Tipos de bóvedas

Passwork 7.1 introduce una arquitectura robusta de tipos de bóvedas, proporcionando control de acceso de nivel empresarial para una seguridad y gestión mejoradas. Los tipos de bóvedas abordan un desafío clave para los administradores: controlar el acceso a los datos y delegar la gestión de bóvedas en organizaciones grandes. Anteriormente, la elección se limitaba a dos tipos. Ahora, puede crear tipos de bóvedas personalizados adaptados a cualquier tarea o estructura organizativa.

Para cada departamento o proyecto, puede crear un tipo de bóveda dedicado, asignar administradores específicos, elegir los permisos del creador y definir quién puede crear bóvedas de este tipo.

Por ejemplo, puede crear bóvedas separadas para el departamento de TI, finanzas, recursos humanos o equipos de proyectos temporales. Los administradores asignados a un tipo de bóveda específico se añadirán automáticamente a todas las nuevas bóvedas de este tipo, asegurando un control y transparencia constantes.

Qué son los tipos de bóvedas

Los tipos de bóvedas permiten a los administradores establecer plantillas de bóvedas con configuraciones de gestión de acceso predefinidas. Para cada tipo de bóveda, puede designar administradores específicos, configurar los permisos del creador de la bóveda y establecer reglas o restricciones para crear nuevas bóvedas.

Puede organizar las bóvedas por departamento, proyecto o nivel de acceso, asegurando que los permisos se asignen con precisión

Cuando se crea una bóveda, los administradores especificados en la configuración del tipo de bóveda reciben acceso automáticamente. Estos administradores no pueden ser eliminados ni degradados, asegurando que el personal clave — como jefes de departamento o administradores de TI — siempre mantenga el control sobre los datos críticos.

Tipos de bóvedas básicos

Passwork tiene dos tipos de bóvedas básicos: Bóvedas de usuario y Bóvedas de empresa — no pueden eliminarse ni renombrarse:

• Bóvedas de usuario: Por defecto, estas solo son accesibles para sus creadores y se categorizan como privadas o compartidas. Una bóveda privada se convierte en compartida cuando el propietario de esta bóveda otorga acceso a otros usuarios.
• Bóvedas de empresa: Estas bóvedas están disponibles tanto para el creador como para los administradores corporativos, quienes reciben acceso automáticamente. Los administradores corporativos no pueden ser eliminados ni degradados, asegurando una supervisión y control continuos.

Además de los tipos básicos, puede crear tipos de bóvedas personalizados ilimitados.

Ventajas de los tipos de bóvedas

Los tipos de bóvedas permiten a los administradores de Passwork controlar quién puede crear bóvedas, asignar automáticamente administradores que no pueden ser eliminados y gestionar eficazmente los permisos de los creadores.

• Control constante: Las nuevas bóvedas de un tipo específico incluyen automáticamente administradores no eliminables, asegurando un acceso continuo a los datos críticos y estándares de seguridad consistentes en todas las bóvedas del mismo tipo.
• Flexibilidad de permisos: Puede permitir que los usuarios creen bóvedas mientras restringe ciertas acciones, como prohibirles invitar a otros usuarios.
• Delegación: Los tipos de bóvedas permiten una distribución granular de permisos — por ejemplo, el director de TI puede gestionar las bóvedas de TI, mientras que el director de ventas supervisa las bóvedas del departamento de ventas.
• Auditoría y análisis: Vea fácilmente todas las bóvedas del sistema, junto con sus tipos y usuarios asociados, y ajuste rápidamente los tipos de bóvedas según sea necesario.
• Creación de bóvedas simplificada: No es necesario configurar los permisos desde cero cada vez.

Las bóvedas de todos los tipos admiten una estructura multinivel basada en carpetas, lo que permite a los administradores crear jerarquías con elementos anidados

Gestión de tipos de bóvedas

En la página Configuración de bóvedas, puede gestionar todos los tipos de bóvedas, ver su lista y configurar los permisos de acceso a acciones. El acceso a esta sección está controlado por permisos de rol individuales, asegurando que solo los usuarios autorizados puedan modificar configuraciones críticas.

Creación de tipos de bóvedas

Puede elegir entre los tipos de bóvedas básicos o crear sus propios tipos personalizados. Para configurar un tipo de bóveda personalizado, haga clic en Crear tipo de bóveda.

La ventana de creación de tipo de bóveda ofrece las siguientes opciones:

• Nombre — especifique el nombre del tipo de bóveda.
• Administradores — seleccione los usuarios que se añadirán automáticamente a todas las bóvedas de este tipo con permisos de administrador.
• Acceso del creador — defina el nivel de acceso otorgado a los usuarios que crean bóvedas de este tipo. Por ejemplo, puede permitir que los empleados creen bóvedas sin permitirles invitar a otros usuarios.
• Quién puede crear bóvedas — determine quién puede crear bóvedas de este tipo: usuarios específicos, grupos, roles o todos los usuarios.

Edición de tipos de bóvedas

Los usuarios con acceso a la pestaña Tipos de bóvedas pueden modificar los tipos de bóvedas renombrándolos, añadiendo o eliminando administradores y actualizando los permisos de creación de bóvedas. Para editar un tipo de bóveda, selecciónelo de la lista de todos los tipos y ajuste los campos necesarios.

Si se añade un usuario como administrador a un tipo de bóveda existente, debe confirmar la solicitud para otorgarle acceso a las bóvedas correspondientes.

Eliminación de tipos de bóvedas

Para eliminar un tipo de bóveda, seleccione uno o más tipos en la pestaña Tipos de bóvedas y haga clic en Eliminar en el menú desplegable en la parte superior de la lista.

Auditoría y cambio de tipo de bóveda

En la pestaña Todas las bóvedas, puede ver todas las bóvedas junto con sus tipos, listas de usuarios y administradores. Además, puede cambiar rápidamente el tipo de una bóveda — por ejemplo, cuando se reorganiza un departamento o se crea un nuevo proyecto.

Tiene la opción de filtrar las bóvedas por tipo o mostrar solo aquellas a las que tiene acceso.

