The panel's verdict

WALLIX Bastion is a privileged access management product from WALLIX, a French company registered in Paris under French law. The bench is clearest on audit and policy, where scores cluster at 7: a SIEM logs guide covers authentication, vault-activity, session-integrity, command-line and file-transfer events, alongside unalterable audit trails and video session recording. Deployment and portability follows at 6 to 7, built on on-premises appliances, high-availability replication, disaster-recovery migration and rollback. The weakest area outside pricing is security architecture, 2 to 3: the pages describe a certified vault, password encryption and a configurable cryptographic security level but name no algorithms, key model or independent audit, and the listed standards read as ones the product helps customers meet. Sovereignty is a genuine split, 5 to 7: some judges credit the French entity, the CNIL, France hosting for the identity product and the on-premises option, while others found no public data-processing agreement, no stated hosting region for the Bastion's own cloud, and non-EU analytics in the website chain. Pricing stays off the pages — a free trial and expert contact only.

Speaks for it

  • Audit and policy scores cluster at 7 on a documented SIEM event model, unalterable audit trails and video session recording.
  • Deployment and portability scores run 6 to 7 on on-premises ISO and appliance options, cloud tenant images, high-availability replication, disaster-recovery migration and rollback.
  • Single sign-on over SAML and OpenID Connect verifies credentials against your own directory, with MFA from authenticator apps to passkeys and security keys.
  • Session sharing puts two users in one session with sensitive fields like passwords masked, and guest invites are logged.
  • Contracting sits under French law before the courts of Paris, with the CNIL named as supervisory authority and an on-premises deployment path documented.

Report an error

Held against it

  • Security architecture scores sit at 2 to 3, and we found no public information naming the vault's algorithms, key derivation or an independent audit.
  • The listed standards are framed as requirements the solution helps customers meet rather than audits of the vendor itself.
  • We found no public information on admin account recovery, emergency access, or what happens to a leaver's shared items.
  • We found no public information on SCIM or directory sync for automated provisioning and deprovisioning.
  • The captured pages give different figures for the vendor's legal form.

Report an error

Best for

  • You need deep privileged-session evidence for audits — a documented SIEM log model, unalterable trails and video session recording.
  • You want on-premises deployment with documented high-availability and disaster-recovery paths, or France hosting for the vendor's Identity Access offering.
  • You want a French contracting entity under French law, Paris courts and CNIL supervision.
  • You already run a directory and want federated SSO with MFA up to passkeys that works with it rather than replacing it.

Report an error

Avoid if

  • Your security review requires a named encryption algorithm, a key model or a published independent audit of the vault before purchase.
  • You rely on automated joiner and leaver lifecycle — the documented directory link is federation and credential verification, not SCIM-style provisioning.
  • You need public per-seat prices to budget before a sales conversation — the pages offer a free trial, demos and expert contact.

The scores

Panel median The median of the judges’ scores per criterion. Each label opens its reasoning below.

Encryption model & independent audits

Show reasoning
How this is scored

What the vendor can prove about its security design: end-to-end encryption with named algorithms and key derivation, which fields are encrypted on the device and which are not, independent audits and penetration tests with published results, a bug bounty, and incident history disclosed.

0 — Vault contents are readable by the vendor by its own description: server-side encryption with keys the vendor holds, or no encryption of stored credentials.

3 — Client-side or end-to-end encryption described with the algorithms named; key derivation, audits and the scope of what is encrypted are basic or not described.

5 — A published security whitepaper or security page naming algorithms, key derivation and the client-side encryption model, and an independent audit, penetration test or certification (ISO 27001, SOC 2) named.

8 — A stated list of which fields are and are not encrypted (including URLs and metadata), recurring independent penetration tests or code audits with dates and reports or summaries published, a public bug bounty or vulnerability disclosure policy, past security incidents documented with their impact, and open-source clients or cryptography that can be reviewed.

10 — The design is verifiable end to end: full source or cryptographic design public, every field encrypted client-side including metadata, audits by named firms repeated yearly with full reports, a threat model that states what a compromise of the vendor's servers would expose, and incident post-mortems published.

