Make elevated access an accountable decision.

When privilege is broader than the task requires

Administrative access spans human users, service accounts and emergency arrangements. These use cases need different decisions. We help establish their purpose, ownership and dependencies before proposing changes to access or introducing a new workflow.

Understand the privileged estate

Identify privileged identities, administrative roles, system owners and operational dependencies. Separate everyday administration, third-party support, non-human accounts and emergency access.

Define the access journey

Specify request and approval routes, additional authentication, elevation duration and activity evidence where appropriate. Include the path for failed requests and urgent operational needs.

Plan controlled implementation

Agree pilot use cases, testing and support responsibilities. Validate expiry, revocation and emergency procedures with operational owners before expanding the scope.

Typical deliverables

  • Privileged-access use-case and requirements catalogue
  • Approval, elevation and exception workflows
  • Pilot acceptance criteria and test scenarios
  • Ownership, operating procedures and handover records

Deliverables are tailored to the stage of your programme and the responsibilities you need us to take on. We can work alongside internal teams and existing delivery partners.

Questions about this service

Is all privileged access time limited?

The access model depends on the task, account type and operational constraints. We assess time-limited elevation alongside other controls rather than assume one workflow fits every privileged identity.

Can you support Microsoft Entra PIM work?

Yes. We can support requirements, access-governance processes and delivery planning for Microsoft Entra privileged identity management. Platform configuration scope and responsibilities are agreed during discovery.