Configuración

La pestaña Configuración permite definir el nivel de acceso mínimo requerido para realizar acciones específicas dentro de los directorios, así como establecer el tamaño máximo de archivo para los adjuntos vinculados a contraseñas.

Migración desde versiones anteriores

Al migrar desde versiones anteriores, puede asignar un tipo de bóveda a las bóvedas importadas en la ventana de importación de bóvedas, siempre que elija la opción de importar al directorio raíz.

Al actualizar de Passwork 6 a la versión 7, el sistema convierte automáticamente las bóvedas existentes:

• Las bóvedas privadas permanecen privadas y reciben el tipo Bóvedas de usuario. Sus permisos y derechos de acceso permanecen sin cambios.
• Las bóvedas compartidas también reciben el tipo Bóvedas de usuario. Todos los usuarios y sus permisos se conservan.
• Las bóvedas de organización se convierten al tipo de bóveda de empresa. Los administradores se restauran y se vuelven no eliminables, con la estructura de acceso conservada.

Preguntas frecuentes

• ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre los tipos de bóvedas y las bóvedas normales? Las bóvedas normales son contenedores para almacenar contraseñas. Los tipos de bóvedas son reglas y plantillas que definen cómo se crean y gestionan las bóvedas de un tipo específico.
• ¿Es obligatorio usar tipos de bóvedas? No, usar tipos de bóvedas personalizados no es obligatorio. Siempre tendrá acceso a los tipos básicos: bóvedas privadas para contraseñas personales y bóvedas compartidas para contraseñas que los usuarios comparten de forma independiente.

• ¿En qué se diferencian los administradores corporativos de los normales? Los administradores corporativos son usuarios que reciben automáticamente derechos de administrador en todas las bóvedas de un tipo específico. Asignar administradores corporativos garantiza un control permanente sobre los datos críticos.

• ¿Puedo cambiar los administradores en un tipo existente? Sí, puede modificar la lista de administradores en la configuración del tipo de bóveda. Al añadir un nuevo usuario, el sistema crea automáticamente solicitudes para añadir al nuevo administrador a todas las bóvedas existentes de ese tipo.

• ¿Cómo restrinjo quién puede crear bóvedas de un tipo específico? Al crear o editar un tipo de bóveda, vaya a Quién puede crear bóvedas y elija una de las opciones: Todos los usuarios — cualquier usuario puede crear una bóveda de este tipo, o acceso limitado — solo usuarios, roles o grupos seleccionados.
• ¿Puedo cambiar el tipo de una bóveda existente? Sí, puede cambiar el tipo de una bóveda existente, pero solo si tiene derechos de administrador en esa bóveda. Al cambiar el tipo, los administradores corporativos del nuevo tipo se añaden automáticamente a la bóveda, se aplican las nuevas reglas de acceso y se crean solicitudes de conexión de usuarios.
• ¿Por qué no puedo eliminar ciertos administradores de una bóveda? Si no puede eliminar administradores de una bóveda, son administradores corporativos. Los administradores corporativos solo pueden ser eliminados cambiando la configuración del tipo de bóveda correspondiente (requiere derechos de administrador).

Casos de uso básicos

Prohibir la creación de bóvedas privadas

Tarea: Impedir que los empleados creen bóvedas privadas.
Solución: En Configuración de bóvedas, abra el tipo Bóvedas de usuario. En Quién puede crear bóvedas, elimine a todos los usuarios o deje solo a aquellos que necesiten conservar este derecho.

Bóvedas con administradores obligatorios

Tarea: Todas las bóvedas creadas por usuarios deben incluir administradores corporativos.
Solución: En Configuración de bóvedas, cree uno o más nuevos tipos de bóvedas. En la sección Administradores, añada los usuarios requeridos (administradores corporativos) — estos se añadirán automáticamente a todas las bóvedas de este tipo con derechos que no pueden ser cambiados ni revocados. Prohíba la creación de otros tipos de bóvedas.

Creación de bóvedas privadas sin derechos de invitación de usuarios

Tarea: Permitir que los usuarios creen sus propias bóvedas pero prohibir invitar a otros usuarios.
Solución: En Configuración de bóvedas, cree un nuevo tipo con nivel de acceso completo para el creador — este nivel prohíbe añadir a otros usuarios.

Delegación de responsabilidades administrativas

Tarea: Configurar el sistema para que diferentes departamentos o proyectos tengan sus propios administradores.
Solución: En Configuración de bóvedas, cree tipos separados para cada departamento y añada los roles correspondientes.

Limitar la gestión de bóvedas

Tarea: Impedir que los administradores vean la lista de todas las bóvedas, gestionen los tipos de bóvedas y la configuración de niveles de acceso.
Solución: En la configuración de roles, abra el rol de Administrador. En la sección Bóvedas, deshabilite los permisos necesarios — puede restringir el acceso a la sección con la lista de todas las bóvedas o a toda la página de Configuración de bóvedas.

Conclusión: Control de datos y eficiencia

Los tipos de bóvedas abordan un desafío clave para las empresas en crecimiento: controlar el acceso a los datos sin sobrecargar al departamento de TI. Los administradores obtienen automáticamente acceso a las nuevas bóvedas de su tipo, mientras que los jefes de departamento pueden gestionar los datos de forma independiente. Passwork escala con su organización, asegurando que los datos permanezcan seguros, los procesos estén automatizados y los empleados puedan trabajar eficientemente.

Vault types

Passwork 7.1 introduces a robust vault types architecture, providing enterprise-grade access control for enhanced security and management. Vault types address a key challenge for administrators: controlling data access and delegating vault management across large organizations. Previously, the choice was limited to two types. Now, you can create custom vault types tailored to any task or organizational structure.

For each department or project, you can create a dedicated vault type, assign specific administrators, choose creator permissions, and define who can create vaults of this type.

For example, you can create separate vaults for IT department, finance, HR, or temporary project teams. Administrators assigned to a specific vault type will be automatically added to all new vaults of this type, ensuring constant control and transparency.

