Keeper Security

Overview

Keeper Security started as a password manager and grew into KeeperPAM, a cloud-native platform that combines vaulting, secrets management, connection management, and session recording. Its angle is approachability: privileged access that an SMB or mid-market team can adopt without standing up a heavyweight enterprise PAM program. Its Keeper Security Government Cloud (KSGC) holds FedRAMP authorization at the High impact level, announced on 23 December 2025 and building on a Moderate authorization from August 2022, which broadens its public-sector appeal. The authorization covers KSGC, not the commercial cloud, so federal buyers need the government edition.

What it is good at

A smooth on-ramp from password management to privileged access. Teams already using Keeper for credential storage can extend into rotation, secrets, and brokered remote connections with session recording, all from one zero-knowledge architecture. Deployment is light, pricing is transparent, and the FedRAMP High authorization for the government cloud and zero-knowledge encryption are reassuring for security-conscious buyers. It also serves double duty as an enterprise password manager.

Where it falls short

At the top of the market, the deepest privileged use cases (extensive session isolation, broad legacy target coverage, complex workflow) still favor CyberArk (now Idira, part of Palo Alto Networks), BeyondTrust, and Delinea. KeeperPAM is newer than those incumbents, so very large or highly regulated privileged estates should validate coverage carefully. Lifecycle and governance are lighter than dedicated suites.

Pricing

Business Starter and Business password-manager plans are sold per user per month, billed annually, with self-serve checkout; Enterprise is quote-based, and KeeperPAM is custom pricing through sales. Free trials are offered across the business plans and KeeperPAM. The pricing page loads its amounts dynamically, so confirm the current per-seat figure at checkout (checked 2026-10-30).

Best for, and who should look elsewhere

Choose Keeper when you want password management and approachable privileged access from one zero-knowledge platform, especially in SMB, mid-market, or FedRAMP contexts. Choose Idira (formerly CyberArk), BeyondTrust, or Delinea for the largest, most complex privileged estates.

Bottom line

A pragmatic, well-priced path from password management into privileged access for teams growing into PAM rather than starting at enterprise scale.
