yellow arrow, founded in 2017 with over 750 seats, transitioned from a basic password manager and phone-based MFA to Bitwarden due to increasing security threats and organizational growth. “We knew our company and our customers deserved a much more robust password management strategy,” said Tim Krijgsman, CISO and managed service team lead at yellow arrow. Bitwarden was selected for its open-source infrastructure, zero-knowledge encryption, and competitive pricing.

Bitwarden Send: Securely shares API keys and passwords (up to 1000 characters or 500 MB files).
SSO and SCIM Integration: Streamlines authentication and user provisioning via Microsoft Entra ID.
Centralized Policy Management: Ensures enterprise-grade compliance.
The implementation was seamless, achieving 100% internal adoption. yellow arrow uses a phased approach for clients, leveraging ambassadors, pilot deployments, and full rollouts to drive adoption.
The Bitwarden adoption replaced insecure practices like storing credentials in spreadsheets, reducing risks from password reuse and weak authentication. Integration with Microsoft Entra ID via SCIM automated user provisioning and de-provisioning, enhancing efficiency. “The overall security, ease-of-use, and outstanding features differentiate Bitwarden,” Krijgsman noted, citing its intuitive SSO and MFA capabilities.
