SaaS and AI apps now power every department across your business, from marketing and finance to HR and engineering, yet nearly 50% of tools are invisible to IT and security personnel. That’s not a future risk—it’s happening now and is exposing your business to:
- Data breaches and account takeovers
- Unmet customer or partner requirements
- Wasted spend on unused, over-provisioned, or unapproved apps
- Burdensome onboarding and offboarding processes
- Compliance violations and skyrocketing cyber insurance premiums

Designed for lean IT teams with distributed workforces, Business Max offers the broadest set of LastPass capabilities to secure today’s dynamic, AI- and SaaS-powered workplace. Enable secure access for employees using credentials stored in the LastPass vault or via SSO integration with Microsoft Entra or another identity provider—while detecting and controlling access to unapproved or high-risk applications through blocking, warning, or restricting. Business Max can operate independently or complement gaps in CASBs, IdPs, and zero trust solutions by adding credential-level visibility and lightweight enforcement where these tools fall short.
Why Business Max is for you
Stop shadow SaaS and AI risk
You lack visibility into and control over SaaS and AI apps — which means risky tools and shadow logins could be slipping past your defenses.
Stop risky password habits
You need to stop risky password behavior without slowing employees down — because reused and weak credentials are still the #1 cause of breaches.
Simplify employee access
You need an easier way to onboard and offboard employees — so access is granted and revoked with less friction.
Centralize SSO and MFA
You want simple, centralized SSO and MFA for access control — to reduce login fatigue and strengthen security without juggling multiple tools.

Frequently asked questions
Business Max is the most advanced LastPass tier. It combines credential management, app visibility, and access control—all built into the LastPass browser extension.
Business Max is built for growing businesses with lean IT teams that need more than password management to stay secure. If you're looking for a simple, centralized way to enforce MFA and SSO, gain visibility into which apps your teams are using, and reduce risk without slowing anyone down—Business Max is for you.
Password management alone is not enough to secure your business against today’s app and AI-based threats. Business Max helps you spot hidden apps, secure every login, and stop risky behavior before it escalates into a threat—all without slowing your team down.
SaaS Monitoring, a feature of Business Max, discovers the business applications used across your organization and aggregates usage data, such as how often they’re used, by whom, and how they’re being logged into. The insights help you spot risky or redundant applications, credential misuse, and opportunities to eliminate waste and consolidate costs from unused or overprovisioned apps.
SaaS Monitoring shows you the apps employees are using, including unapproved ones, and flags weak or reused credentials. SaaS Protect takes the next step—letting you block risky apps, guide users to approved tools, and act on credential alerts before they become threats.
No. Business Max is agentless and built right into the LastPass browser extension. Employees log in as usual—while admins gain visibility, alerts, and control in the background.