What are vault types

Vault types allow administrators to establish vault templates with predefined access management settings. For each vault type, you can designate specific administrators, configure vault creator permissions, and set rules or restrictions for creating new vaults.

You can organize vaults by department, project, or access level, ensuring that permissions are assigned accurately

When a vault is created, administrators specified in the vault type settings are automatically granted access. These administrators cannot be removed or demoted, ensuring that key personnel — such as department heads or IT administrators — always retain control over critical data.

Basic vault types

Passwork has two basic vault types: User vaults and Company vaults — they cannot be deleted or renamed:

• User vaults: By default, these are accessible only to their creators and are categorized as either private or shared. A private vault becomes shared when the owner of this vault grants access to other users.
• Company vaults: These vaults are available to both the creator and corporate administrators, who are automatically assigned access. Corporate administrators cannot be removed or demoted, ensuring continuous oversight and control.

Besides basic types, you can create unlimited custom vault types.

Advantages of vault types

Vault types empower Passwork administrators to control who can create vaults, automatically assign administrators who cannot be removed, and effectively manage creator permissions.

• Constant control: New vaults of a specific type automatically include non-removable administrators, ensuring continuous access to critical data and consistent security standards across all vaults of the same type.
• Permission flexibility: You can allow users to create vaults while restricting certain actions, such as prohibiting them from inviting other users.
• Delegation: Vault types enable granular permission distribution — for example, the IT director can manage IT vaults, while the sales director oversees sales department vaults.
• Audit and analysis: Easily view all vaults in the system, along with their types and associated users, and quickly adjust vault types as needed.
• Streamlined vault creation: No need to configure permissions from scratch each time.

Vaults of all types support a multi-level, folder-based structure, allowing administrators to create hierarchies with nested elements

Managing vault types

On the Vault settings page, you can manage all vault types, view their list, and configure action access permissions. Access to this section is controlled by individual role permissions, ensuring that only authorized users can modify critical settings.

Creating vault types

You can choose from basic vault types or create your own custom types. To set up a custom vault type, click Create vault type.

The vault type creation window offers the following options:

• Name — specify the vault type name.
• Administrators — select users who will be automatically added to all vaults of this type with Administrator permissions.
• Creator access — define the access level granted to users who create vaults of this type. For example, you can allow employees to create vaults without permitting them to invite other users.
• Who can create vaults — determine who is allowed to create vaults of this type: specific users, groups, roles, or all users.

Editing vault types

Users with access to the Vault types tab can modify vault types by renaming them, adding or removing administrators, and updating vault creation permissions. To edit a vault type, select it from the list of all types and adjust the necessary fields.

If a user is added as an administrator to an existing vault type, you must confirm the request to grant them access to the corresponding vaults.

Deleting vault types

To delete a vault type, select one or more types on the Vault types tab and click Delete in the dropdown menu at the top of the list.

Audit and vault type change

On the All vaults tab, you can view all vaults along with their types, user lists, and administrators. Additionally, you can quickly change a vault’s type — for example, when a department is reorganized or a new project is created.

You have the option to filter vaults by type or display only those to which you have access.

Settings

The Settings tab makes it possible to define the minimum required access level for performing specific actions within directories, as well as set the maximum file size for attachments linked to passwords.

Migration from previous versions

When migrating from previous versions, you can assign a vault type to imported vaults in the vault import window, provided you choose the option to import to the root directory.

When upgrading from Passwork 6 to version 7, the system automatically converts existing vaults:

• Private vaults remain private and receive the User vaults type. Your permissions and access rights remain unchanged.
• Shared vaults also receive the User vaults type. All users and their permissions are preserved.
• Organization vaults are converted to company vault type. Administrators are restored and become non-removable, with the access structure preserved.

Frequently asked questions

• What's the difference between vault types and regular vaults? Regular vaults are containers for storing passwords. Vault types are rules and templates that define how vaults of a specific type are created and managed.
• Is it mandatory to use vault types? No, using custom vault types is not mandatory. You'll always have access to basic types: private vaults for personal passwords and shared vaults for passwords users share independently.

• How do corporate administrators differ from regular ones? Corporate administrators are users who automatically receive administrator rights in all vaults of a specific type. Assigning corporate administrators ensures permanent control over critical data.

• Can I change administrators in an existing type? Yes, you can modify the list of administrators in the vault type settings. When adding a new user, the system automatically creates requests to add the new administrator to all existing vaults of that type.

• How do I restrict who can create vaults of a specific type? When creating or editing a vault type, go to Who can create vaults and choose one of the options: All users — any user can create a vault of this type, or limited access — only selected users, roles, or groups.
• Can I change the type of an existing vault? Yes, you can change an existing vault's type, but only if you have administrator rights in that vault. When changing the type, corporate administrators of the new type are automatically added to the vault, new access rules are applied, and user connection requests are created.
• Why can't I remove certain administrators from a vault? If you cannot remove administrators from a vault, they are corporate administrators. Corporate administrators can only be removed by changing the corresponding vault type setting (requires administrator rights).

Basic use cases

Prohibit private vaults creation

Task: Prevent employees from creating private vaults.
Solution: In Vault settings, open the User vaults type. In Who can create vaults, remove all users or leave only those who need to retain this right.

Vaults with mandatory administrators

Task: All vaults created by users must include corporate administrators.
Solution: In Vault settings, create one or more new vault types. In the Administrators section, add the required users (corporate administrators) — they will automatically be added to all vaults of this type with rights that cannot be changed or revoked. Prohibit creation of other vault types.

Private vaults creation without user invitation rights

Task: Allow users to create their own vaults but prohibit inviting other users.
Solution: In Vault settings, create a new type with Full access level for the creator—this level prohibits adding other users.

Delegating administrative responsibilities

Task: Configure the system so different departments or projects have their own administrators.
Solution: In Vault settings, create separate types for each department and add corresponding roles.

Limit vault management

Task: Prevent administrators from viewing the list of all vaults, managing vault types, and access level settings.
Solution: In role settings, open the Administrator role. In the Vaults section, disable the necessary permissions — you can restrict access to the section with the list of all vaults or to the entire Vault settings page.

