Overview
Vault is Scout’s encrypted password management platform that enables individuals and teams to securely store, organize, and share credentials within the Scout ecosystem.
By centralizing password storage and applying strong encryption across all devices, Vault helps eliminate weak, reused, or exposed credentials.
Vault operates entirely within the protected Scout network, ensuring that sensitive information remains private and inaccessible to unauthorized users.
Personal Use
Individuals can use Vault to manage their own credentials in a secure, synchronized environment.
The service can be accessed through the Vault web portal or the Scout Vault browser extension, providing a seamless experience across devices.
Vault automatically syncs encrypted password data for the signed-in user, allowing secure autofill and credential management inside supported browsers.
Organizational Use
For businesses and teams, Vault provides shared organizations that simplify credential management while maintaining strict access control. Administrators can assign users to groups or collections that determine which passwords they can access, ensuring sensitive credentials remain protected even in collaborative settings.
Policies such as password complexity, rotation frequency, and sharing restrictions can be applied at the organization level to align with broader security requirements.
Benefits of Vault
- Centralized credential management across all Scout-protected environments
- End-to-end encryption of stored secrets and metadata
- Simplified onboarding for teams and administrators
- Improved compliance posture through secure sharing and visibility
- Integration readiness for future multi-factor and policy enforcement features
Vault organizations operate independently under each administrator’s control. Scout Secured cannot access stored credentials or recover master passwords — recovery keys must be securely retained.
