See your privileged attack surface in 30 seconds.

Most ransomware traces back to one over-privileged account. Move the sliders to estimate your standing privilege, ransomware blast radius, and the specific compliance controls you are likely failing.

Estimates use industry averages (Sophos, IBM Cost of a Data Breach). A formal discovery is required for engineering recommendations.

Compliance mapping

Every PAM capability, mapped to a real control

Pick a framework. See the exact control PAM satisfies, how it satisfies it, and the evidence we produce for your auditor.

Federal control catalog used by NIST CSF 2.0 and FedRAMP.

  • AC-2 · Account Management
    Requirement
    Establish, activate, modify, disable, and remove accounts on a defined lifecycle.
    How PAM satisfies
    Automated discovery of privileged accounts, role-based provisioning workflows, and scheduled attestation reviews for every vaulted identity.
    Evidence
    Quarterly access review reports with named reviewer and timestamp.
  • AC-6 · Least Privilege
    Requirement
    Grant only the access required to perform assigned duties.
    How PAM satisfies
    Removal of standing local-admin rights, replacement with just-in-time role elevation bound to a ticket and duration.
    Evidence
    JIT elevation logs showing requester, approver, scope, and auto-expiry.
  • AC-6(5) · Privileged Accounts
    Requirement
    Restrict privileged account use to authorized personnel.
    How PAM satisfies
    All privileged sessions proxied through the PAM broker with MFA and named-human attribution.
    Evidence
    Vault access reports mapped to HR roster.
  • AU-12 · Audit Record Generation
    Requirement
    Generate audit records for events defined in AU-2 across all system components.
    How PAM satisfies
    Session recording with keystroke, command, and video capture for every privileged action.
    Evidence
    Immutable session recordings retained for the audit window.
  • IA-5 · Authenticator Management
    Requirement
    Manage authenticators including complexity, rotation, and protection.
    How PAM satisfies
    Automatic secret rotation on every checkout, encrypted vault storage, and elimination of shared passwords.
    Evidence
    Rotation history logs per credential.
Attack path

Standing privilege vs. just-in-time, same environment

Toggle between the two states of the same fictional network. Watch what the attacker can and cannot reach.

Same environment, same attacker. The only variable is whether privileged accounts sit dormant with standing rights or elevate through the broker on demand.

Capabilities

Inside the managed PAM program

Vault every privileged credential

Discover, classify, and centralize human and machine secrets. Local admins, domain admins, service accounts, API keys, SSH keys, and cloud root accounts.

NIST IA-5CIS 5.1PCI 8.6

Just-in-time, not standing

Replace 24/7 admin rights with time-bound, ticket-bound elevation. Approvals integrate with your ticketing system or Microsoft Teams.

NIST AC-6CIS 5.4CMMC AC.L2-3.1.5

Session brokering and recording

Every privileged session is proxied, recorded, and tied to a named human. Auditors get evidence. Attackers get no place to hide.

NIST AU-12PCI 10.2HIPAA §164.312(b)

Vendor and third-party access

Brokered, time-limited vendor access with no shared accounts and no permanent VPNs. Revoked the moment the work is done.
