Our Approach
Unlike many IT firms, we do not resell password management software. Why? Because we believe your password manager should be 100% under your control, not tied to your IT support contract.
You don’t want your subscription—and access to critical credentials—dependent on your IT provider. Even though IT firms shouldn’t (and typically don’t) have access to most of your passwords, the safest approach is for your business to own and manage the subscription directly.
