Terry KS SINGAPORE, 25 JUNE 2026 – Cybersecurity firm Keeper Security has taken direct aim at one of enterprise security’s most persistent weak points, the tendency for employees to bypass access control processes when they are too slow or complicated, with the release of its new Keeper Teams App for Microsoft Teams.
The integration brings privileged access management workflows into the collaboration platform that millions of organisations already rely on daily, removing the friction that typically pushes users toward unsanctioned workarounds. Powered by Keeper Secrets Manager and Commander Service Mode, the app preserves the company’s zero-knowledge security architecture, meaning no credentials or secrets ever pass through Keeper’s cloud infrastructure.
The problem the integration addresses is structural. When privileged access requests are handled through email chains, IT ticketing systems, or standalone portals, security teams lose the real-time visibility that zero-trust enforcement demands. For organisations running Microsoft Teams as their primary collaboration hub, this gap has long been a liability. The Keeper Teams App closes it by embedding governed, auditable access workflows directly where work already happens.
The app supports five core workflows designed to cover the most common privileged access scenarios. Users can submit and approve access to specific vault records or shared folders, with options for custom permissions and time-limited access windows. When a time-limited session expires, credentials automatically rotate on the vault side, ensuring no standing credential footprint remains after the session ends.
Additional capabilities include one-time self-destructing share links for passwords or secrets, just-in-time elevation request approvals routed through a dedicated Teams channel via Keeper Endpoint Privilege Manager, SSO Cloud device approvals handled directly within Teams, and a self-service secret creation function that lets users generate new login records with auto-generated passwords without leaving the platform.
The app is also built to handle mixed enterprise environments, intelligently distinguishing between Classic shared records and Nested Shared Folder records, and presenting the appropriate permission model for each type.
Craig Lurey, CTO and Co-founder of Keeper Security, explained the core philosophy behind the integration: by embedding approval workflows directly into Teams, the company has ensured that the secure path and the fast path are now the same path.
On the deployment side, the Keeper Teams App is customer-hosted and runs via Docker alongside Commander Service Mode on the organisation’s own infrastructure, reinforcing end-to-end encryption and zero-knowledge compliance. Setup is automated through a dedicated command in Keeper Commander, enabling rapid deployment without complex configuration.
The Teams App joins a growing list of workflow integrations from Keeper Security, which recently announced similar connectors for Jira, ServiceNow, and Slack. The Keeper Teams App is available now for organisations holding a Keeper Secrets Manager or KeeperPAM licence, with setup documentation accessible at docs.keeper.io.
