Keeper Security and SailPoint connect privileged access governance

Keeper Security has launched an integration with SailPoint that links identity governance to privileged access management, automating provisioning, deprovisioning and entitlement controls for Keeper users and resources. The companies say the connection reduces manual reconciliation, strengthens compliance and gives auditors a single record across both platforms.

Why it matters: - Identity governance and privileged access management have often operated as separate systems, forcing security teams to manually carry access decisions from one platform to another. - The Keeper SaaS Connector is designed to automate that handoff, which can reduce cleanup work after role changes, revocations and offboarding. - Keeper cites 2026 research showing 96% of senior IT leaders see disconnected security tools creating exploitable gaps, and 64% do not yet have fully consolidated privileged access governance.

What happened: - Keeper Security announced an integration with SailPoint in London on September 17, 2026. - The Keeper SaaS Connector links SailPoint’s identity governance and administration platform directly to KeeperPAM. - The integration lets SailPoint control provisioning, deprovisioning and entitlements for Keeper users, vaults and managed resources.

The details: - SailPoint-defined roles and entitlements can be provisioned automatically in Keeper across team memberships, shared folders, roles, nodes, records and administrative permissions. - Access certifications can include the privileged credentials stored in Keeper, so reviews reflect actual access. - Organizations can choose which entitlement types SailPoint manages inside Keeper. - Keeper says credentials are never exposed to SailPoint during the process, preserving its zero-knowledge architecture. - Every grant, update and revocation is logged across both platforms. - Darren Guccione, Keeper Security CEO and co-founder, said governance is only as strong as its enforcement and that the integration closes a gap for human and non-human identities.

Between the lines: - The integration targets a common enterprise pain point: security teams often have compliance approvals in one system and enforcement in another, which creates delay and risk. - By tying SailPoint certifications to Keeper-managed credentials, the setup is meant to make audits more complete and less dependent on manual reconciliation. - Keeper is also positioning the integration for federal environments, where privileged credential control and least-privilege enforcement are especially sensitive.

What's next: - The integration is available now for organizations using SailPoint for identity governance and KeeperPAM for privileged access management. - Keeper says the setup removes the manual reconciliation work between the two systems. - For federal agencies, the integration supports NIST Special Publication 800-53 Rev. 5 requirements for account management, least privilege enforcement and privileged credential control. - Keeper says scheduled SailPoint access certifications will now include privileged credentials, non-human identities and other identities managed by Keeper. - The company directs readers to Keeper Security’s integrations for more information.

The bottom line: - Keeper and SailPoint are trying to close the gap between who should have privileged access and who actually gets it, with automation replacing manual handoffs.