Conclusion: Data control and efficiency

Vault types address a key challenge for growing companies: controlling data access without overwhelming the IT department. Administrators automatically gain access to new vaults of their type, while department heads can manage data independently. Passwork scales with your organization, ensuring data remains secure, processes are automated, and employees can work efficiently.

In der neuen Version wurde die Möglichkeit eingeführt, benutzerdefinierte Tresortypen mit automatisch zugewiesenen Administratoren zu erstellen. Zudem wurde die Vererbung von gruppenbasierten Zugriffsrechten und die Verarbeitung von TOTP-Code-Parametern verfeinert sowie zahlreiche Fehlerbehebungen und Verbesserungen vorgenommen.

Tresortypen

In Passwork 7.1 können Sie benutzerdefinierte Tresortypen mit flexiblen Einstellungen erstellen, die auf die Anforderungen Ihrer Organisation zugeschnitten sind:

• Jeder Tresortyp ermöglicht es Ihnen, dedizierte Administratoren zuzuweisen, Einschränkungen für die Tresorerstellung festzulegen und das Zugangslevel des Erstellers zu definieren
• Wenn Sie einen Tresor erstellen oder seinen Typ ändern, erhalten ausgewählte Unternehmensadministratoren automatisch Zugriff darauf. Andere Administratoren können deren Zugangslevel nicht herabsetzen oder sie vollständig entfernen
• Jetzt können Sie verschiedene Tresortypen für unterschiedliche Abteilungen oder Projekte einrichten, relevante Administratoren zuweisen und Berechtigungen für bestimmte Aufgaben konfigurieren

Anzeige aller Systemtresore

Es wurde die Möglichkeit hinzugefügt, alle innerhalb der Organisation erstellten Tresore anzuzeigen, einschließlich der privaten. Die Liste zeigt nur die Namen der Tresore sowie Benutzer und Gruppen an, die Zugriff darauf haben, während die Tresorinhalte weiterhin ausschließlich Benutzern mit direktem Zugriff zur Verfügung stehen. Dies eröffnet umfangreiche Möglichkeiten für systemweite Datenspeicheraudits. Der Zugriff auf die Tresorliste wird durch Rolleneinstellungen bestimmt.

Verbesserungen

• Die Logik der Vererbung von Zugriffsrechten aus mehreren Gruppen wurde verbessert: Wenn ein Benutzer Gruppen angehört, die sowohl „Vollständiger Zugang" als auch „Verboten" für ein bestimmtes Verzeichnis haben, wird nun das Zugangslevel „Verboten" angewendet
• Die Einstellungen „Erforderliches Zugangslevel zum Verlassen von Tresoren" und „Erforderliches Zugangslevel zum Kopieren von Ordnern und Passwörtern" wurden hinzugefügt
• Die Option wurde hinzugefügt, nicht authentifizierten Benutzern ein benutzerdefiniertes Banner anzuzeigen: Wenn die Option „Nicht authentifizierten Benutzern anzeigen" aktiviert ist, wird das Banner auf den Seiten für Anmeldung, Registrierung, Masterpasswort und Passwortzurücksetzung sichtbar sein
• Die Verarbeitung von Ziffern- und Punkt-Parametern während der TOTP-Code-Generierung wurde hinzugefügt
• Klickbare Links zu Tresoren, Ordnern, Passwörtern, Rollen, Gruppen und Benutzern in Benachrichtigungen wurden hinzugefügt
• Die Übertragung des Benutzersitzungsverlaufs bei der Migration von Passwork 6 wurde hinzugefügt

En la nueva versión, hemos introducido la capacidad de crear tipos de bóvedas personalizados con administradores asignados automáticamente, perfeccionado la herencia de derechos de acceso basados en grupos y el manejo de parámetros de códigos TOTP, además de realizar numerosas correcciones y mejoras.

Tipos de bóvedas

En Passwork 7.1, puede crear tipos de bóvedas personalizados con configuraciones flexibles adaptadas a las necesidades de su organización:

• Cada tipo de bóveda le permite asignar administradores dedicados, establecer restricciones en la creación de bóvedas y definir el nivel de acceso del creador.
• Cuando crea una bóveda o cambia su tipo, los administradores corporativos seleccionados obtienen acceso automáticamente. Otros administradores no podrán reducir su nivel de acceso ni eliminarlos por completo.
• Ahora puede configurar diferentes tipos de bóvedas para varios departamentos o proyectos, asignar administradores relevantes y configurar permisos para tareas específicas.

Visualización de todas las bóvedas del sistema

Hemos añadido la capacidad de ver todas las bóvedas creadas dentro de la organización, incluidas las privadas. La lista muestra solo los nombres de las bóvedas, así como los usuarios y grupos que tienen acceso a ellas, mientras que el contenido de las bóvedas sigue estando disponible estrictamente para usuarios con acceso directo. Esto abre amplias oportunidades para auditorías de almacenamiento de datos a nivel de sistema. El acceso a la lista de bóvedas está determinado por la configuración de roles.

Mejoras

• Se mejoró la lógica de herencia de acceso de múltiples grupos: ahora, si un usuario pertenece a grupos con derechos tanto de «Acceso completo» como de «Prohibido» a un directorio específico, se aplicará el nivel de acceso «Prohibido».
• Se añadieron las configuraciones «Nivel de acceso requerido para abandonar bóvedas» y «Nivel de acceso requerido para copiar carpetas y contraseñas».
• Se añadió la opción de mostrar un banner personalizado a usuarios no autenticados: cuando la opción «Mostrar a usuarios no autenticados» está habilitada, el banner será visible en las páginas de inicio de sesión, registro, contraseña maestra y restablecimiento de contraseña.
• Se añadió el procesamiento de parámetros de dígitos y período durante la generación de códigos TOTP.
• Se añadieron enlaces clicables a bóvedas, carpetas, contraseñas, roles, grupos y usuarios en las notificaciones.
• Se añadió la transferencia del historial de sesiones de usuario al migrar desde Passwork 6.

