Case Study: Municipality of Macerata strengthens password compliance with Passbolt

Password Collaboration Meets Compliance

The Municipality of Macerata, a public administration in Italy, faced challenges in password management and compliance following a cyberattack. Their small IT team lacked a dedicated tool, relying on an insecure on-premise database file. They needed a solution to meet strict GDPR and other ICT security regulations, enhance security, and enable secure password sharing for better collaboration.

The municipality chose the open-source Passbolt password manager for its strong compliance features and multi-platform support. The implementation dramatically improved their password management, allowing the team to generate strong passwords, maintain an up-to-date credentials database, and streamline sharing. This ensured compliance with Italian AgID regulations and provided a high return on investment.
