1Password, a prominent identity security provider, has announced the expansion of its global Partner Program, aiming to accelerate partner-led growth amidst increasing demand for identity security solutions across software-as-a-service (SaaS) and AI-driven operational landscapes.
The program is designed to offer partners a structured and profitable pathway to deliver services and scale recurring revenue as identity becomes a critical component in securing modern work environments. Partners are increasingly vital in assisting organizations with identifying identity risks, securing access, and implementing governance strategies that extend beyond traditional Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) frameworks. This shift has contributed to significant growth within 1Password’s channel ecosystem, attracting companies such as Insight, GuidePoint Security, QBS Technology Group, SHI International, TD SYNNEX, and TRS Consulting.
Larissa Crandall, Global Vice President of Channel and Alliances at 1Password, stated, “Security has transitioned from protecting networks to safeguarding identity, fundamentally altering how businesses operate within SaaS and AI-driven environments. The expanded 1Password Partner Program reflects this change. We are dedicated to investing in partners who are committed to leading with identity security, scaling services confidently, and growing with us as demand continues to rise.”
The proliferation of SaaS applications and the emergence of AI agents requiring human-level access have altered how organizations approach security. Identity has become central to access, accountability, and trust, creating an opportunity for partners to assume a more strategic role with their clients. The expanded program seeks to enable partners to convert this demand into predictable, profitable growth through several key focus areas. These include enhancing profitability and recurring revenue through improved incentives and discounts, encouraging net-new business acquisition with incentives for early deal registration, facilitating faster scaling via a simplified global model, and fostering long-term growth by delivering identity security outcomes that build customer trust and relationships.
More than 75% of 1Password’s revenue originates from businesses that utilize the platform to manage access securely across SaaS and AI-powered workflows. As organizations broaden access to non-human identities and autonomous systems, partners are increasingly using 1Password as a foundational trust layer, enabling customers to innovate rapidly without increasing risk. By unifying visibility and governance for both human and non-human identities, 1Password supports partners in differentiating their services, deepening client relationships, and aligning their growth with the identity security requirements of modern SaaS-forward and AI-powered organizations.
Scott Goree, Senior Vice President, Partners, Alliances and Ecosystems at Optiv, commented, “As businesses operate more extensively across SaaS and AI-driven environments, identity has emerged as a key factor in managing cyber risk. 1Password enables our teams to help clients establish stronger identity governance without impeding business operations, especially as non-human identities and automation introduce new complexities. This foundation allows us to design and implement identity security programs that adapt to how contemporary organizations function.”
Scott Young, SVP, Vendor Management at TD SYNNEX, added, “Our collaboration with 1Password enhances our capability to integrate identity security as a core element of our security strategy. The program’s structure directly supports our approach to building, scaling, and delivering security services for our customers, allowing us to better address their evolving identity security needs.”
Daniel Hurel, Senior Vice President Westcon EMEA Go-To-Market at Westcon-Comstor, noted, “Our collaboration with 1Password is strengthening, driven by a shared commitment to assisting channel partners in capitalizing on the rapid growth opportunities within identity security. By combining 1Password’s leadership in identity security with Westcon-Comstor’s enablement, insights, and reach, we are empowering partners across EMEA to accelerate adoption, generate new revenue streams, and deliver tangible value to their customers.”

Leading companies including Asana, Associated Press, Browserbase, Canva, Cresta, Golden State Warriors, Hugging Face, MongoDB, Octopus Energy, Salesforce, SandboxAQ, Slack, Stripe, and Under Armour rely on 1Password for secure access.
