Case Study: a food distributor secures credentials with Keeper Security

Food Distributor secures 200+ credentials with Keeper

The customer, a food distributor serving retail chains across Central and Eastern Europe, faced a significant challenge in securing credentials across its 300+ employees and multiple partner systems. Its lean IT team was managing passwords in unsecured Excel files on shared drives, leading to a lack of access controls, an audit trail, and oversight. They needed a simple, secure platform to centralize credentials and improve password hygiene, which led them to the vendor Keeper Security and its Keeper Password Manager product.

Keeper Security provided a solution by replacing the insecure Excel files with encrypted vaults and shared folders that use role-based access control. The implementation was easy and expanded gradually without a formal project. The results included gaining a centralized, auditable system for all credentials, with Keeper's BreachWatch feature automatically flagging weak passwords. The IT team now has a clear overview and a single source of truth for all necessary passwords, eliminating issues when employees are unavailable and significantly reducing security risks.
