprawl, simplify policy enforcement, and deliver cohesive security operations across client environments.

Bitwarden structures its Partner Program to meet the evolving needs of MSPs, supporting business growth, client success, and long-term profitability. The Bitwarden Partner Program continues to scale globally, with 97% year-over-year growth in MSP-managed seats and onboarding 62% more organizations in 2025. Today, thousands of organizations rely on Bitwarden through their MSPs for secure, scalable credential management.

Localized support teams provide guidance tailored to regional needs, while flexible licensing models enable low-friction scaling. Not-for-resale (NRF) licenses also allow partners to use Bitwarden internally after reaching customer seat thresholds.

Programs like Partner of the Quarter recognize standout MSPs helping to advance credential security and customer success throughout the broader partner community. 

Many partners are seeing rapid seat adoption across their client base. Cybernet Evolution reported nearly 100% client adoption of password management through the Bitwarden Partner Program. Ascend Technology Group achieved full adoption and 97% client retention by integrating Bitwarden into its security stack.

“Bitwarden has been a game-changer for our MSP business. From onboarding to deployment, the process has been seamless, and the support exceptional. It’s helped us build deeper trust with our clients,” said Michael Parisi, COO, Cybernet Evolution.

Robust reporting and monitoring tools help partners drive better password habits across their client base. Vault Health reports uncover weak or reused credentials, flag potential breaches via dark web monitoring, and surface insights MSPs can use to engage clients in remediation.

“Bitwarden empowers us to offer best-in-class credential management in a way that’s frictionless and secure for both our clients and our team,” said Larry Bianculli, Managing Partner, Ascend Technologies.

Each client organization has access to its own vault for storing and sharing logins, identities, payment information, and secure notes. End users also gain access to individual vaults, creating a clear boundary between personal and organizational credentials. Bitwarden supports both cloud-based and self-hosted environments, with compatibility across various platforms, including browsers, mobile devices, desktop platforms, and command-line interfaces (CLIs). 

For value-added resellers (VARs), Bitwarden can manage technical support directly, allowing partners to focus on customer relationships or offer their own consulting services. GuidePoint Security, a leading cybersecurity solutions provider, now includes Bitwarden as part of its enterprise offerings, extending credential security to a broader range of organizations through tailored implementation support and strategic consulting

Partners can get started right away by creating a free account and adding an Organization. With no seat minimums, transparent consolidated billing, and onboarding support, it’s easy to begin scaling password security across your client base. See more detailed instructions here.
