Enterprise Vault extends Zoho Vault with features designed for IT governance at scale. Admins can provision users from a directory service such as Azure AD or Google Workspace, push Chambers and Secrets to users without requiring the users to discover them manually, enforce org-wide Password Policies, restrict export and sharing capabilities, and access comprehensive audit logs that record every vault event across every user. IP-based access restriction and session management are also available at this tier.
Upgrade to Enterprise Vault when your organisation has more than a handful of vault users and needs centralised governance rather than a collection of individually managed personal vaults. It is particularly relevant when you are subject to compliance requirements such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, or PCI-DSS that mandate audit trails and access reviews. Enterprise Vault is also the appropriate tier when IT must onboard and offboard users automatically via directory sync rather than manually managing each account.
Enterprise Vault requires a paid per-user subscription beyond the standard Vault pricing. Directory integration setup requires admin access to both your identity provider and Zoho Directory. Comprehensive audit logs are stored for a defined period depending on your subscription; export them to a SIEM or long-term storage if your compliance policy requires retention beyond Vault’s native window. Plan your Chamber structure and role hierarchy before migrating existing Secrets from a standard vault to avoid disorganised permission inheritance.
No. Zoho Vault uses client-side, zero-knowledge encryption. Even at the Enterprise tier, administrators cannot read the plain-text content of Secrets owned by other users. Admins can see metadata such as which users accessed which Secrets and when, and they can transfer ownership of Secrets, but they cannot decrypt and read the credential values without being explicitly granted access.
Yes. Enterprise Vault integrates with Zoho Directory, which supports SAML-based SSO with identity providers including Azure AD, Okta, and Google Workspace. Users authenticate to the vault using their corporate identity, and IT can enforce MFA policies through the directory. This centralises authentication management and ensures that offboarding via the identity provider also revokes Vault access.
