Detailed Review
SecureSafe puts credentials and files in the same safe, which is the reason to choose it over a pure password manager: the contract, the scan of the passport and the login for the portal it belongs to end up in one place rather than three.
It is run by DSwiss AG at Flurstrasse 64 in Zurich, registered under UID CHE-112.888.238 with a branch in Roveredo GR and an office in Lisbon, and it is certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022. Data centres are exclusively in Switzerland, although DSwiss does not name the operator — so you know the country and not the company holding the racks.
Read the security page before buying, because SecureSafe is not zero-knowledge and does not claim to be. It describes server-side encryption with controlled, audited internal decryption, which means DSwiss can, under its own controls, decrypt what it stores.
Every other manager in this directory is built so the provider mathematically cannot. That is a design decision rather than an oversight — it is what makes server-side features and the digital-inheritance function work — but it changes what a Swiss jurisdiction buys you: with zero knowledge the law barely matters, and here it is the whole protection.
Pricing is published, which is more than several rivals manage: the Pass module starts at CHF 11.70 a month for Starter, CHF 3.20 per user per month for Professional and CHF 4.60 per user per month for Business, with Pass + File bundles from CHF 19.90 a month for five users.
All plans have a 14-day trial. The pages do not say whether those figures include VAT, EUR and USD can be selected on the pricing page, and Switzerland sits outside the EEA under an adequacy decision, so an EU buyer is relying on that decision holding.
What SecureSafe does well
- Passwords and files in one safe, so credentials and documents stay together
- ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified
- Data centres exclusively in Switzerland
- Published per-user pricing from CHF 3.20 and a 14-day trial on every plan
- Swiss company with a register entry: DSwiss AG, UID CHE-112.888.238, Zurich
Where SecureSafe falls short
- Not zero-knowledge: server-side encryption with controlled, audited internal decryption
- The Swiss data centre operator is not named
- Switzerland is outside the EEA, so transfers rest on the adequacy decision
- Closed source, and the prices do not state whether VAT is included
Standout feature. Swiss soil, but not zero knowledge: SecureSafe is the one safe here that its own operator can open, which is exactly why where it stands matters so much.
