Keepit, the vendor-independent SaaS data protection company helping organizations strengthen cyber resilience and business continuity, today announced it has been named a winner in the 2026 Stratus Awards for Cloud Computing, in the category of Backup/Disaster recovery/Resilience.
Recognition honors companies, products, and individuals pushing the boundaries of what cloud technology can do. Keepit was named winner for the second year in a row, with the launch of AI Truth Cloud in August 2026 positioning it as the verified, independent source of truth for data AI systems depend on.
The Stratus Awards celebrate the organizations and individuals defining the next phase of cloud computing, where success is measured by what a system delivers rather than where it happens to run. Winners are selected based on how effectively they are advancing cloud innovation, delivering measurable value, and moving their industries forward.
"For a decade, the cloud question was, 'Where does this run?' This year, every serious submission answered a different one: 'What does it do without us?'" said Russ Fordyce, Chief Recognition Officer, Business Intelligence Group. "Keepit earned this recognition in Backup/Disaster recovery/Resilience because it could say what its technology finished, not just what it promises. That is the standard the cloud is being held to now, and this is a team meeting it."
As AI agents take on business-critical decisions, AI Truth Cloud positions Keepit as the sovereign source of truth that enterprise AI can safely build on: data that is verifiable, governed, immutable, and proven.
"We are honored to be recognized in the 2026 Stratus Awards," said Michele Hayes, CMO at Keepit. "This award reflects the dedication of our team and the trust of the customers who depend on Keepit. AI Truth Cloud is something every organization needs to safely deploy AI: a complete, sovereign, immutable, and tamper-proof copy of an organization’s data — every version, across the protected application — stored in a vendor-independent cloud that no third party influences."
Keepit provides the trusted foundation AI runs on through a SaaS data protection platform purpose-built for the cloud. Securing data in a vendor-independent cloud safeguards essential business applications, boosts cyber resilience, and future-proofs data protection. Unique, separate, and immutable data storage with no third-party sub-processors supports compliance with local regulations and helps mitigate the impact of ransomware while ensuring continuous data access, business continuity, and effective disaster recovery.
