How do we get started?

To get started, you’ll need access to machine data, a server, and a Microsoft Entra environment (Azure AD) for authentication and access control.

Users sign in with their Microsoft accounts, and you manage access through your existing roles and security settings. Your data is handled in accordance with Microsoft’s security and privacy standards.

We support you through the entire process, from initial setup to everyday use.

Is Keep secure?

Yes. Keep uses:

Modern security protocols and encryption.
Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) for login and access control.
Secure cloud storage, with the option for a local backup solution if needed.

You always have control over who has access to what, and you own your own data.

Does Keep require machine connectivity?

No. Keep can be used entirely without connecting to a machine. You still get:

Full overview of programs and tools.
Documented history and experience.
A user-friendly interface for both mobile and desktop.

Direct program transfer is available where the machine supports it, but it’s optional.

How much does Keep cost?

Keep has a simple pricing model:

Fixed monthly price per machine resource.