Corrección de errores

• Se corrigió un problema donde la página de configuración de 2FA no aparecía al iniciar sesión en Passwork después de habilitar «2FA obligatorio» en la configuración de roles.
• Se corrigió el conteo incorrecto de intentos de inicio de sesión fallidos con la configuración activa «Límite de intentos de inicio de sesión fallidos dentro de un período de tiempo especificado».
• Se corrigió un problema donde las sesiones de la aplicación móvil y la extensión del navegador no se restablecían después de deshabilitar «Habilitar aplicaciones móviles» y «Habilitar extensiones de navegador» en la configuración de roles.
• Se corrigió un problema donde el registro de actividad filtrado por una bóveda particular mostraba eventos de carpetas dentro de la bóveda: ahora solo se muestran eventos en el nivel de anidación seleccionado.
• Se corrigió un problema donde la búsqueda por etiqueta de color no funcionaba para algunas contraseñas.
• Se corrigió un problema donde los datos del usuario podían actualizarse al iniciar sesión con LDAP a pesar de tener deshabilitada la configuración «Permitir modificación de usuario durante la sincronización LDAP».
• Se corrigió un problema en la ventana de exportación donde desmarcar todas las carpetas dentro de una bóveda también desmarcaba la bóveda misma.
• Se corrigió el comportamiento incorrecto de la configuración «Cerrar sesión automáticamente después de inactividad».
• Se corrigió la visualización incorrecta de notas.
• Se corrigió la redirección incorrecta al directorio inicial de la contraseña o acceso directo después de editar estos elementos en Favoritos.
• Se corrigió un problema donde la fecha de eliminación del elemento en la Papelera se restablecía durante la migración desde Passwork 6.

In the new version, we have introduced the capability to create custom vault types with automatically assigned administrators, refined the inheritance of group-based access rights and handling of TOTP code parameters, as well as made numerous fixes and improvements.

Vault types

In Passwork 7.1, you can create custom vault types with flexible settings tailored to your organization’s needs:

• Each vault type allows you to assign dedicated administrators, set restrictions on vault creation and define a creator's access level
• When you create a vault or change it's type, select corporate administrators automatically gain access to it. Other administrators won't be able to lower their access level or remove them altogether
• Now you can set up different vault types for various departments or projects, assign relevant administrators, and configure permissions for specific tasks

Viewing all system vaults

We've added an ability to view all vaults created within the organization, including the private ones. The list displays only the names of the vaults as well as users and groups that have access to them, while the vault contents are still available strictly to users with direct access. This opens up extensive opportunities for system-wide data storage audits. Access to the vault list is determined by role settings.

Improvements

• Improved the logic of inheriting access from multiple groups: now if a user belongs to groups with both "Full access" and "Forbidden" rights to a specific directory, the 'Forbidden' access level will be applied
• Added "Access level required to leave vaults" and "Access level required to copy folders and passwords" settings
• Added the option to show a custom banner to unauthenticated users: when the "Show to unauthenticated users" option is enabled, the banner will be visible on the sign-in, sign-up, master password and password reset pages
• Added processing of digits and period parameters during TOTP code generation
• Added clickable links to vaults, folders, passwords, roles, groups, and users in notifications
• Added transfer of user session history when migrating from Passwork 6

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue where the 2FA setup page did not appear when logging into Passwork after enabling "Mandatory 2FA" in role settings
• Fixed incorrect counting of failed login attempts with active "Limit on failed login attempts within a specified time frame" setting
• Fixed an issue where mobile app and browser extension sessions were not reset after disabling "Enable mobile apps" and "Enable browser extensions" in role settings
• Fixed an issue where Activity log filtered by a particular vault showed events from folders inside the vault: now, only events at the selected nesting level are displayed
• Fixed an issue where a search by color tag did not work for some passwords
• Fixed an issue where user data could be updated on LDAP login despite disabled "Allow user modification during LDAP synchronization" setting
• Fixed an issue in the export window where unchecking all folders inside a vault also unchecked the vault itself
• Fixed incorrect behavior of the "Automatically log out after inactivity" setting
• Fixed incorrect display of notes
• Fixed incorrect redirect to the password's or shortcut's initial directory after editing these items in Favorites
• Fixed an issue where the item deletion date in the Bin was reset during migration from Passwork 6

Introduction

As cyber threats continue to evolve, organizations face increasing pressure to respond quickly and effectively to security incidents. But how well do incident response plans hold up when theory meets reality? This was the central theme of the Passwork cybersecurity webinar in August 2025, featuring insights from Prince Ugo Nwume, cybersecurity consultant at Accenture, and CircleMac, host of the Passwork webinar series. 

Preparation and real-world testing

Incident response plans must be living documents, not static checklists. While tabletop exercises help teams understand their roles, only real-world simulations expose true gaps in preparedness. Annual testing is the bare minimum, in regulated industries, quarterly or biannual reviews are often required.

"Tabletop exercises are great, but you need more — actual crisis simulations and drills show what works and what doesn't" — Prince Ugo Nwume

Drills and red team challenges frequently reveal overlooked weaknesses. The cybersecurity consultant recalled a load balancer left at a disaster recovery site that unexpectedly became an entry point for attackers. Continuous improvement requires immediate after-action reviews, regular updates to playbooks, and staff training that directly addresses real-world gaps.

Coordination across teams and vendors

Clear communication and decision-making authority are critical. Effective incident response depends on cross-functional cooperation among IT, legal, HR, communications, and business units. A dedicated incident coordinator helps ensure priorities are aligned and decisions are made without delay.

"When an incident happens, every team has its priorities. You need defined lines of communication and authority — otherwise, you risk making the situation worse." — Prince Ugo Nwume

Third-party vendors, including cloud providers, add another layer of risk. Contracts should specify SLAs, audit rights, and clear escalation procedures for incident response.

