Every click, every login, every digital interaction—we're constantly exchanging sensitive data. But with cyber threats on the rise, why do so many of us still rely on weak, predictable passwords? The consequences are staggering: 81% of hacking-related breaches stem from poor password practices, and in the past decade, 31% of breaches involved stolen credentials. In 2024 alone, the global average cost of a data breach soared to $4.88 million.
At Zoho, we believe that security shouldn't be complicated or exhausting—it should be second nature. That’s why we created Zoho Vault, a workforce password manager designed to protect your business without adding extra work to your day. For more than a decade, we’ve been perfecting our platform to ensure that security is effortless, seamless, and built for everyone. Because protecting your data isn’t just a necessity—it’s your right.
Here’s how we help every department take security off their to-do list—without the hassle.
Human resources: A smoother onboarding and offboarding experience
HR teams juggle a million things at once—recruiting, onboarding, offboarding, and everything in between. When a new hire joins, they need access to tools fast. When someone leaves, their access needs to be revoked immediately. But tracking credentials manually? That’s a security risk waiting to happen.
With Zoho Vault, HR can securely grant access to the right tools and revoke it just as easily. No more worrying about ex-employees retaining access. Just smooth transitions, tighter security, and more time to focus on what really matters—the people.
Finance: Secure and seamless financial transactions
Spreadsheets, budgets, bank accounts, payment card details, invoices—finance teams handle some of the most sensitive data in the organization. The last thing they need is a security breach that puts that financial information at risk.
With Zoho Vault, finance teams can securely store and share credentials, bank details, and payment information with authorized team members. No more risky email sharing or forgotten passwords. Plus, with auto-fill and password-sharing controls, managing financial accounts is easier and safer than ever.
Legal and compliance: Meeting regulatory demands
Legal and compliance teams live and breathe confidentiality. Client data, contracts, compliance documents—there’s no room for security slip-ups.
Zoho Vault ensures airtight protection with top-tier encryption, multi-factor authentication, and granular access controls. Set IP and location-based restrictions, receive security reports, monitor tamper-proof audit trails, and stay compliant with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, RBI Master Directions, CCPA, and more.
Marketing, sales and support: Secure access to websites and apps
Marketing, sales, and support teams juggle multiple platforms, customer accounts, and tools every day. Logging in and out of different platforms shouldn’t slow you down—or put your organization at risk.
With Zoho Vault, teams can securely collaborate, store sensitive data, and manage credentials without breaking a sweat. Role-based access controls ensure that only the right people have access, so teams can move fast while keeping security airtight.
IT operations: Centralized security controls
IT teams are the backbone of organizational security, but let’s be real—managing passwords manually is a nightmare. Endless password reset tickets? Third-party vendor access headaches? Shadow IT running wild?
Zoho Vault eliminates these pain points with automated workflows, secure credential sharing, and compliance-ready features. IT teams can enforce strong password policies, monitor usage, and even integrate with existing IT infrastructure for smooth security management. Less micromanaging, more innovation.
Developers: A secure journey from code creation to deployment
Developers work with SSH keys, API tokens, and critical infrastructure secrets daily. The problem? Storing them insecurely or hard coding them in source code can lead to security disasters.
With Zoho Vault, developers can seamlessly fetch credentials, securely manage access, and integrate with APIs, databases, and cloud platforms—all without exposing sensitive data. It’s security that scales with your development process, ensuring that innovation never comes at the cost of safety.
