Password and identity management software vendor LastPass has built on its ISO certification with a ISO 27701 privacy information management badge and joined the Amazon Web Services Partner Network.
Mario Platt, chief information security officer (CISO) at LastPass, said because privacy threats keep evolving, compliance regulation needs to do the same.
“Being able to present our users with independently audited management systems for privacy helps us exceed their expectations and reaffirm their trust in LastPass,” Platt said in the announcement.
The new certification from the International Standards Organisation (ISO) should boost confidence in the solution’s ability to deliver user privacy, it said, noting that LastPass gained ISO 27701 information security management certification in 2022.
“This certification demonstrates LastPass’s strong commitment to transparency around the measures we take to protect our users and their data – ahead of any other password manager,” added Platt.
The vendor said its list of security and privacy certifications included FIDO2 Server Certification, SOC 2 and SOC 3, and BSI C5. Updates are detailed in the LastPass Trust Center, the vendor’s security information repository.
According to LastPass, most (81%) data breaches are believed due to phishing or human habits, such as reusing passwords or phishing.
It also cited figures from Forrester suggesting that between 25% and 40% of help-desk calls are about password problems or resets.
As a member of the Amazon Web Services Partner Network, the vendor offering becomes available as a “preferred solution” in the AWS Marketplace digital catalogue for software that runs on AWS.
This would “fill a critical gap in password and access management for cloud-native or fully digitally transformed small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs)”, according to LastPass.
Don MacLennan, chief product officer at LastPass, said organisations can use LastPass to secure digital environments and protect their SaaS applications and online accounts against unauthorised access.