"Third-party risk is always a challenge — you need to safeguard your business by demanding strong security practices from vendors" — Prince Ugo Nwume

Tools and technologies for an effective response

Technology is at the core of rapid incident response. Password managers help organizations accelerate credential resets, simplify access reviews, and contain breaches more effectively. Best practices include enterprise-wide adoption, regular audits, and immediate credential changes during an incident.

"Password managers make it easier to change credentials, monitor access, and prevent attackers from persisting in your environment" — Prince Ugo Nwume

Cloud-native environments introduce both simplicity and complexity. Shared responsibility requires clear definitions of what belongs to the organization versus the provider. Rapid communication channels and frequent contract reviews are essential for compliance and responsiveness.

Measure success by checking KPIs and benchmarks:

• Mean time to detect
• Mean time to resolve
• False positive rates

Tracking these metrics over time enables organizations to refine their incident response programs and adapt to emerging threats.

Compliance and continuous improvement

Global organizations must align with evolving legal and regulatory requirements through annual reviews, gap assessments, and GRC oversight.

"Compliance is a moving target. You need standardized frameworks and regular gap assessments to keep up." — Prince Ugo Nwume

But technical controls alone are not enough. Responding to major incidents places enormous pressure on people. Prince stressed the importance of caring for teams.

"You need to support your team — reward their effort and build a culture where people want to step up when it matters" — Prince Ugo Nwume

Shift rotations, recognition, and a culture of resilience help ensure teams stay motivated and capable during prolonged crises.

Conclusion

Incident response planning requires ongoing preparation, cross-team collaboration, and continuous improvement. As the cybersecurity consultant highlighted, real adaptability comes from robust controls, practical training, and a culture of vigilance. Tools like Passwork and standardized procedures are essential, but success depends on adaptability and teamwork. Incident response plans must be living documents, not static checklists.

• Preparation and practice are key
• Cross-functional coordination and clear authority are essential
• Password managers are a cornerstone of rapid response
• Global compliance requires standardized frameworks
• Team resilience and well-being matter

Introduction

GDPR password security is an essential component of modern data protection strategies and a key aspect of GDPR compliance. Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), organizations are legally required to implement special technical and organizational measures to safeguard personal data. Passwords remain the most common authentication mechanism, and they also represent one of the weakest links in information security when poorly managed.

According to Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report 2024, human error, including credential misuse, remains a significant factor in data breaches, accounting for a substantial percentage of incidents. This highlights the critical need for effective employee training in GDPR password security. Strong technical tools are vital, but security gaps quickly appear if employees aren’t properly trained. This article examines best practices for employee training, identifies common mistakes, and demonstrates how business can mitigate risks through practical policies and modern tools.

Why training matters in GDPR password security

GDPR requires organizations to demonstrate accountability. That means it is not enough to set policies. Businesses must prove that employees understand and apply them. Password misuse remains one of the most frequent root causes of data breaches, often associated with weak or reused credentials.

From a regulatory perspective, insufficient password controls can be interpreted as a failure to apply "appropriate technical and organizational measures" under Article 32 of GDPR. This translates into direct financial and reputational risks, making cybersecurity training a critical investment.

Training employees is the bridge between abstract policy and daily practice. By equipping staff with knowledge and tools, companies not only reduce the risk of data breaches and cyberattacks but also create an auditable record of compliance.

GDPR password security training: Best practices

Effective GDPR password security training is not a one-time event but a continuous process. Employees must see security as part of their daily responsibilities rather than an annual compliance requirement. These are practical recommendations for employee training:

Ongoing, concise learning
Short, frequent sessions are far more effective than long, one-off seminars. Use onboarding modules, quarterly refreshers, and targeted updates after incidents. For example, new hires can generate their first password directly in a password manager, immediately experiencing how the system enforces company-wide security policies.

Learn by doing with simulations
Real-world simulations make lessons stick. A phishing exercise or a mock "compromised shared password" scenario shows how a single mistake can endanger the organization. In the Passwork password manager, such training can be replicated when the system flags outdated or reused passwords, prompting employees to walk through the secure update workflow with full audit logging.

Modern and practical password policies
Overly complex rules often push staff into shortcuts. Instead, focus on length, uniqueness, and blocking reuse. Passwork automates this by generating strong, unique passwords and preventing weak combinations, eliminating the burden of memorization and reducing risky workarounds.

Seamless integration with daily workflows
Employees are more likely to follow secure practices when security tools are built into their routine. Passwork integrates with LDAP and SSO, allowing staff to log in with their standard corporate accounts while administrators gain centralized oversight of accounts and groups.

Role-based training and access control
Different departments face different risks: general staff deal with operational routine issues, finance teams — with fraud attempts, and IT teams manage critical systems. Passwork role-based access control (RBAC) allows employees to see firsthand that they have access only to the credentials required for their role, no more.

A no-blame reporting culture
Security only works when staff feel safe reporting mistakes. Passwork provides audit trails and real-time alerts for critical events, enabling quick remediation and turning incidents into learning opportunities instead of sources of punishment.

The most successful programs blend practical exercises, clear communication, and tools that reinforce correct behavior at the point of use. With platforms like Passwork, secure practices become effortless, turning password management from a weak point into a core strength for compliance and resilience.

Common mistakes employees make with passwords

Despite awareness campaigns, many companies continue to face recurring issues in password behavior. These mistakes point out a gap between policy and practice, where employees either misunderstand requirements or prioritize convenience over security. Recognizing these pitfalls is the first step in addressing them through training and enforcement. Even in organizations with formal password policies, employees often fall into predictable traps:

• Reusing passwords across multiple systems
• Choosing weak or guessable patterns such as names, dates, or simple sequences
• Storing credentials insecurely on notes, spreadsheets, or messengers
• Failing to update compromised passwords after breaches
• Bypassing complex policies with shortcuts (e.g., adding "1!" each time)
• Neglecting multi-factor authentication (MFA) setup, even when available, is a common oversight that significantly weakens access control

Passwork helps businesses eliminate these problems systematically. Zero Knowledge architecture and AES-256 encryption ensure data protection by design. LDAP and SSO integration simplify authentication, and RBAC provides granular access control so that employees only see what they are authorized to use. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) further reduces risks if a password is compromised. Built-in audit trails and real-time monitoring enable security leaders to swiftly identify and address issues such as password reuse and weak credential creation. Employees naturally adopt secure practices, closing the gap between policy and daily behavior.

