Keeper vs Dashlane: Which should you choose?

Keeper is FedRAMP High Certified and GovRAMP High Authorized, the highest levels of federal and state government authorization, hosted on AWS GovCloud with U.S.-only data storage and a sequestered U.S. Persons-only support team.

Keeper's cryptographic module is FIPS 140-3 validated by the NIST Cryptographic Module Validation Program, a mandatory requirement for U.S. federal agencies and defense contractors. Keeper is also SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3, ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018 certified, and supports ITAR compliance.

Keeper has the longest-standing SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications in the industry.

Keeper implements zero-knowledge encryption at the record level, meaning every item in your Keeper Vault is protected by its own unique AES-256 key generated locally on your device.

Keeper has no ability to access your data, your secrets or your infrastructure at any level. Keeper's cryptographic module is FIPS 140-3 validated, and this architecture is the reason Keeper has maintained a clean security record across its entire history without any breaches, settlements or regulatory penalties.

Keeper delivers a complete privileged access management solution. KeeperPAM provides agentless remote access to servers, databases and internal applications over SSH, RDP and browser sessions — all fully recorded, encrypted and stored in the vault.

Keeper Endpoint Privilege Manager enforces Just-In-Time (JIT) elevation on Linux, Windows and macOS, eliminating standing local admin rights.

Automated credential rotation eliminates standing credentials across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.

Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) provides users with secure, VPN-free access to internal web applications without exposing credentials to local devices. The Advanced Reporting & Alerts Module (ARAM) tracks over 300 auditable events with real-time SIEM integration into CrowdStrike, Microsoft Sentinel, Google Security Operations and Splunk.

KeeperAI is an agentic AI engine embedded within KeeperPAM that delivers real-time threat detection and automated response for privileged sessions. It continuously monitors keystroke logs and command execution, classifies behavior by risk level and can automatically terminate a session the moment a threat is detected. Admins can also receive encrypted activity summaries of every privileged session, eliminating manual reviews.

Built on a Sovereign AI framework, each organization retains full data ownership and can deploy KeeperAI on-premises or via cloud LLMs, including OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Google Vertex AI and Anthropic.

Keeper Secrets Manager (KSM) is a fully cloud-based, zero-knowledge secrets management solution requiring no on-premises components. KSM secures API keys, SSH keys, certificates, database passwords and CI/CD pipeline credentials, all under a zero-knowledge architecture.

KSM integrates natively with Terraform, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, Jenkins and other DevOps toolchains. Keeper supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) within KSM, so AI tools and agents can securely retrieve secrets.

Keeper also provides SDKs for multiple languages, a full REST API, a powerful CLI and deep integrations with SIEM, SOAR, IGA and SSO platforms.

Keeper gives organizations full control over where their data is hosted. Keeper operates data centers across the United States, U.S. Government Cloud (AWS GovCloud), Europe, Australia, Canada and Japan, allowing customers to choose the region that meets their data sovereignty and regulatory requirements.

For government and regulated environments, all data stays within the selected region, with no cross-border transfers.

Keeper gives administrators granular control through a node-based organizational structure that groups users, roles, teams and admins by department, location or business unit, each with fully independent policy sets.

Security teams can define exactly who accesses what, from which devices and under what conditions. Delegated administration allows different admins to manage their own segments of the organization without visibility into others.

Time-limited access, self-destructing records, nested shared folders and over 100 configurable enforcement policies give enterprises the precision they need across complex org structures without requiring customization or professional services.

Keeper introduced KeeperDB to bring database access under the same zero-trust controls as the rest of the platform. KeeperDB is a database management interface built inside the Keeper Vault, allowing privileged users to securely query and manage MySQL, PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server databases without credentials ever touching a local device.

Every session is fully recorded, policy-governed and runs inside Keeper. Administrators can enforce read-only sessions, grant time-limited access and control data exports, all with a complete audit trail from the same console that manages the rest of the platform.

Keeper's BreachWatch® continuously monitors the dark web for credentials exposed from your organization's vaults. Your credentials are never transmitted to or compared directly against any third-party service. All matching happens inside Keeper's encrypted environment, delivering real-time breach detection with no additional exposure risk.

BreachWatch also provides enterprise-level risk visibility with actionable remediation guidance for administrators across the entire organization.

Keeper provides 24/7 customer support via phone and live chat, with dedicated customer success managers for enterprise accounts.

Keeper's offline vault allows users to create, edit and manage records without an internet connection; changes sync automatically when connectivity is restored.

Keeper is available across every major platform with a consistent, full-featured experience, including a web vault, desktop apps for Windows, Mac and Linux, mobile apps and browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge and Opera.
