Why do small teams need a password manager?

Small teams still manage high-value SaaS access. A password manager reduces reuse risk, improves onboarding/offboarding hygiene, and supports secure sharing.

What should small teams prioritize first?

Start with shared admin accounts, enforce MFA/passkeys, and use a clear rotation policy for any credential touched by multiple operators.

Can teams start small and scale later?

Yes. Aegis is designed for phased rollout so small teams can start with core controls and add operational depth as risk grows.