Business risks of poor GDPR password security

Companies that fail to secure passwords face multiple risks:

• Regulatory fines of up to €20 million or 4% of global turnover or non-compliance with GDPR requirements
• Operational disruptions if accounts are locked or compromised
• Financial loss from investigations, lawsuits, and compensation
• Reputational damage and customer churn
• Supply chain risks occur when compromised passwords affect partners

Password training is universally important, but some industries face higher stakes:

• Healthcare. Medical records are highly sensitive and overlap with HIPAA.
• Finance. Passwords protect transactions and client trust.
• Legal and consulting. Compromised credentials can expose client data.
• Public sector and education. High user volumes and limited budgets make password training a critical necessity.
• Technology and SaaS. Shared developer credentials and API keys require strict governance and oversight.

These risks represent everyday realities across industries. The vast majority of attacks exploiting weak passwords are opportunistic rather than targeted, meaning any business that relies on outdated password practices is automatically at risk. Poor password security is no longer just an IT issue. It is a strategic business risk with legal, financial, and reputational consequences.

By adopting strong training programs and enterprise-level solutions like Passwork, organizations can transform passwords from a liability into a managed part of their security posture.

Conclusion

GDPR password security is both a compliance requirement and a business safeguard. Employee training transforms password policies from abstract rules into daily habits that protect data, reduce risk, and demonstrate accountability.

Security leaders should combine concise training sessions, simulations, practical password policies, and strong technical tools. By embedding Passwork into this ecosystem, organizations both educate staff and provide them with resources to comply effortlessly. Training is about building a security culture where GDPR password security becomes second nature, protecting the business and its customers.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about GDPR password security training

Q: What does GDPR say about passwords?
A: GDPR does not prescribe exact password rules (e.g., "must be 12 characters long"). Instead, Article 32 requires organizations to implement "appropriate technical and organizational measures" to ensure data security. This is a risk-based approach. For passwords, this means your policies (length, complexity, MFA) must be strong enough to protect the specific personal data you process. A failure to enforce strong password hygiene can be interpreted as a direct violation of this requirement, leading to significant fines.

Q: How can we make security training engaging so employees actually pay attention?
A: The key is to move beyond passive lectures. Effective training is interactive and context-driven. Use gamification (e.g., leaderboards for completing security quizzes), real-world phishing simulations, and role-playing scenarios where teams must respond to a mock data breach. Tying training directly to the tools they use daily, like a password manager, makes the lessons practical. For example, instead of just talking about strong passwords, have them generate one in the company's password manager during the training itself.

Q: What are the essential components of effective GDPR training?
A: Effective programs combine GDPR fundamentals with practical application. This includes secure password creation, using password managers, multi-factor authentication, breach response procedures, and role-specific scenarios to keep the content relevant.

Q: How does password training support GDPR compliance?
A: Documented training initiatives serve as proof of "appropriate technical and organizational measures" under Article 32. Good record-keeping shows regulators that employees have been properly trained and helps organizations track progress and demonstrate accountability during audits.

Q: What metrics prove training is effective?
A: Organizations should monitor the following metrics: reduced password-related incidents, stronger password strength scores, increased adoption of password management tools, and a decline in password reset requests. These metrics provide tangible evidence that training translates into improved security.

Introduction

Cloud security remains one of the most debated topics in modern IT. As organizations continue their migration to cloud platforms, the question of "Who is responsible for what?" grows increasingly complex. In our latest Passwork webinar, cybersecurity lecturer David Gordon joined host Turpal to unpack the realities behind the shared responsibility model and why clear boundaries are still elusive for many teams.

"The shared responsibility model is a fundamental concept in cloud security that delineates where the cloud provider’s responsibilities begin and end, and where the client’s responsibilities begin and end" — David Gordon

The session explored practical examples, common pitfalls, and actionable strategies for CISOs and IT leaders navigating the blurred lines between cloud provider and client responsibilities.

The shared responsibility model: Theory vs practice

At its core, the shared responsibility model defines the security obligations of both the cloud provider (e.g., AWS, Azure) and the client. The provider is responsible for securing the infrastructure and network, while the client manages data, applications, and configuration within the cloud environment.

However, these boundaries shift depending on the service model:

• Infrastructure as a service (IaaS). Clients carry most of the security burden, from OS patches to identity management.
• Platform as a service (PaaS). Responsibility is more balanced, with providers handling the platform and clients managing data and application logic.
• Software as a service (SaaS). Providers handle most security aspects, but clients must still manage user access and data governance.

While the model is theoretically clear, David highlighted that practical applications can sometimes be a little complex due to the dynamic nature of cloud services.

Where ambiguity leads to risk

Ambiguity in the shared responsibility model has been the root cause of several high-profile breaches. One of the most cited examples is the misconfiguration of AWS S3 buckets. Despite AWS securing the underlying infrastructure, clients failed to set proper permissions, resulting in sensitive data exposure.

"Some overly permissive permissions were granted to these S3 buckets, and that led to sensitive data being exposed to the public. That type of scenario is unfortunately not uncommon." — David Gordon

Other common missteps include:

• Misconfigured identity and access management (IAM) rules
• Failure to implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) on critical accounts
• Assuming implicit security without verifying configurations

The lesson: never assume security is "built-in" by default. Clients must proactively manage their configurations and understand the nuances of each cloud service model.

Contracts, fine print, and operational realities

Cloud provider contracts aim to define shared security responsibilities, but operational realities often diverge from contractual language. CISOs and IT leaders must scrutinize the fine print, looking for:

• Clear delineation of responsibilities. Understand exactly what the provider covers and what is left to the client.
• Incident response procedures. Who is responsible for breach notification, investigation, and remediation?
• Audit rights and transparency. Can you validate the provider’s controls and monitor their compliance?
• Service-level agreements (SLAs). Are uptime, recovery, and security guarantees realistic and enforceable?

