Keeper Security has launched the Keeper Teams App, a new integration that brings privileged access request and approval workflows directly into Microsoft Teams, eliminating the need for users to switch between tools to manage credential access.

The integration is powered by Keeper Secrets Manager (KSM) and Commander Service Mode, preserving Keeper’s zero-knowledge security model while embedding governed, auditable access workflows within Teams.

Closing the Zero-Trust Gap in Collaboration Tools

Organisations relying on email chains, IT tickets or separate portals to manage privileged access requests create structural visibility gaps that undermine zero-trust enforcement. For enterprises where Microsoft Teams serves as the primary collaboration platform, the Keeper Teams App addresses this directly by routing access governance into the environment where security and IT teams already operate.

The integration supports five core workflows: record and folder access requests with time-limited windows and automatic credential rotation upon expiry; one-time self-destructing share links for passwords or secrets; just-in-time elevation approvals via Keeper Endpoint Privilege Manager; SSO Cloud device approvals; and self-service secret creation with records saved directly to the Keeper Vault.

The app is designed to handle mixed vault environments, surfacing whether items are Classic shared records or Nested Shared Folder (NSF) records, and presenting the appropriate permission model for each — standard permissions for Classic items and role-based NSF permissions for NSF items.

Customer-Hosted, Zero-Knowledge Architecture

The Keeper Teams App is deployed via Docker alongside Commander Service Mode on the customer’s own infrastructure, ensuring no credentials or secrets pass through Keeper’s cloud. Configuration is managed through KSM, and a dedicated setup command in Keeper Commander automates deployment.

“The weakest point in any access control strategy is the moment a user decides to work around it because the approved process is too cumbersome or slow. By embedding approval workflows directly into Teams, we removed the friction that drives those workarounds, so the secure path and the fast path are one and the same.” — Craig Lurey, CTO and Co-founder, Keeper Security

The Teams App extends Keeper’s workflow integration ecosystem, joining recently announced integrations with Jira, ServiceNow and Slack. It is available now for organisations with a Keeper Secrets Manager or KeeperPAM licence. Setup documentation is available at docs.keeper.io.
