Privileged Access Management

Six PAM platforms. One delivery team. We advise on selection, implement, migrate between platforms and run them for you.

The problem

What we see in the field

Shared admin accounts, hard-coded service credentials and standing privilege give attackers the fastest path to your crown jewels. PAM programmes stall on unclear ownership, missing asset inventories, custom connectors and change resistance.

Why it matters

The business case

Privileged credentials feature in a large share of serious breaches. Controlling what privileged identities can do — vaulted, time-boxed, recorded and reviewed — is the single highest-leverage control a CISO can evidence.

Capabilities

  • Upgrades & version migrationKeep platforms current to use enhanced features.
  • Vendor evaluation & selectionIndependent support choosing the right platform.
  • Managed PAM operationsReduce in-house overhead with outsourced 24x7 PAM management.
  • Training & enablementOnboarding, administrator enablement and end-user awareness.

Capabilities across the PAM lifecycle

From discovery to steady-state managed operations

01 Discover

  • Gather list of in-scope applications
  • Identify stakeholders and application administrators
  • Discover privileged identities through owner interviews, identity-system data mining and environment scanning
  • Plan and prioritise the PAM implementation

02 Design & Develop

  • Build a use-case framework for privileged accounts, access control and password management
  • Map specific use cases to the framework
  • Configure the account management structure
  • Enforce password complexity rules reliably

03 Implement

  • Deploy the PAM solution
  • On-board privileged accounts
  • Test the PAM solution
  • Document and enforce processes and policies
  • Educate end users and administrators

04 Maintain & Enhance

  • Monitor account usage in PAM
  • Return-to-service processes for critical issues
  • Develop process automation
  • Threat analytics: analyse events using risk indicators and trend them over time

Value proposition

End-to-end PAM, from strategy to steady state

With years of experience implementing and managing PAM programmes across medium and large enterprises in India, APAC, EMEA and North America, we deliver the full programme — not a single phase of it.

  1. 01Recommend a strategy and roadmap for implementing PAM
  2. 02Assess the current state of shared privileged accounts
  3. 03Design, develop and implement the entire PAM programme
  4. 04Ensure the solution is leveraged to its maximum potential
  5. 05Define PAM practices, processes and operating standards
  6. 06Provide training, on-boarding and end-user awareness
  7. 07Support vendor evaluation and selection
  8. 08Reduce in-house overhead with outsourced PAM management
  9. 09Drive continuous improvement of the PAM programme

Planned for from day one

What slows PAM programmes — and how we mitigate it

Organisational governance

No reliable asset source of truth, unclear ownership and prioritisation, stakeholder buy-in.

Technology

Product gaps, custom connectors, third-party integrations, shared AD groups and limited segmentation.

Resource & people

Limited admin capacity, resistance to change and concern that work becomes harder.

Implementation process

Obsolete tooling, delayed test environments, poor documentation and misconfigured incumbent tools.

Delivery approach

How we deliver

  1. 01DiscoverIn-scope applications, stakeholders and privileged identities
  2. 02Design & developUse-case framework, account structure and password policy
  3. 03ImplementDeploy, onboard, test and document the PAM solution
  4. 04Maintain & enhanceMonitor usage, automate processes and trend threat analytics

Outcomes

What changes for you

  • Every privileged account discovered, owned and vaulted
  • Privileged account onboarding measured in hours, not weeks
  • Faster detection of privileged misuse
  • The solution used to its maximum potential
  • Continuous improvement rather than a one-off project
