Where Privileged Access Creates Compliance Risk
See how gaps in access reviews, evidence collection, and cloud controls can impact audits and regulatory outcomes.
Compliance Assessment
Organizations face increasing pressure from auditors, regulators, and cyber insurers to demonstrate control and monitoring of privileged access throughout data center and cloud infrastructure. However, many struggle to efficiently collect evidence, verify authorized usage, and produce timely compliance reports, creating risk exposure and operational overhead. Assess your program today to identify and solve gaps in your environment, helping avoid fines and penalties.
You’re in strong shape—validate and harden
Your PAM program shows clear enforcement of policies and an ability to efficiently satisfy your audit and compliance requirements. Validate coverage across your AWS, Azure, GCP and Operational Technology environments and confirm there are no accounts or roles outside your environment.
Key findings
- PAM policies are likely enforced on accounts and roles throughout hybrid and multi-cloud environments
- Sufficient evidence can be produced to pass audit
Recommended next steps
- Schedule a PAM Program Assessment to confirm thorough coverage across hosted, OT and multi-cloud environments
- Explore integrations and user experience enhancements to improve adoption of privilege controls especially in modern environments
- Review ownership and playbooks for ongoing account and role discovery, reporting, and session monitoring processes
You’re close—fix the gaps before they become incidents
Your PAM program is reducing risk, but inconsistent enforcement across accounts and cloud roles create gaps in your security and audit posture. in rotation, visibility, or audit evidence can slow audits and increase risk. A targeted cleanup will raise your posture quickly.
Key findings
- Inconsistent enforcement of PAM policies throughout hybrid and multi-cloud environments
- Incomplete process documentation for privileged access reviews and evidence collection for audit
- Audit evidence exists, but not collection efforts are not centralized or thoroughly automated Cloud native privileged access workflows may not align with organizational policy
Recommended next steps
- Schedule a PAM Program Assessment to identify coverage gaps across hosted, OT and multi-cloud environments
- Review roles and accounts with access to cloud-based stores of regulated data (e.g. PII, PHI,PCI) and mission critical infrastructure to ensure security of cloud users, developers and third party vendors
- Document processes and ownership for ongoing discovery, reporting, and session monitoring processes
- Begin work to document processes and ownership for ongoing discovery, reporting, and session monitoring processes
High risk detected—prioritize remediation now
Signals point to limited enforcement of privileged access management policies. Explore recommendations to discover, secure and measure privileged access risk in your environment.
Key findings
- Limited or unknown enforcement of PAM policies throughout hybrid and multi-cloud environments
- Limited or unknown documentation of processes for privileged access certification, session monitoring, and evidence collection for audit
- High likelihood of unprotected and unmonitored privileged access in one or more environments
- Notable risk of failing to satisfy audit and compliance requirements
Recommended next steps
-
- Schedule a PAM Program Assessment to assess potential coverage gaps across hosted, OT and multi-cloud environments
- Run discovery scans in your environments to begin identifying, securing and measuring accounts and roles with privileged access
- Implement a Zero Standing Privileges approach to rapidly reduce risk of identity compromise and simplify audit and compliance processes
