Privileged Access Management
Staff never hold permanent administrative access to their own devices. When elevated permissions are needed for a specific task, they request them and those permissions expire automatically, reducing the risk that a compromised account gives an attacker unrestricted control.
What this service includes
The items below reflect what is covered under this service as part of a managed engagement.
- Staff work with standard user permissions by default, limiting what an attacker can do if an account is compromised.
- When elevated access is needed for a specific task, staff request it directly from their device with a single action.
- Permissions are granted for a defined task and a limited time only, expiring automatically when no longer needed.
- Routine tasks that are always approved can be pre-authorized so staff are not interrupted unnecessarily for common activities.
- Software installations go through a controlled approval process, so staff can get what they need without holding broad administrative rights.
- Every elevation request, approval, and action taken under elevated permissions is logged, creating a full audit trail.
- Reports on elevation activity are available for security reviews or compliance purposes.
