Identity and Privileged Access Management
What should identity and privileged access management control?
Identity and privileged access management should control who can access each resource, under which conditions, with what privilege and with what evidence of review.
Identity and privileged access management. Controls for least privilege, lifecycle governance, privileged sessions and auditable access decisions.
Identity is the control plane
Security decisions increasingly depend on identity, device, application and context. The operating model must cover joiner, mover and leaver events, privileged access, service accounts, authentication strength and periodic review.
Capabilities to evaluate
- Central identity lifecycle and role governance.
- Least-privilege access to applications and infrastructure.
- Privileged elevation, approval and session evidence.
- Multi-factor authentication and adaptive policy.
- Access reviews, separation of duties and reporting.
Implementation priorities
Start with critical applications, administrators and service accounts. Define owners, approval boundaries, emergency access, evidence retention and a rollback path for policy changes.
Start a technical evaluation
Request an architecture conversation through the demo page. Define identities, resources, roles, privileged workflows and acceptance metrics.
Control criteria: validate lifecycle, least privilege, MFA, privileged approvals and access-review evidence before production enforcement.
