Privileged accounts are the keys to the kingdom
Privileged Access Management (PAM) is the foundation of Zero Trust — from strategy to deployment.
Admin accounts, service accounts, root access — these are target #1 for attackers. Without control over privileged access, compliance is fiction, and regulatory audits end in findings. We drive PAM projects from scratch: strategy, technology selection (CyberArk, BeyondTrust, Delinea), implementation, IAM integration. Lead consultant: expert with 15+ years of PAM expertise, dozens of deployments in banks and corporations.
Every organization has privileged accounts: system administrators, service accounts, database access, application certificates. These are the “crown jewels” of IT and OT infrastructure — whoever controls these accounts controls everything.
Without Privileged Access Management (PAM), an organization is exposed to:
- Lateral movement post-compromise — attacker with one admin account takes over the entire network
- Lack of auditability — you don’t know who, when, or why used admin privileges
- Compliance violations — ISO 27001, NIS-2, DORA, PCI DSS require privileged access controls
We drive end-to-end PAM projects in three phases:
Phase 1: Strategy & Discovery (4-6 weeks) Identify privileged accounts in IT and OT environments, map risks, define business and compliance requirements. Recommend technology (CyberArk, BeyondTrust, Delinea, Thycotic) and deployment roadmap.
Phase 2: Core Implementation (8-12 weeks) Deploy PAM platform, onboard critical systems (AD, Unix/Linux, databases), integrate with IAM/SIEM, configure password rotation policies and session recording. Pilot with selected users.
Phase 3: Rollout & Operationalization (6-12 weeks) Scale to the entire organization, train administrators, document processes, transfer knowledge to internal team. Post-implementation support.
Lead Consultant: expert with 15+ years of PAM experience, dozens of implementations for banks, insurers, telecoms, and industry. Technical advisor for solution selection, implementation lead, configuration auditor.
Benefits
- Block lateral movement — attackers can’t take over the entire network after compromising one account
- Full auditability — every use of admin privileges is logged, including session recordings
- Compliance out-of-the-box — meets ISO 27001, NIS-2, DORA, PCI DSS requirements
- Automated password rotation — no static passwords for service accounts, zero “admin/admin”
- Experienced implementer — 15+ years PAM at EY, dozens of projects in banks and corporations
For Whom
- Regulated companies — banks, insurers, telecoms (NIS-2, DORA, KNF, UKNF requirements)
- Industry and OT — manufacturing plants, energy, ports (SCADA/ICS access control)
- Organizations with distributed IT — multiple locations, cloud + on-prem, need for centralized access control
What We Deliver
- Phase 1: PAM strategy, privileged account map, technology recommendation, roadmap (40,000 - 60,000 PLN)
- Phase 2: Deployed PAM platform, integrated critical systems, policies, pilot (60,000 - 100,000 PLN)
- Phase 3: Rollout to entire organization, training, documentation, knowledge transfer (30,000 - 50,000 PLN)
- Post-implementation: 3-6 month support, health checks, optimization (15,000 - 30,000 PLN)
Total project cost: 40,000 - 150,000 PLN (depends on number of systems, deployment scale, and selected technology). Can be executed in stages with phased costs.
Take control of privileged access. Let’s talk PAM.
