Certification further enables enterprises to strengthen security and meet ISO 27001 compliance through secure credential management
Bitwarden, the trusted leader in password, passkey, and secrets management, today announced that it has achieved ISO 27001:2022 certification, an internationally recognized standard for information security management. This certification validates compliance with rigorous security and risk management requirements, ensuring organizations can protect sensitive information and meet industry regulations.
Supporting enterprises in achieving ISO 27001 compliance
Strong credential management is essential for ISO 27001 compliance, helping organizations enforce secure authentication, access controls, and data protection policies. Bitwarden helps organizations secure credentials, enforce multifactor authentication (MFA), and monitor user activity through event logs. These measures enable organizations to strengthen their security posture while aligning with ISO 27001 standards for access control, identity management, and authentication security.
Strengthening security and compliance standards
ISO 27001 is the global benchmark for building and maintaining information security management systems (ISMS). To achieve certification, organizations undergo an independent audit to demonstrate adherence to best practices in data protection, risk management, and operational security controls.
The certification process assessed Bitwarden against the latest ISO 27001:2022 requirements, verifying that internal security protocols, encryption standards, and governance frameworks align with internationally recognized security best practices. The certification complements existing compliance with SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA, reinforcing Bitwarden as a trusted security partner for enterprises.
