Privileged Access
Management Done Right
Eliminate standing privileges, secure credential sprawl, and achieve full visibility over every privileged session — from cloud consoles to database admin accounts.
We don't just deploy vaults — we build operational PAM programmes with discovery, onboarding, rotation, session management, and team enablement.
Platforms We Deploy & Manage

AWS / Azure / GCP Native PAM
Cloud-native privileged access — AWS IAM Identity Center, Azure PIM, and GCP IAM Conditions for just-in-time elevation.
CyberArk Conjur / Akeyless
Secrets management for CI/CD pipelines, containers, and cloud workloads with dynamic credential injection.
The Plaidnox Difference
Why Enablement Matters as Much as the Technology
Vaults are deployed but only a fraction of privileged accounts are actually onboarded
Service account passwords are vaulted but rotation is disabled because nobody tested it
Session recording is enabled but nobody reviews the recordings or correlates alerts
Break-glass procedures are documented but never tested under realistic conditions
Most PAM deployments stall after initial deployment because the operational processes around onboarding, rotation, and session management are never properly established.
Building operational onboarding pipelines that scale to thousands of accounts
Testing rotation for every account type — not just vaulting and hoping it works
Training your team to onboard accounts, troubleshoot rotation failures, and review sessions
Establishing continuous discovery so new privileged accounts are caught as they are created
The result is a PAM programme that achieves full coverage because your team has the processes, skills, and runbooks to onboard every account — not just the easy ones.
What We Deploy
PAM Capabilities
From credential vaulting to secrets management — complete privileged access enablement.
Privileged Session Management
We deploy and configure session isolation, real-time monitoring, and complete recording of every privileged session — RDP, SSH, database, and cloud console. Sessions are proxied through the PAM platform so credentials never touch the endpoint, and every keystroke, command, and screen interaction is recorded for forensic and compliance purposes. Session managers can monitor live sessions in real-time and terminate suspicious activity instantly. Recordings are indexed, searchable, and stored with tamper-proof audit trails.
Credential Vaulting & Rotation
Credentials for privileged accounts, service accounts, application accounts, and secrets are stored in encrypted vaults with automated rotation on configurable schedules. Passwords are rotated after every use, or on a scheduled cadence, and are never exposed to the end user — they are injected directly into sessions by the PAM platform. Rotation verification ensures that password changes actually succeed and that no account is left with a stale credential that could cause service outages.
Privileged Account Discovery
Before you can secure privileged access, you need to find it. We run comprehensive discovery scans across Windows, Linux, Unix, databases, cloud platforms, network devices, and SaaS applications to identify every privileged account — including service accounts, local admins, database admins, cloud IAM roles, and shared accounts. Discovery results are mapped to owners, applications, and risk levels so onboarding can be prioritised by exposure.
Least Privilege & Just-In-Time Access
Standing privileged access is replaced with just-in-time (JIT) elevation workflows that grant time-limited access with approval chains, business justification, and automatic revocation. Endpoint privilege management removes local admin rights and replaces them with application-level elevation rules so users can perform necessary tasks without permanent admin access. The result is a dramatic reduction in your attack surface — credentials that don't exist can't be stolen.
Threat Analytics & Behavioural Detection
AI-powered behavioural analysis monitors privileged sessions for anomalous activity — unusual command patterns, off-hours access, impossible travel, and deviation from normal behaviour baselines. Alerts are integrated with your SIEM and SOC for investigation and response. Threat analytics provides a continuous risk score for every privileged identity, enabling risk-based access decisions and proactive threat hunting across your privileged access landscape.
Multi-Platform & Secrets Management
Full coverage across Windows, Linux, Unix, databases, network devices, cloud consoles, SaaS applications, and DevOps tooling. For cloud-native and DevOps environments, we deploy secrets management solutions — HashiCorp Vault, CyberArk Conjur, or Akeyless — that inject dynamic credentials into CI/CD pipelines, containers, and serverless functions. Application hard-coded credentials are vaulted and replaced with API-based credential retrieval to eliminate static secrets sprawl.
Our Approach
PAM Deployment & Enablement
From discovery to managed operations — PAM programmes that achieve full coverage.
Discovery & Risk Assessment
Comprehensive audit of all privileged accounts, service accounts, shared credentials, and access paths across your infrastructure. We scan on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments to identify every privileged identity — including accounts nobody knew existed. Discovery results are mapped to applications, owners, and risk levels. A prioritised findings report is delivered with a risk-based onboarding roadmap so the most critical accounts are secured first.
Architecture & Platform Design
We design the PAM architecture — CyberArk, BeyondTrust, Delinea, or cloud-native solutions — aligned to your environment, compliance requirements, and operational maturity. Architecture decisions cover vault topology, session manager placement, connector requirements, HA/DR strategy, and integration points with your SIEM, IAM, ITSM, and MFA platforms. Every design decision is documented and reviewed with your team.
Deployment & Configuration
Vaults, session managers, connectors, and agents are deployed in production environments. Password policies, rotation schedules, access workflows, approval chains, and session recording rules are configured and validated. Safe structures are designed to organise accounts by business unit, application, and risk level. The deployment is tested with pilot accounts before full rollout to verify connectivity, rotation, and session management.
Account Onboarding & Integration
Privileged accounts are onboarded in phased waves — prioritised by risk. Service accounts, admin accounts, database credentials, cloud IAM keys, and application secrets are vaulted with verified rotation. The PAM platform is integrated with your SIEM for log forwarding, your identity platform for authentication, your ITSM for workflow approvals, and your SOC for alert routing. Every integration is tested end-to-end.
Managed Operations & Continuous Improvement
Ongoing account onboarding, rotation monitoring, session audit reviews, and policy tuning ensure your PAM programme stays current as your environment evolves. We provide monthly privileged access reports, quarterly access reviews, and continuous discovery to catch new privileged accounts as they are created. The goal is a PAM programme your team can operate confidently — not one that requires permanent external support.
