“ The ability to securely share information using Keeper has been a game changer for us, especially for setting up two-factor authentication,” said Stiebel.

Best-in-Class Security – Keeper’ s zero-trust and zero-knowledge security architecture is unmatched in safeguarding information and mitigating the risk of a data breach. Keeper combines device-level, Elliptic-Curve Cryptography( ECC) with multiple layers of encryption( at the vault, folder and record levels), multifactor and biometric authentication, as well as FIPS 140-3 validated AES 256-bit encryption plus PBKDF2. Keeper is SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliant – with the longest-standing compliance in the industry – as well as FedRAMP and StateRAMP Authorised.

Organisation Impact

By implementing Keeper across the entire organisation, NatWest Cushon gained centralised control over password and passkey security, enabling IT to enforce strong password policies, monitor credential hygiene and facilitate secure access management.

The company received strong guidance on adoption strategies, which helped employees transition away from previous methods of password management. The deployment of Keeper had a transformative effect of NatWest Cushon, improving both security and efficiency across the organisation. The key impacts include:

Stronger Security and Compliance – Keeper improved NatWest Cushon’ s security posture and ensured compliance with ISO certification requirements in the United Kingdom. IT administrators can now leverage Keeper’ s centralised dashboard to monitor credential security in real time.

Streamlined Onboarding and Offboarding – With Keeper, access to account credentials can be seamlessly provisioned or decommissioned during the onboarding or offboarding process. This, along with rolling Keeper out organisation-wide, has streamlined collaboration and operational efficiency.

“ Keeper has made onboarding and offboarding much smoother. It’ s a fundamental security measure for the entire organisation,” said Stiebel.

The IT team now has complete visibility into every employee’ s password hygiene and complexity and can monitor for any credential exposure with BreachWatch dark web monitoring, ensuring that all credentials are protected from unauthorised access.

Proactive Data Protection – Keeper’ s BreachWatch functionality provides real-time alerts on compromised credentials, enabling the company to take action and minimise exposure.

User Adoption and Seamless Collaboration – Keeper’ s intuitive interface and ease of use have driven high adoption rates, particularly among nontechnical staff. Its user-friendly browser extension simplifies password and passkey management, improving collaboration across departments and reducing friction when accessing shared records.

By implementing Keeper, NatWest Cushon has significantly enhanced its cybersecurity framework, ensuring stronger protection of sensitive financial data. Employees now have a seamless, secure and efficient way to manage credentials, reducing risks associated with weak passwords and unauthorised access. The company has also achieved greater operational efficiency, improved compliance with industry regulations and streamlined collaboration across teams. With a scalable and user-friendly solution in place, NatWest Cushon is well positioned to continue its growth while maintaining the highest security standards.

Keeper Password Manager

Most businesses have limited visibility into the password practices of their employees, which greatly increases cyber-risk. Password hygiene cannot be improved without critical information regarding password usage and compliance.

Keeper solves this by providing ultimate security, visibility and control.

Data is protected with Keeper’ s zero-knowledge security architecture and world-class encryption. Zero-knowledge means that only the user has the knowledge of and access to their master password and the encryption key used to encrypt and decrypt their information.

Keeper is intuitive and easy to deploy, regardless of the size of the business. Keeper integrates with Active Directory and LDAP servers, which streamlines provisioning and onboarding. Keeper SSO Connect integrates into existing SSO solutions and is FedRAMP and StateRAMP Authorised.

Keeper is designed to scale for organisations of any size. Features such as role-based permissions, team sharing, departmental auditing and delegated administration, support organisations as they grow. Keeper Commander provides robust APIs to integrate into current and future systems.

NatWest Cushon is a leader in the financial services industry, providing workplace savings and pension solutions. As the first UK pension provider to prioritise green investment strategies, NatWest Cushon has experienced rapid growth, leading to its acquisition by NatWest in 2023. With 600,000- plus members and 20,000-plus employers using the Cushon platform, NatWest Cushon manages over £ 3 billion in assets.
