Illustrative Case Study
Based on realistic usage patterns and typical results reported by users — not a verified customer story. Numbers are illustrative.
The Problem
A 30-person digital agency shared passwords via Slack DMs, a shared Google Sheet, and Post-it notes. When employees left, no one was sure what accounts they still had access to. Offboarding took 3 hours and was never complete. A client's Google Ads account got accessed by a former employee 6 weeks after termination.
The Solution
Rolled out 1Password Business at $7.99/user ($239.70/mo). All shared credentials moved to team vaults. IT revoked access in 2 minutes when anyone left. Security Dashboard identified 47 reused passwords on the first scan.
The Result
Offboarding time dropped from 3 hours to 8 minutes. The company passed its first SOC 2 Type I audit without findings on credential management. Estimated breach cost avoided: $200,000+ (IBM average breach cost for SMBs is $4.45M — scaled to 30 people).
💡 ROI Estimate: Tool costs $240/mo. One prevented breach saves $200k+. ROI: incalculable, but the offboarding time savings alone = $1,800/mo.