David cautioned that the detailed operational implications are sometimes not as clear as the contract language suggests, underscoring the need for ongoing review and negotiation.

Lessons learned: Avoiding misconfiguration

A recurring theme in the discussion was that most cloud-related incidents are not caused by flaws in the provider’s infrastructure, but rather by preventable mistakes made by clients. The biggest culprits are misconfigured permissions, lack of monitoring, and weak identity practices. These errors underscore the importance of treating configuration management as an ongoing discipline rather than a one-time setup. Training teams, conducting regular checks, and utilizing automated tools can significantly mitigate these risks.

"Just never assume implicit security. Yes, the cloud provider is responsible for the infrastructure, but you, the client, are 100% responsible for how you configure permissions on the cloud." — David Gordon

The webinar highlighted real-world strategies for minimizing risk and confusion:

• Continuous education. Train teams to understand their responsibilities and the specifics of each cloud service model.
• Regular audits. Periodically review configurations, permissions, and access controls.
• Automated monitoring. Leverage tools to detect misconfigurations and anomalous activity in real time.
• Collaborative planning. Foster open communication among security, IT, and business units to ensure a shared understanding.

Conclusion

Cloud security is not a static checklist — it is an ongoing partnership between provider and client. As David Gordon emphasized, "never assume implicit security." Success requires vigilance, clear communication, and a willingness to adapt as cloud services evolve.

• The shared responsibility model is clear in theory, but ambiguous in practice
• Misconfiguration, especially of storage and access controls, remains a leading cause of cloud breaches
• Contracts should be reviewed for operational clarity, not just legal protection
• Ongoing education, monitoring, and cross-team collaboration are essential for effective cloud security

At Passwork, we help organizations navigate the complexities of cloud security with tools that empower proactive management, robust access controls, and real-time monitoring. By understanding your responsibilities and building resilient processes, you can turn shared confusion into shared success.

Introduction

As cyber threats and data breaches become more frequent and sophisticated, many organizations are looking to cyber insurance as a way to manage risk. But is cyber insurance a true safety net — or is it just a false sense of security? This question was at the core of the Password Cybersecurity Webinar, featuring insights from Yemi Eniade, a cybersecurity architect with a global perspective and decades of hands-on experience.

Cyber insurance: What does it cover? 

Yemi Eniade highlighted a critical issue: many organizations misunderstand what cyber insurance provides. While insurance can help mitigate financial losses after an incident, it is not a replacement for strong cybersecurity fundamentals.

"Insurance is not a substitute for robust security controls. It’s a tool, but some organizations see it as the solution instead of part of a bigger strategy. Many organizations misunderstand what is covered. You have to read the policy carefully — don’t assume you’re protected from everything just because you have a certificate on the wall." — Yemi Eniade

Many policies are filled with exclusions and limitations. For example, if an incident is caused by poor configuration or a lack of basic controls, coverage may be denied. Regulatory fines and business interruptions are also often misunderstood.

Key points discussed:

• Insurance doesn’t cover everything. There are many exclusions, especially around preventable incidents.
• Policy terms matter. Organizations need to carefully read and understand their coverage.
• Security maturity is required. Insurers increasingly demand proof of strong controls before issuing or renewing policies.

The day-to-day reality of cybersecurity

Drawing on his journey from the Royal Navy to cybersecurity consultancy, Yemi described the ever-changing nature of the field:

"No two days are the same. Yesterday, you might have been managing vulnerabilities, today, it’s about system design. You always have to be on your toes — just like in the military." — Yemi Eniade

He credits his military background with giving him the discipline and decision-making skills needed to thrive in a high-pressure cybersecurity environment.

What Yemi values most:

• The challenge of solving new problems every day
• The satisfaction of turning threats into opportunities
• The necessity of lifelong learning

Navigating Global Compliance

Yemi’s work spans multiple continents, meaning he must constantly adapt to different regulatory environments:

• Europe: GDPR, ISO 27001
• USA: Sector-specific laws (e.g., FDA)
• China: Strict data privacy and localization laws

"My project is global. The product is global. We have to deal with different laws and standards — GDPR in Europe, FDA in America, and privacy laws in China. The only way to manage is through strict company policy and a strong quality management system." — Yemi Eniade

The cybersecurity architect emphasized that a robust Quality Management System (QMS) and adherence to international standards are essential for maintaining compliance and security across regions.

The rewards and challenges of cybersecurity

The intellectual thrill of solving complex problems is balanced by the constant pressure of staying ahead of attackers. For every breakthrough moment, such as stopping a phishing campaign or closing a critical vulnerability, there is stress from long hours, shifting priorities, and the knowledge that an overlooked detail could have massive consequences. Therefore, cybersecurity leaders must find motivation in the process itself, such as building resilient systems and guiding teams through uncertainty. They must also recognize that their work directly safeguards people, businesses, and, in some cases, even national security.

"Sometimes, it’s overwhelming. You have meetings late at night or early in the morning. But you have to be happy to do what you’re doing — that’s what keeps me going." — Yemi Eniade

Rewards:

• Intellectual stimulation from constant change
• Working with diverse, international teams
• Making a real impact by protecting organizations and individuals

Challenges:

• Maintaining work-life balance, especially with teams in multiple time zones
• The emotional and mental toll of being "always on"
• Keeping up with new threats and evolving regulations

Conclusion 

Cyber insurance can be a valuable part of an organization's risk management strategy, but it is not a guarantee against cyber threats. As Yemi Eniade emphasized, true security comes from robust controls, continuous learning, and a culture of vigilance. Insurance is just one piece of the puzzle — real resilience requires preparation, adaptability, and a commitment to best practices.

• Cyber insurance is not a cure-all: It should complement, not replace, a comprehensive security program.
• Know your policy: Understand exactly what is covered, and what is not.
• Global compliance is complex: Standardized frameworks and policies are crucial for navigating international regulations.
• Stay adaptable: Cybersecurity is always evolving — success depends on staying alert, informed, and proactive.
