What each product does
Keeper sells a password manager and a PAM add-on. AIC CMMC Level 2 is the CMMC kit: privileged identity, access, and elevation plus CUI email and files, configuration compliance on connecting machines, training, and the Assessment Binder. Everyday personal passwords are not a CMMC control.
How AIC wins this deal
Order AIC CMMC Level 2 for CUI and privileged access. The vault covers privileged and CUI accounts. Connecting-machine scans and training write into the same binder. Start on AIC Privileged Access if you only need privileged access this year, then upgrade in place. Privileged access is a Level 2 fact.
Upgrade path. Start with Free, then Level 2 compliance tracking ($119 per month), Level 2 Essentials ($499 per month), Level 2 ($1,650 per month), and Level 3. Level 1 and AIC Privileged Access ($89 per privileged user per month; five-user minimum) can also upgrade in place to Level 2. Records carry over. Evidence from connecting machines, training and attestation, privileged sessions, Incident Response, and the Assessment Binder stays in one product. Session Recording is not included in Free, Tracking, Essentials, Level 1, or Level 2; it is included only in Level 3 with isolated Jump.
