Keepit Named Champion in Canalys Managed BDR Leadership Matrix 2025
COPENHAGEN, Denmark--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Keepit, the world's only independent, cloud-native data protection, backup and recovery platform provider, today announced it's been named champion in the Canalys Managed BDR Leadership Matrix 2025. Since 2024, the Keepit Partner Network has been empowering channel partners through its leading SaaS backup and recovery solutions. Companies labeled 'Champions' in the Canalys Managed BDR Leadership Matrix 2025 demonstrate the highest levels of excellence in channel and technology capability over the previous 12 months compared with their industry peers, as rated by channel partners and Canalys analysts. 'Keepit's evolution to Champion in the Matrix has come as a result of its investment in the channel, geographical expansion, positive MSP feedback, and product advancements,' said Robin Ody, Principal Analyst at Canalys. 'In 2024, Keepit launched its Partner Network, appointed a new Chief Product Officer to oversee SaaS data protection, built relationships with cloud marketplace distributors, and expanded its global infrastructure. The company consistently provides high-value content for MSPs (Managed Service Providers) —including assets and webinars focused on cyber resiliency, cyber insurance, and compliance strategies—which are well received and impactful.' 'Our channel partners are facing challenges that demand secure and reliable backup and recovery solutions. Keepit's offering supports MSPs to expand their portfolios to include an intelligent backup solution that ensures cyber resilience and business continuity, while providing a local partner with global presence,' says Liz Barnhart, Vice President, Global Strategic Alliances at Keepit. Backup and disaster recovery are critical to MSP platform strategies In today's environment of growing ransomware threats, stricter regulations, rising cyber-insurance requirements, and increasingly complex SaaS stacks, backup and disaster recovery have become essential. MSPs are on the frontlines, and vendors that offer integrated backup solutions are better positioned to build strong MSP platform plays—especially when complementing cybersecurity and remote monitoring and management (RMM) offerings. The Keepit Partner Network supports MSPs' growth Launched in January 2024, the Keepit Partner Network reflects Keepit's deep commitment to empowering resellers, MSPs, and distributors through a 'partner first' strategy. Now active across the Americas, EMEA, and ANZ, the program is designed to help MSPs drive business growth, increase gross profit, and expand service portfolios with offerings focused on cyber readiness, data recovery, regulatory compliance (including NIS2, DORA and GDPR), and more. Keepit's unique, vendor-independent architecture—driven by fully self-managed software and infrastructure, with no sub-processors—continues to be in high demand among both partners and customers. By storing data in local data centers across the Americas, Europe, the UK, and Australia, Keepit enables customers to meet data sovereignty requirements within their regulatory region—independently of Privacy Shield agreements.

Keepit and Leading B2B Platform Company Ingram Micro Announce Strategic Go-to-Market Relationship in the UK
COPENHAGEN, Denmark--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Keepit has teamed with Ingram Micro, a leading business-to-business platform company for the global technology ecosystem, to expand access to Keepit's vendor-independent cloud solution for data backup and recovery for value-added resellers (VARs), managed service providers (MSPs), and managed security service partners (MSSPs) in the UK. The agreement will also help strengthen Keepit's position in the UK market as a premium global provider of SaaS data protection solutions and services.

Ingram Micro, which has the ability to reach nearly 90% of the global population, will assist in marketing, selling, and supporting the Keepit portfolio while enhancing flexibility in purchasing and financing solutions that incorporate Keepit's SaaS data protection services.

Intelligent Data Governance: Guiding CISOs and CIOs Toward Cyber Resilience Through Data Governance Strategies
Keepit report highlights importance of data governance in the age of AI and cyberthreats. COPENHAGEN, Denmark, March 05, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Keepit, the world's only independent, cloud-native data protection and backup provider, today announced the publication of its new report: "Intelligent data governance: Why taking control of your data is key for operational continuity and innovation." The report covers the foundational importance of data control in the age of AI, with a focus on ensuring modern enterprises cyber resilience and compliance. "Data is the foundation of innovation and preparedness. By focusing on data governance, CISOs and CIOs will lay the groundwork to effectively manage and grow their modern, data-driven enterprises. We hope our new report, with its practical approach to data governance, will give needed insights into data, its importance, and the crucial role intelligent data governance can play in today's cybersecurity landscape," says Kim Larsen, CISO at Keepit. Data governance as a response to major IT trends Keepit recently interviewed 30 senior IT leaders across a range of industries and regions. These in-depth conversations revealed a number of trends that serve as context for today's enterprise IT organizations, including cloud flexibility, the rise of AI, and ever-increasing budget pressures. Based on the results, CIOs and CISOs will play increasingly crucial roles in enabling enterprises to ensure resilience and will need to prioritize their efforts to outfit their organizations with tools to lay a sustainable foundation for business continuity. For these IT decision-makers, data control will be a prerequisite to achieving this goal. "Data governance paves the way for data resilience. Through data classification, companies will be able to detect any gaps in their business continuity plans, and, as an added benefit, enhance their current day-to-day operations," adds Kim Larsen. A cornerstone of compliance The new report finds that data governance is a key tool when striving to stay compliant as regulations such as NIS2, DORA, and GDPR are impacting organizations. "Data governance is the cornerstone of compliance. Knowing where your data is, what data is crucial for business operations, and who has access to it are all questions modern organizations need to answer to be cyber resilient," says Kim Larsen. Building resilience against data loss and corruption The new report finds that CIOs and CISOs are ultimately accountable for ensuring data resilience so that users, applications, and other entities can access company data as needed. The three primary components of resilience are prevention, detection and recovery. "A data loss or outage incident can stop an organization in its tracks. Our report highlights that the ability to recover critical systems should never be left to assumptions or chance. Backup and recovery preparedness should be a board-level consideration at every company," adds Kim Larsen.
