Access and privileges
Reduce standing privileges
Replace permanent administrative rights with proportionate, temporary and traceable access.
Secure privileged access with a pragmatic approach.
Privileged accounts represent some of the most critical risks within an information system.
Administrator accounts, service accounts, technical secrets and infrastructure access all require protection that matches their level of sensitivity.
Privileged Access Management is more than deploying a bastion. It combines clear governance, reduced standing privileges, protected secrets and seamless integration with the rest of the IAM architecture.

Assess your PAM maturity for free and generate your roadmap
Answer a few questions to measure your privileged access management maturity and get a tailored roadmap for your PAM project.
Not every privileged account carries the same level of risk, but every one deserves appropriate governance.
Administrative rights, technical accounts, application secrets and infrastructure access typically accumulate over time.
Privileges often become permanent even though they should remain temporary.
Service accounts are not always fully identified.
Protection mechanisms frequently differ across environments.
The objective is to build a consistent strategy that reduces unnecessary privileges, protects sensitive access and improves traceability without making operations unnecessarily complex.
Build a consistent privileged access strategy
PAM assessment
Evaluate the maturity of the current environment and identify improvement priorities.
Privileged account governance
Define governance rules for administrator and other sensitive accounts.
Least privilege
Reduce standing privileges and grant only the permissions required for each task.
Privilege elevation
Provide temporary privileged access when operational activities require it.
Secrets management
Protect passwords, application secrets and other sensitive credentials.
Service accounts
Identify, secure and manage technical accounts throughout their lifecycle.
Traceability
Produce administrative logs and audit evidence whenever appropriate.
IAM integration
Integrate PAM with Identity Governance, Access Management and directory services.

What improves for operational teams and the organization
Better privileged access control
Sensitive rights are granted in a more consistent and controlled way.
Greater visibility
Privileged accounts and secrets become easier to identify and manage.
Stronger security
Critical administrative access receives protection proportional to its level of risk.
Easier operations
Operational teams manage a clearer and more maintainable environment.
Improved traceability
Sensitive administrative activities can be monitored and audited more effectively.
A stronger IAM architecture
PAM naturally complements Identity Governance, Access Management and authorization.
Helping an existing PAM program evolve
Construction industry
A large organization already operated a Privileged Access Management platform but wanted a clearer understanding of its actual coverage, privileged account governance and future priorities.
Ariovis performed an organizational assessment, reviewed the privileged account model, analyzed privileged account lifecycle management and evaluated how the existing platform was being used.
The engagement helped prioritize improvements, distinguish valuable security mechanisms from unnecessary complexity and define a realistic roadmap for the evolution of the PAM strategy.
PAM delivers its full value as part of the IAM architecture.
IAM Strategy and Zero Trust
Define the roadmap before selecting technologies.
Identity Governance
Provide trusted identities and governed access rights.
Access Management
Control authentication and user access journeys.
Fine-grained Authorization
Make runtime authorization decisions based on context.
Privileged Access Management delivers the greatest value when identity governance, authentication, privileged access and authorization work together as one consistent identity architecture.

Access and privileges
Govern service accounts and secrets
Take back control of legacy technical identities: their owners, their secrets and their privileges.
AI and automation
Secure AI agents
Give AI agents autonomy without losing control over their identities, their tools, their data and what they actually do.
Every organization already has its own way of managing privileged access.
The first conversation helps identify the existing mechanisms, the most important security priorities and the improvements that will deliver the greatest operational value.
