Privileged Access Management (PAM)
Fortify identity security. Reign in privileged account access, roles, and responsibilities across users.
Treat elevated access with the nuanced security it deserves
Super users in your organisation have collective edit rights across the breadth of your resources and infrastructure. Tesserent is your partner for architecting and implementing strong Privileged Access Management (PAM), to limit the likelihood and impact of account abuse, mistakes, and hijacking – for a safer hybrid environment.
How we can assist:
Privileged access requires strict management solutions that don’t compromise on usability. We’re experienced in developing secure, tailored PAM solutions across complex hybrid environments.
Understand the nuances of your privileged users and environments
Develop different strategies for different apps, environments, infrastructure, and data sources, based on use-cases
Develop strong management policies for privileged roles
Deploy better MFA and just-in-time access methods
Ensure detailed logging of privileged accounts
Create a more secure environment with excellent identity management
Whether you have hundreds of all-access privileged accounts that need auditing or you’re looking to configure access on a new cloud environment, we are here to help.
Ours is a four-phase process:

What is Privileged Access Management?
Privileged Access Management is the practice of managing user accounts that hold elevated permissions; the administrators of your organisation. These users hold the keys to your systems, applications, data and networks. With great power comes great responsibility: a rogue admin or compromised privileged user account can wreak serious damage across your organisational environments.
PAM delivers a higher level of Identity Access Management (IAM) to the most critical users in your organisation. This includes increased levels of authorisation and authentication, segmentation of duties and environments, and visibility of super users, access, and logs across all systems.
Why is PAM important?
PAM solutions can:
Reduce the risk of catastrophic events within your environments
Provide a single-pane-of-glass solution for visibility of privileged accounts across systems
Ensure no unintended users have access to sensitive resources
Separate administrator access to resources, based on role and requirements
Elevate user permissions just in time, for reduced errors
Log all administrator actions, for enabling access reviews or digital forensics
Ensure compliance with standards such as ISO 27001
What is a PAM Review?
Our PAM Review will identify and examine all privileged accounts across your systems, including their resource access, permissions, and authentication methods.
Our PAM review may include:
Assessment of current PAM controls, account usage, and logging techniques
PAM lifecycle review (onboarding, offboarding, role switching)
Role-based access control (RBAC) and just-in-time elevation of privileges review
Identification of opportunities to reduce manual approval actions
User experience review
Authentication methodology review
Data security controls and user policies review
Developing a PAM Strategy and Architecture
Our PAM Strategy and Architecture will go deep into developing the different types of privileged accounts and their role-based controls. Here, we will outline strategies for limiting use, MFA techniques, logging strategies and PAM dashboarding. We work with your current IAM solutions including Delinea, Beyond Trust, EntraID PIM, CyberArk, AWS Temporary Elevated Access Manager, and more, including licensing optimisation to deliver real value on investment.
PAM Implementation and Uplift
During PAM Implementation and Uplift, we enhance existing or securely configure new identity solutions for privileged accounts. This will include control configuration, technical remediations, and lifecycle automations developed during the strategy phase. Testing and deployment includes ensuring high levels of usability and security across all working environments.
PAM Managed Services
Administrator access is an ongoing process. Rather than leave it up to your admins to delegate their own responsibilities, you can choose Tesserent as a PAM Managed Service provider. We can respond to admin requests, deliver user lifecycle management changes, perform periodic reviews, update controls to new compliance standards, and more.
