## About

Keeper Security is a privately held cybersecurity company founded in 2011 in Chicago by Darren Guccione and Craig Lurey. It provides enterprise password management, privileged access management (PAM), secrets management, and encrypted messaging for businesses of all sizes. Keeper uses a zero-knowledge, zero-trust security architecture and stores all vault data encrypted on the client before syncing to Keeper's cloud. The product is available as a cloud SaaS deployment or through government-certified on-premise and FedRAMP-authorized cloud options for regulated industries. Keeper has raised approximately $60M in funding and reports serving over 20 million users and more than 40,000 business customers worldwide.

## Ratings

| G2 | 4.7/5 | 1,200 |
| Capterra | 4.7/5 | 750 |
| Gartner Peer Insights | 4.6/5 | 95 |

## Funding

~$60M in disclosed funding

| Round | Amount | Date | Lead |
|---|---|---|---|
| Series A | $6M | 2014 | Baird Capital |
| Series B | $54M | 2019 | Goldman Sachs |

## Viability

Low risk for the core use case. Keeper has been in market since 2011, is self-described as profitable, and has a large global customer base across SMB, enterprise, and government. The FedRAMP High authorization is a meaningful differentiator in regulated markets where Bitwarden and 1Password do not compete. Funding is modest compared to 1Password (~$920M), but the company's long operating history and reported profitability reduce the runway concern. The main watch-item is whether Keeper can compete with better-funded peers on product velocity.

## Pricing

Keeper's Business plan at $4/user/mo is competitive with Bitwarden Enterprise ($5/user/mo) and significantly cheaper than 1Password Business ($7.99/user/mo). The catch is the add-on structure: BreachWatch runs about $2/user/mo extra, advanced reporting is another add-on, and privileged access management (KeeperPAM) is priced separately on top. A fully-loaded Keeper deployment can end up close to 1Password's all-in price. Enterprise pricing is custom and typically includes bundle negotiations. Always request a quote with the specific add-ons you need.

| Plan | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Business | $4/user/mo (billed annually) | Core password management, shared vaults, admin console, SSO, basic reporting |
| Business+ (with add-ons) | $6–8/user/mo depending on add-ons | BreachWatch, advanced reporting, compliance reports added to Business base |
| Enterprise | Custom | KeeperPAM, privileged session management, on-prem options, FedRAMP cloud, dedicated support |

## What reviewers say

_~1,200 G2 reviews at 4.7/5 and ~750 Capterra reviews at 4.7/5; strong enterprise and government satisfaction_

**Praised:**
- Security architecture and compliance depth get the most praise from enterprise and government buyers: FedRAMP, SOC 2, HIPAA, and zero-knowledge encryption are cited as reasons to choose Keeper over competitors in regulated industries
- The BreachWatch feature, which monitors if stored credentials have appeared in known data breaches, is called out as a practical value-add that surfaces real risks rather than theoretical ones
- Admin controls and reporting depth satisfy enterprise IT teams, with granular role-based access, detailed audit logs, and a compliance reporting module that saves time during audits

**Complaints:**
- The UI, while functional, is described by many reviewers as less modern than 1Password or Bitwarden, with an interface that feels dated on the admin console side
- Add-on pricing frustrates some customers: BreachWatch, encrypted messaging (KeeperChat), and advanced reporting are separate paid add-ons rather than included in the base Business plan
- Browser extension autofill is cited as occasionally inconsistent on complex enterprise SSO login pages, and mobile app performance on Android gets a few negative mentions

## Compliance

- **SOC 2:** Yes (SOC 2 Type II)
- **GDPR:** Yes
- **HIPAA:** Yes (BAA available)
- **SSO:** Yes (SSO on Business and Enterprise via SAML 2.0)

## Integrations

- Okta
- Azure Active Directory

## FAQs

### What is Keeper Security best known for?

Keeper's strongest differentiation is its enterprise-grade compliance posture. It is one of very few commercial password managers with FedRAMP High authorization, making it a leading option for US federal agencies and defense contractors. Its privileged access management (PAM) layer, KeeperPAM, also positions it in the broader PAM market alongside CyberArk and BeyondTrust, not just the password manager category.

### How much does Keeper cost per user?

The Business plan is $4/user/mo billed annually. Enterprise pricing is negotiated and varies by contract size, support level, and included modules. Add-ons like BreachWatch (dark web monitoring) and advanced reporting run additional per-user fees on top of the base plan. Request a bundled quote if you plan to use more than one add-on.

### Does Keeper have a free plan?

There is no free plan for business use. A free personal plan is available for individuals with basic password storage. Business and Enterprise plans include a 14-day free trial. Teams comparing free options should look at Bitwarden, which has a genuinely functional free personal tier and a low-cost Teams plan.

### Is Keeper Security FedRAMP authorized?

Yes. Keeper Government Cloud holds FedRAMP High authorization, the highest level of federal compliance. This makes Keeper one of the few commercial password managers eligible for deployment at US federal agencies and defense contractors with the most stringent data handling requirements.

### How does Keeper compare to 1Password and Bitwarden?

Keeper sits between 1Password (more polished, more expensive) and Bitwarden (cheaper, open-source) on most dimensions. Its main differentiators are FedRAMP authorization, the integrated PAM layer (KeeperPAM), and a longer enterprise sales track record. It is not open-source, so teams that value code auditability will lean toward Bitwarden. Teams that want the best UI and developer tooling will lean toward 1Password.
