Add Keepit, Guardz and NAKIVO to your stack — through one distributor.
CRS is the ANZ and Pacific distributor for enterprise-grade SaaS backup, SMB cybersecurity, and VM backup DR. Tiered MSP pricing, local technical support, and no hyperscaler lock-in.
Your clients need SMB1001. You need the right tools to deliver it.
Australia’s SMB1001 framework requires backup, recovery, threat monitoring, dark web protection, and phishing controls at every tier from Bronze upward. CRS gives you two products that map directly to those requirements — plus a VM backup solution for the infrastructure underneath.
- Keepit — immutable SaaS backup satisfies backup and data integrity controls at every SMB1001 tier.
- Guardz — automated security posture, dark web monitoring, and phishing simulation covers threat detection requirements from Bronze to Gold.
- NAKIVO — VM and cloud workload backup DR for the on-premises or hybrid infrastructure your clients run underneath their SaaS stack.
SMB1001 Controls Covered
Applies to SMB1001 Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Diamond tiers.
Three products. One distributor relationship.
Each product addresses a different layer of your clients’ infrastructure. Together they cover SaaS data, endpoint and identity security, and on-premises VM workloads.

Why partner through CRS?
Most global vendors have limited presence and limited patience for ANZ and Pacific markets. CRS has been working in this region for over 15 years. We know the buying cycles, the compliance landscape, and the partners. When a deal needs pre-sales support, technical depth, or regional context, we can provide it — because we’re here.
Tiered, volume-based pricing
Margins improve as your book of business grows. Predictable pricing means predictable margins — no surprise invoices.
One relationship, multiple vendors
Fewer contracts, fewer portals, fewer calls. Keepit, Guardz, and NAKIVO — all through CRS.
Local technical pre-sales support
Nicholas Gee has 15+ years of DR architecture experience. Technical questions get answered by someone who has built production DR environments — not a ticketing system.
ANZ & Pacific coverage
If you operate in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, PNG, or the Pacific islands, CRS knows your market. Data sovereignty, local compliance, and Pacific-specific deal structures are part of what we do.
Purpose-built MSP tooling
CRS partners get access to the Keepit Channel Meter (KCM) — a CRS-built portal for real-time billing, usage, and backup status monitoring across all your Keepit tenants. Not available outside the CRS channel.
