Case Study: Enhancing Company-Wide Security with 1Password
This project is an example of proactive IT management and adaptability, where an immediate team-level need was leveraged to address a larger, more strategic business objective: enhancing the company’s overall security posture.
The initiative began when the EPDD (Engineering, Product, Data, and Design) teams at Drivy needed a replacement for a credential-sharing tool that was being discontinued. My IT roadmap had already identified the need for a company-wide password manager, so I expanded the project’s scope to meet this larger goal. After a formal RFP process and vendor evaluation, 1Password for Teams was selected as the optimal solution.
I managed the full project lifecycle over a three-month period, structured in three main phases:
- the technical deployment and integration,
- a phased user onboarding and training program for over 130 employees across Europe, and
- the development of comprehensive documentation for long-term sustainability.
Key success factors included close alignment with stakeholder requirements from the outset and a carefully planned, phased rollout that prioritized the highest-need teams first.
The project not only met its technical goals but also delivered significant cultural and security-related outcomes. It fostered a company-wide culture of security awareness, with users demonstrating a clear commitment to stronger security practices.
A notable metric of success was that approximately 65% of employees adopted the tool for personal use, indicating high user satisfaction and trust.
This initiative successfully established 1Password as a fundamental and valued component of Drivy’s Information System.
