Privileged access and secrets
Vault the secrets, organise rotation and secure usage without breaking dependencies.
Access and privileges
Govern service accounts and secrets
Take back control of legacy technical identities: their owners, their secrets and their privileges.
This is about legacy technical accounts: batch jobs, Windows and Linux services, scripts, infrastructure tasks and old integrations. They are not AI agents, and they are not governed the same way.
Does this sound familiar?
- Nobody knows who owns the account any more.
- The password has not changed in years.
- Several services share the same account.
- Privileges are permanent and far wider than needed.
- Application dependencies make any rotation risky.
- The account stays active although its use is no longer certain.
What you are trying to achieve
- Inventory the accounts and how they are used.
- Identify owners and dependencies.
- Reduce privileges.
- Protect and rotate secrets.
- Split identities where it is needed.
- Organise their lifecycle and reviews.
The Ariovis capabilities involved
Each offer keeps its own role. Here is exactly what it brings to this situation.
Identity governance
Attach every technical account to an owner, a documented purpose and a periodic review.
Identity and Active Directory security
Spot over-privileged technical accounts and the delegations they accumulated in the directory.
IAM managed services
Keep the inventory and rotations alive over time when the internal team cannot absorb them.
Where to start
Build a prioritised inventory linking each account to its owner, its purpose, its dependencies and its risk level.
- 01Extract technical accounts from the directories and platforms in scope.
- 02Trace the real usage: services, scheduled tasks, scripts, integrations.
- 03Confront each account with an identifiable owner.
- 04Rank by risk: privileges, secret age, sharing, criticality.
A Practical Starting Point
A short format, already online, to get an objective view of your situation before committing to a project.
- PAM

Helps assess how well technical accounts and secrets are actually controlled before committing to a project.
See It in Practice
Real engagements whose approach sheds light on this situation.
Sector : Construction
Evolving an existing PAM program
A construction-sector organization wanted a clearer view of its actual PAM coverage and a prioritized path for future improvements.
Illustrates a comparable approach: building on a partial existing programme rather than starting from scratch.
Sector : Transportation
Bring momentum back to a PAM program
A transportation organization needed to rebuild the foundations of its PAM program, clarify its model and industrialize application onboarding.
Offers useful feedback on restarting a stalled privileged-access scope.
