End-to-End Encryption
All vault data is encrypted locally on the user's device with AES-256-bit encryption before it ever leaves their machine. Bitwarden's zero-knowledge model ensures that neither Bitwarden nor Aquion can access your credentials.

Key Features
Cross-Platform Access
Bitwarden is available on every major platform — Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android — and as browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, and more. Users enjoy consistent, secure access to their vault from any device.
Enterprise Policy Controls
Administrators can enforce organisation-wide security policies including master password complexity, two-step login requirements, vault timeout rules, and restrictions on personal accounts — ensuring compliance across the entire workforce.
Single Sign-On (SSO) Integration
Bitwarden integrates with leading identity providers — including Azure AD, Okta, Google Workspace, and OneLogin — via SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect, enabling seamless SSO authentication without compromising zero-knowledge encryption.
Secure Credential Sharing
Organisations can create shared collections and assign granular permissions to users or groups. Secrets are shared securely without ever exposing plaintext credentials, eliminating the risks of sharing passwords via email or messaging platforms.
Secrets Manager
Bitwarden Secrets Manager extends credential security to developer and DevOps workflows, enabling teams to store, manage, and inject secrets such as API keys, tokens, and environment variables directly into CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure tools.
Cloud or Self-Hosted Deployment
Bitwarden can be deployed as a fully managed cloud service or self-hosted on your own infrastructure. Self-hosting gives organisations complete control over their data residency, ideal for Australian government and highly regulated industries.
Audit Logs & Reporting
Comprehensive event logs capture all administrative and user activity within the organisation vault. Security teams can monitor access events, policy changes, and suspicious behaviour — supporting compliance with ISO 27001, SOC 2, and Australian Privacy Principles.
Directory Sync & SCIM
Automate user provisioning and deprovisioning with SCIM support and the Bitwarden Directory Connector. Synchronise groups and users from Azure AD, Okta, Active Directory, and other LDAP-compatible directories to keep access up to date.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bitwarden truly open source?
Yes. Bitwarden's entire codebase — including server, client applications, and browser extensions — is publicly available on GitHub under an open-source licence. This enables independent security researchers and customers to audit the code at any time, providing a level of transparency unmatched by proprietary competitors.
Can Bitwarden be self-hosted in Australia?
Absolutely. Bitwarden supports self-hosted deployment using Docker, making it straightforward to run on any Australian cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) or on-premises server. Self-hosting ensures all vault data remains within your own environment, meeting data residency and sovereignty requirements.
How does Bitwarden handle master password recovery for enterprise?
Bitwarden's zero-knowledge architecture means master passwords are never stored or transmitted. For enterprise customers, Bitwarden offers an Account Recovery feature that allows designated administrators to recover access for users who have lost their master password — without compromising the zero-knowledge model — when the policy is enabled by the organisation.
What compliance certifications does Bitwarden hold?
Bitwarden is SOC 2 Type II certified and undergoes regular third-party security audits and penetration testing. The platform's architecture is designed to support compliance with ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, Australian Privacy Principles, and other major regulatory frameworks.
