Identity and Access
Password managers for business
The password manager holds the credentials to everything else you own, which makes it the highest value target in your environment and the one place worth getting right. Licensed monthly, supported by Nuformat, available across Canada and the United States.
Choosing between the two plans comes down to one question: do you need SCIM provisioning? It revokes a departing employee's access automatically when you remove them from your identity provider. Past about 30 people that matters, because doing it by hand is the step that gets missed. Below 20, it does not, and the smaller plan is the honest answer.

Canadian data residency
Encrypted data can be stored in Canada, the United States or the European Union, chosen when the account is created rather than changed later. For organizations with provincial privacy obligations or contractual residency requirements, that is usually the first question asked and the one that decides whether a product is viable at all.
Frequently asked questions
Which password manager should a small business buy?
For a team under 20 people, the 1Password Teams Starter Pack covers it. It includes 10 members, scales to 20, and leaves out single sign-on and SCIM provisioning, which a team that size does not need.
When do we need SCIM provisioning?
Past about 30 people. SCIM revokes a departing employee's password manager access automatically when they are removed from your identity provider. Done by hand that step gets missed, and the password manager holds the credentials to everything else.
Can our password vault data stay in Canada?
Yes. 1Password offers data residency in Canada, the United States and the European Union, chosen when the account is created. Canadian organizations with residency obligations can keep encrypted data in Canada.
Is a password manager worth it if we already use Microsoft Entra ID?
Usually yes. Entra ID handles the accounts you federate. A password manager covers everything you cannot federate, which in most organizations is the majority of credentials: vendor portals, shared service accounts, API tokens and SSH keys.