Report an error

The CISO

A password vault described as secure and certified, with password encryption, disk encryption and a configurable cryptographic security level, but the captured pages name no encryption algorithms, no audit firm, no test dates, no bug bounty and no incident history. The ISO 27001 and PCI DSS references describe standards the product helps customers meet, not independent audits of the vendor. On the day of a breach I would have nothing published to show the board. 4 11 12

Report an error

The Identity Engineer

The captured pages describe a "secure and certified vault" with password encryption, secure disk encryption and a configurable cryptographic security level, but name no algorithms and describe no key derivation. I found no public information on how vault keys are held or on any independent audit of the cryptography; the ISO 27001 and similar references sit in compliance copy about requirements the product helps customers meet. 11 12 4

The Compliance Auditor

The captured pages describe a certified password vault with password encryption, automated rotation, secure disk encryption and a configurable cryptographic security level, but name no algorithms, no key derivation and no field-by-field encryption scope. We found no public information on independent audits, penetration tests, a bug bounty or disclosed incidents; the standards listed are ones the solution claims to help customers meet, not audits of the vendor's own design. 11 12 4

The SME Owner

The captured pages describe password encryption, a "secure and certified vault" that "prohibits physical password reset or override", secure disk encryption, and a configurable cryptographic security level, but we found no public information naming the algorithms, the key model, or any independent audit, penetration test or bug bounty. ISO 27001 appears only as a standard the solution is said to help customers meet, not as a certification of the vendor itself. 4 11 12

Report an error

The DevOps Engineer

The pages describe a "secure and certified vault" with password encryption, automated rotation, a configurable cryptographic security level, disk encryption, and image checksum verification for deployments — but nowhere do the captures name the algorithms, the key model, or an independent audit with a published report. For a vault that will hold root credentials, encryption asserted in general terms without verifiable design detail is thin. 11 12 4

Report an error

The Skeptic

The captured pages describe a "secure and certified vault" and "password encryption" and offer a setting to "set the cryptographic security level", but name no cipher, key derivation or certifier, and I found no public audit report, penetration test, bug bounty or incident history in the captures. The compliance language ("meets the requirements of... ISO 27001") is a marketing list of standards, not an audit of this product. 11 12 4

Sharing, roles & recovery

Show reasoning
How this is scored

How credentials are shared and governed across a company: shared vaults or collections, role-based permissions, view-only and time-limited access, admin account recovery, emergency access, and what happens to shared items when an employee leaves.

0 — A personal password manager by the vendor's own description: no sharing between users is offered.

3 — Shared folders or vaults between users of one account; permission levels, admin recovery and offboarding are basic or not described.

5 — Shared vaults or collections with permission levels (for example read, edit, manage), groups and admin roles, and an admin account recovery or offboarding that keeps a leaver's shared items with the company.

8 — Recovery and offboarding documented with their key model, granular permissions down to hiding the password while allowing autofill, time-limited and one-time sharing with external parties, emergency access with a waiting period, delegated administration per team or location, and approval workflows for sensitive items.

10 — Access is governed and provable: least-privilege defaults, recovery and emergency access designed so the vendor never holds a key and stated so, periodic access reviews supported in the product, and every grant, change and revocation attributable to a person.

Report an error

The CISO

Session sharing with guest users and masked sensitive fields, IT joining live sessions, dynamic policy enforcement, and access certification campaigns with staff change tracking give the governance real shape, and guest invites are logged. We found no public information on permission levels for shared vault items, admin account recovery, emergency access, or the key model that applies when an employee leaves. 7 10 11 1

Report an error

The Identity Engineer

Session sharing between two users with sensitive fields kept confidential, logged guest invites, privilege elevation and delegation, and central policy enforcement for privileged accounts are documented. I found no public information on admin account recovery, emergency access, or what happens to a leaver's shared access, which is what I need for offboarding two thousand staff. 7 10 11 4

Report an error

The Compliance Auditor

Session sharing with sensitive fields like passwords masked, guest session invites that are logged, privilege elevation with precise delegation, and access certification campaigns with staff-change tracking are all documented. We found no public information on admin account recovery, emergency access, or the key model that governs a leaver's shared items. 7 10 11 1

Report an error

The SME Owner

There is a genuine vault with centrally enforced policy, privilege elevation and delegation "with precision", and session sharing where sensitive fields like passwords stay masked even while a guest user is invited and logged — that maps well to handing credentials to a colleague or third party without exposing them. But for my forty people I most need a documented admin recovery path when someone forgets a master password and offboarding that keeps a leaver's shared items with the company, and we found no public information on either, though staff-change tracking and access certification campaigns are mentioned. 1 4 7 10 11

Report an error

The DevOps Engineer

Session sharing grants two users the same session with sensitive fields like passwords masked, guest invites are supported and logged, and privileged access is governed through centrally defined and enforced PAM policies, privilege elevation and delegation, and access certification campaigns. We found no public information on admin account recovery, emergency access, or offboarding of an individual's items, so the recovery half of the picture is undated here. 7 11 1 4

Report an error

The Skeptic

Session sharing is documented with two users in one session, sensitive fields like passwords masked, and guest invites logged, and privilege elevation with precise delegation is described; I found no public information on vault-level permission roles, admin account recovery, emergency access, or what happens to shared access when an employee leaves. 7 10 11

SSO, directory sync & provisioning

Show reasoning
How this is scored

How the vault fits into the company's identity stack: SSO with Entra ID, Okta or Google, and the key model behind an SSO unlock; SCIM or directory sync for joiners and leavers; MFA options including hardware keys; and passkey support for users and the vault itself.

