Blueprint

1Password Managed Credential Governance (5-7 days)

A productized service that deploys 1Password Business with MSP Edition to secure client credentials, enforce access policies, and provide ongoing security monitoring for small to mid-market businesses.

  • Client admin credentials for their identity provider (Google Workspace, Azure AD, or Okta)
  • List of current SaaS applications and number of users
  • Signed service agreement and data processing consent
  • Client's password policy requirements and compliance needs
  • Access to client's domain DNS for SSO configuration if needed
Execution Timeline
  • 1.Register for 1Password Business and create agency master account
  • 2.Configure MSP console and invite agency admin users
  • 3.Create client tenant and set up dedicated vault structure
  • 1.Integrate client's identity provider (e.g., Azure AD) for automated user provisioning
  • 2.Configure SSO via Okta or Entra ID and test authentication flow
  • 3.Enforce security policies: minimum password strength, 2FA requirement, session duration
  • 1.Onboard client users: send invitations, assign vaults, and verify adoption
  • 2.Set up Watchtower alerts for breached credentials and weak passwords
  • 3.Configure role-based access: admin, editor, viewer permissions per vault
  • 1.Import existing client credentials into shared vaults
  • 2.Run initial Watchtower security audit and generate remediation report
  • 3.Document credential health score and list of compromised passwords
  • 1.Configure event streaming to client's SIEM tool (e.g., Splunk) for audit logging
  • 2.Set up automated access reviews for privileged accounts
  • 3.Test deprovisioning workflow: remove a test user and verify access revocation
  • 1.Deliver client-facing security dashboard with Watchtower metrics
  • 2.Conduct training session for client admins on vault management and reporting
  • 3.Finalize billing setup: separate tenant per client with custom invoicing
  • 1.Handover documentation including admin guide and escalation procedures
  • 2.Schedule monthly security health report delivery
  • 3.Close out project with client sign-off on definition of done
$7.98-$11.98 per user per month (1Password Business at $7.99/user/mo annual, plus optional Families add-on)5-7 days
ROI Logic

At $399/mo retainer for a 10-user client, agency gross margin exceeds 80% after 1Password's $79.90/mo cost. Scaling to 20 clients at $399/mo yields $7,980/mo revenue against $1,598/mo tool cost, a 5x margin multiplier.

Deliverables
  • Deployed 1Password Business tenant with MSP console access
  • Watchtower security audit report with remediation plan
  • Client admin training video and quick-start guide
  • Monthly security health report template
  • Access review schedule and policy documentation
Definition of Done

Client users can log in via SSO, access shared vaults, and receive Watchtower alerts; agency can manage tenant from MSP console and generate monthly security reports.
