Cloudworks expands identity resilience with Keepit partnership

Cloudworks has entered into a partnership with Keepit, an independent cloud backup and recovery provider, expanding the solutions Cloudworks can offer within identity resilience and SaaS data protection across the Nordic region.

The partnership combines Cloudworks’ expertise in Identity and Access Management (IAM) with Keepit’s backup and recovery platform, helping organizations protect critical identity configurations and SaaS data and recover quickly when something goes wrong.

Identity security also requires recovery

Organizations increasingly depend on platforms such as Microsoft Entra ID and Okta to control access across their systems, applications, and data. If critical identity data or configurations are lost, changed, or compromised, being able to restore them quickly becomes essential.

Identity is critical infrastructure. Prevention alone is no longer enough. You need to be able to recover. Keepit gives us another strong option for helping customers build resilience into their identity environments, while also extending that protection across their broader SaaS landscape.

Independent protection for identity and SaaS

Keepit provides independent backup and recovery for Microsoft Entra ID and Okta, as well as business-critical SaaS applications including Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Jira, Confluence, and others.

Backup data is stored separately from the production SaaS environment in Keepit’s independent cloud infrastructure. Immutable, air-gapped backups provide an additional layer of resilience if production data or identity configurations are affected by human error, compromised credentials, ransomware, or other incidents.

With fast and granular recovery, organizations can restore individual objects and configurations without having to rebuild an entire environment.

Nordic roots. European data sovereignty.

Founded in Denmark and headquartered in Copenhagen, Keepit operates its own data centers in Europe, ensuring backup data is stored under European jurisdiction, with no dependency on hyperscaler infrastructure. For Nordic organizations, this means a vendor-neutral solution built and operated close to home, with data subject to EU law and stored in infrastructure Keepit owns and controls.

Combining identity expertise with recovery

Through the partnership, Cloudworks further strengthens its ability to help customers incorporate backup and recovery into a broader identity resilience strategy. Cloudworks’ consultants work across the identity lifecycle, from strategy and architecture to implementation, integrations, governance, and ongoing operations.

The partnership also extends beyond identity platforms. By protecting both identity configurations and data across business-critical SaaS applications, Keepit enables Cloudworks to help customers take a broader approach to operational resilience and data protection.

For Keepit, the partnership combines its technology with Cloudworks’ specialist IAM expertise and presence across the Nordic region.

Identity is an important part of cyber resilience, and Cloudworks brings deep expertise in exactly this area. Their experience across Entra ID, Okta, and complex identity environments, combined with their presence across the Nordic region, makes them a strong partner for helping organizations make backup and recovery an operational part of their identity strategy.

From strategy to daily operations

Cloudworks can support organizations throughout their Keepit journey, from identifying what needs to be protected and defining retention and recovery requirements to implementation, integrations, recovery testing, and ongoing management.

Customers can also purchase Keepit licenses through Cloudworks, bringing technology, consulting, and ongoing support together through one Nordic partner.

The partnership expands Cloudworks’ ability to help organizations secure, govern, and recover their identity environments while protecting critical data across their wider SaaS landscape.
