Our Methodology

A proven, adaptable approach to securing privileged accounts at scale

Proven PAM Security Model

Over time, we've refined a proven PAM security model that is adaptable across industries, technologies, and maturity levels. Whether you're starting from scratch or optimizing an existing solution, our methodology enables us to deliver measurable results with any PAM tool, in any environment.

We begin by analyzing your security model, naming conventions, and access patterns. Then we apply the principle of least privilege—removing standing access where feasible and limiting it where removal isn't yet possible.

Program Maturity Evolution

As your program matures, our focus evolves:

1

Initial Focus

High-risk, low-effort accounts ("low-hanging fruit") with highest privileges to the most assets

2

Expanding Coverage

Accounts with high privileges and high connectivity or use rate

3

Comprehensive Protection

High-risk service accounts, application accounts, and local OS accounts

4

Advanced Automation

Custom password changers, onboard/offboard automation, RBAC automation, and account vaulting

Strategic Onboarding Priorities

1

High-Risk, Low-Effort Accounts

We start with onboarding high-risk, low-effort accounts (the "low-hanging fruit"), targeting accounts with the highest privileges to the most assets

2

High Privilege + High Connectivity

Then we look for accounts with high privileges and a high connectivity or use rate

3

Service & Application Accounts

Followed by high-risk service, and application accounts, and local OS accounts

4

Custom Solutions & Automation

Finally, we target service accounts, building custom password changers for complex or high-priority apps (including web platforms), and building custom automation such as onboard/offboard automation, RBAC automation within your IAM program, and account vaulting

This strategy allows us to help you secure high-value accounts, regardless of whether you're just beginning your PAM journey or are years into a mature program.
