Solutions / Privileged Access Management

Control the accounts attackers want most
Control the accounts attackers want most
Privileged accounts are the target in almost every serious breach. We design and run PAM programmes on Idira Self-Hosted and Privilege Cloud that bring those accounts under management and keep them there.
The components, and what we do with them
Hardened, isolated credential store with its own OS baseline, firewall and proprietary protocol. Clustered or DR-paired for continuity.
- Cluster Vault or DR Vault with PAReplicate
- Vault hardening and network isolation
- Safe design by ownership and sensitivity
- Master and DR key handling procedures
Rotates, verifies and reconciles credentials on schedule or on event across every platform type, with dependency-aware change for service accounts.
- Platform policies and exception handling
- Reconcile with reconciliation accounts
- Dual-account and dependency rotation
- Custom plugins for unsupported targets
Portal and REST API for requests, approvals, connections and administration; SSO and MFA in front of every privileged action.
- SAML / OIDC SSO with step-up MFA
- Dual control and exclusive access
- REST API automation and PACLI
- Load-balanced, hardened IIS
Isolates and records RDP, SSH, database and web sessions so the credential never touches the endpoint; PSMP for native SSH, HTML5 Gateway for browser-only access.
- Session recording, keystroke and SQL audit
- Live monitoring and termination
- Universal and custom connection components
- HTML5 Gateway for clientless access
Baselines privileged behaviour and raises risk on anomalies — unmanaged access, suspicious commands, Kerberos attacks — with automatic response into the vault.
- Unmanaged privileged access detection
- Golden ticket and pass-the-hash indicators
- Auto-suspend and credential rotation on risk
- SIEM forwarding and correlation
VPN-less, agent-less privileged access for vendors and contractors through the platform, time-bound, approved and fully recorded.
- Biometric mobile authentication
- Zero-standing vendor accounts
- Recorded, isolated sessions
- Automatic revocation on expiry
Topology
- Primary, DR and satellite vaults
- Component HA behind load balancers
- Segmented networks and firewall rules
- Privilege Cloud: connector servers + Secure Tunnel
Integrations
- Active Directory and Entra ID for auth and directory mapping
- SIEM — Splunk, Sentinel (syslog / CEF)
- ITSM — ServiceNow ticket validation on request
- MFA — Idira Identity, RADIUS, SAML providers
Operations
- Discovery-led onboarding waves by account owner
- Break-glass and emergency procedures
- Backup, restore and DR failover testing
- Version currency inside vendor support
Capabilities
How we approach privileged access management
Most PAM estates we inherit are somewhere between forty and sixty percent onboarded, with the remainder living in spreadsheets and shared mailboxes. The gap is rarely a tooling problem. It is a discovery, ownership and change-management problem, and that is where a specialist practice earns its fee.
Where we start
A short assessment establishes what is actually under management, what is not, and why. The output is a prioritised onboarding plan and the platform changes needed to support it.
Ready to reduce identity risk?
If privileged access is hard to explain or credentials are hard to control, your organisation is exposed. That risk can be reduced with the right design and hands-on delivery.
These principles guide every engagement
They define how we design, deliver and operate identity security for our customers.
Certified, not just familiar
Guardian-led, with CDE credentials across PAM, Privilege Cloud, EPM and Secrets Manager, kept current on every release.
Architect-led delivery
Design is reviewed and signed off before anything is built, so what goes live is what was agreed.
Written scope, fixed price
Deliverables, timeline and price in writing before work starts. No open-ended retainers.
Enablement built in
Your team is trained during delivery, so what we build does not depend on us to keep running.
