Small teams want more supervision of sensitive client credentials without running heavy infrastructure. Self-hosting the encrypted vault gives you clear ownership of where it lives and how it is protected. No dependencies that create uncertainty. Here is why it is valuable for small teams of up to 30 people:
Pick the server, region, and environment where the encrypted vault sits without relying on external providers.
Set your own backup schedule and retention policy. Match protection levels to your team’s risk profile without relying on vendor storage.
If you prefer to host the database with APH instead of self-hosting, we offer automatic
Track database activity with your own tools. You monitor queries, connections, and whitelisted IPs so nothing moves without your visibility.
Encryption happens on your device. Only encrypted blobs leave the device. Nothing readable reaches APH at any point.
APH cannot view your master password, keys, or stored items. Decryption never occurs on our side, and your vault remains private.
All data in transit is protected with TLS 1.2+. The encrypted payload moves from your device to your database infrastructure without exposure.
If your team does not want to manage servers, our cloud hosting uses the same zero-knowledge and end-to-end encryption. Your credentials data is encrypted before it enters our servers.
If you want clarity on hosting, deployment, or requirements, just reach out. We will simplify it for you in minutes.
Here are the questions teams usually ask before choosing self-hosting. These quick answers will help you move forward without confusion.