0 — A consumer product by the vendor's own description, with no business administration, SSO or directory connection offered.

3 — Users invited by email or CSV with two-factor authentication; SSO, directory sync and hardware keys are basic or not described.

5 — SSO with named identity providers (Entra ID, Okta, Google), SCIM or directory sync for provisioning and deprovisioning, and MFA including FIDO2 or hardware keys.

8 — The SSO unlock documented with how the vault key is derived or released and designed so the vendor cannot derive it, group sync driving vault permissions, automated suspension on deprovisioning, conditional access or device policies, and passkeys stored and used across platforms.

10 — Identity is integrated without trust shortcuts: the SSO key model published and independently reviewed, deprovisioning that revokes vault access and shared items immediately with a log entry, passwordless vault unlock with passkeys, and support for the customer's own key-management or trusted-device approval.

Audit logs, policies & reporting

Show reasoning
How this is scored

What an administrator and an auditor can see and enforce: event logs of access and changes, password health and breach reports, enforceable policies (master password, MFA, sharing, export), SIEM integration, and reports an ISO 27001 or NIS2 audit can use.

0 — No administration by the vendor's own description: a personal tool with no admin console, logs or policies.

3 — An admin console with an activity list and a password health or strength report; exportable logs and enforceable policies are basic or not described.

5 — Event logs covering logins, item access, sharing and admin changes, enforceable policies for master password and MFA, and password health and breach-monitoring reports.

8 — Logs exportable or available through an API with native SIEM integration to named targets (Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Elastic or syslog), policies for sharing, export and browser-extension behaviour, log retention stated, and compliance reports aligned to ISO 27001, NIS2 or BSI IT-Grundschutz.

10 — Auditability is complete: every view, copy, autofill and permission change logged with user and device, logs tamper-evident and retained for a configurable period, alerting on anomalous access, and an auditor role that can read logs without access to secrets.

Report an error

The CISO

Unalterable audit trails, video session recording, real-time audit, session log integrity checks, and a SIEM logs guide covering authentication, vault activity, command line and file transfer events are what an auditor can actually work with, and access certification campaigns support ISO 27001 and NIS2 style reviews. We found no public information on named SIEM destinations, a stated retention period for product logs, or an auditor role that reads logs without touching secrets. 6 10 11 1

Report an error

Hosting choice, offline access & export

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Where and how the vault runs and how the data leaves it: cloud region choice, a self-hosted or on-premises option, offline access during a vendor outage, client coverage across operating systems and browsers, and a complete, documented export and import path.

0 — Vault data cannot leave the product: the vendor states that no export is offered.

3 — Apps for common platforms and browsers and an export of vault items (for example CSV); hosting region, offline access and export completeness are basic or not described.

5 — Clients for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and the major browsers, offline access to the vault, an EU region or self-hosted option, and export and import of vault data including from named competitors.

8 — Both EU cloud and self-hosted or on-premises deployment documented, Linux clients, a status page with incident history, an encrypted full-fidelity export covering all item types including attachments, and vault access continuing during an outage of the vendor's service.

10 — The customer can run and leave the vault on their own terms: self-hosting with documented high availability and backup, an open or documented export format that preserves structure, permissions and history, and a stated procedure for continued access if the vendor ends the service.

European sovereignty panel opinion

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Who the contracting entity and the parent company are, where vault data and metadata are hosted, and who the subprocessors are. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; end-to-end encryption narrows what a foreign authority could compel, but metadata, logs and the update channel for the client software remain in the vendor's hands, so the chain still counts.

0 — Proven non-EU on every dimension the evidence covers: non-EU vendor and contracting entity and non-EU hosting, with no EU or self-hosted option stated.

3 — One European element proven: an EU data region, an EU contracting entity or EU representative, a self-hosted option, or a published DPA, with the rest of the chain unstated.

5 — EU hosting as standard or selectable, or a self-hosted option, and an EU contracting entity or EU representative, with a DPA offered; the parent company or parts of the chain (support, analytics, email, client distribution) are unstated or non-EU.

8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, subprocessor list published with locations, a DPA covering vault metadata and logs, and a self-hosted option that removes the vendor from the data path.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, entity, hosting and every subprocessor, certifications published (ISO 27001, BSI C5 or equivalent), and source code or builds verifiable so the client update channel is not a blind trust in the vendor.
