"We were getting worried about how to best manage security when work is done from personal machines. We trust our partners, but we needed to make a switch to a trust-but-verify culture."

About DrillDocs
DrillDocs is a technology company focused on bringing AI-driven insights to oil and gas drilling operations. By combining computer vision, edge computing and advanced analytics, DrillDocs helps drilling teams monitor well conditions in real time and make faster, data-driven decisions. Its solutions transform visual drilling data into actionable intelligence, improving operational efficiency, reducing risk and helping operators detect potential issues before they impact performance.
The challenge
As DrillDocs evolved from a founding engineering team into a distributed, production-support organisation, access management became increasingly complex. The organisation relied on Keeper Secrets Manager to automate credential retrieval during deployments. Credentials were programmatically injected during system builds and kept in memory during runtime workflows, ensuring they were never stored in plaintext on production systems.
While this approach effectively supported secure DevOps workflows, managing interactive privileged sessions across distributed internal and third-party users required a secure Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution. Leadership needed greater visibility, tighter access controls and a solution that could scale securely alongside the company's global operations.
The Keeper solution
DrillDocs deployed KeeperPAM, a comprehensive zero-trust, zero-knowledge PAM platform, to centralise privileged access, secure credentials and provide controlled remote session management without disrupting engineering workflows. Keeper's implementation process is simple and straightforward, making it seamless to transition both internal engineers and third-party support teams to a more secure access model.
"Keeper made a big change in our digital security culture. We're not keeping our credentials in unsafe places anymore."

KeeperPAM is a next-generation privileged access management platform that secures and manages access to critical resources, including servers, web apps, databases and workloads. Built on a zero-trust and zero-knowledge security architecture, KeeperPAM helps organisations of any size protect privileged accounts, enforce least privilege, secure remote infrastructure and support audit and compliance efforts, with unmatched ease of use and fast deployment.
Keeper is intuitive and easy to deploy, regardless of business size. KeeperPAM uses a zero-trust gateway service to access each environment. No firewall updates or ingress changes are needed, enabling seamless, secure access without complexity. With remote session capabilities, the user never has access to the credentials or SSH keys. Access to a resource can be time-limited, and credentials automatically rotate after access has been revoked when configured, providing Just-in-Time (JIT) access without ever exposing credentials.
Keeper is designed to scale for organisations of any size. KeeperPAM centralises access in a single User Interface (UI) across multiple cloud providers, on-premises workloads and client environments, enabling multi-cloud management.
