Keeper Security Review: Enterprise Password Management With Compliance Auditing

Keeper's positioning is at the compliance-heavy end of enterprise password management — where 1Password wins on UX quality, Keeper wins on audit depth, role enforcement, and regulatory compliance reporting. For organisations that must demonstrate credential management practices to auditors, Keeper's feature set matches the requirement.

Audit Logs and Compliance

Keeper logs every vault action with timestamps — credential access, sharing events, admin configuration changes, failed login attempts, and policy violations. These logs export in formats compatible with SIEM tools and compliance reporting workflows. For SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS audits where credential management controls must be demonstrable, Keeper's audit trail provides the evidence layer that most password managers lack.

Role-Based Policy Enforcement

Keeper's admin console enforces credential policies by role — requiring minimum password length, mandating master password strength, restricting vault sharing outside designated groups, and requiring 2FA with specific methods. Policies apply automatically when users are assigned roles, eliminating the reliance on individual behaviour for compliance. An administrator can verify that no credentials have been shared outside approved groups through audit reports.

BreachWatch

Keeper's BreachWatch dark web monitoring uses a privacy-preserving hashed comparison — storing and transmitting only hashed credential data rather than actual credentials when checking breach databases. This architecture allows monitoring without exposing the real passwords to any external system, maintaining zero-knowledge principles during the monitoring operation.

Score: 8.6/10 — Best enterprise password manager for compliance-regulated industries; BreachWatch as a paid add-on and higher pricing add up for small teams.
