Privileged accounts sit at the center of modern attacks and remain a major source of regulatory, operational, and reputational exposure. Static models, disconnected tools, and manual privileged access processes leave excessive, toxic, and dormant access sitting across your most critical systems.
SafePaaS adds one centralized privileged‑access governance layer that standardizes policies, approvals, monitoring, and evidence across ERP, SaaS, infrastructure, and cloud. Human and non‑human privileged identities—from admins to bots, service accounts, and API keys—are governed together so elevated access always tracks to policy and business risk. SafePaaS unifies account and session control, elevation and delegation, and service‑account access into a single governance model.
Just‑in‑time and zero standing privilege (JIT/ZSP)
Require just‑in‑time elevation and time‑bound access instead of always‑on admin rights, minimizing privileged exposure by default.
Policy‑driven, risk‑aware elevation
Look for elevation decisions based on business policies, risk scores, context, and approvals—not just vault access to shared passwords.
Automated discovery and lifecycle of privileged access
Choose solutions that continuously discover and classify privileged users, service accounts, and high‑risk entitlements across ERP, business applications, databases, operating systems, and cloud, and keep them in sync over time.
Continuous activity monitoring and recording
Ensure every elevated session is monitored and recorded, with commands and changes captured for rapid investigation and independent review.
Reconciliation of actions to approvals
Expect privileged activity to be reconciled to approved requests so unauthorized or anomalous behavior is automatically detected and flagged.
Real‑time detection and response
Demand analytics‑driven alerts and automated workflows that can contain suspicious privileged activity across hybrid and multi‑cloud environments in real time.
Centralized, audit‑ready reporting and evidence
Look for centralized, exportable evidence showing who had which privileges, when, why, and what they did—ready for SOX, ITGC/ITAC, and internal audit with appropriate retention.
Cloud‑native deployment and scale
Favor cloud‑first architectures that deploy quickly, scale with your environment, and avoid the overhead of traditional on‑premises PAM infrastructure.
Integration and extensibility
Ensure native integrations with identity providers, ITSM, and ERP/business applications so approvals, tickets, and evidence flow through existing processes.
Industry: British Consumer Goods Corporation
Region: Privileged Access Management
Solution: Security, Compliance, Operational Efficiency, Business Enablement
Security risks: Excessive, dormant, toxic, or unmanaged privileged accounts for both human and non-human identities increase the risk of security breaches.
Compliance pressure: Scattered privileged access data and weak audit trails created uncertainty ahead of SOX, ITGC/ITAC, and internal audits.
Operational inefficiency: Manual onboarding, approvals, and access reviews consumed weeks of IT and business owner time.
Business delays: Slow provisioning for new admins, projects, AI agents, and partners delayed digital initiatives and innovation.
Security and Risk Mitigation: SafePaaS enforces least privilege, zero standing privileges, and continuous policy-driven monitoring, reducing the blast radius of potential compromises and advancing an identity-first security strategy.
Compliance and Audit Readiness: Continuous, audit-ready trails and standardized, identity-centric controls make SOX, ITGC/ITAC, and internal audits faster, easier, and more predictable.
Operational Efficiency: SafePaaS automates privileged access provisioning, elevation, and review through self-service and workflow automation, significantly reducing IT tickets, manual effort, and variability in access management.
Business Enablement: Rapid, governed access enables faster onboarding for admins, projects, AI agents, and partners, supporting cloud initiatives and digital transformation without compromising security or compliance.
| Dimension | SafePaaS PAM | Legacy PAM tools |
|---|---|---|
| Governance model | Policy- and analytics-driven, aligned to identity and business risk. | Vault and session-centric, limited understanding of business risk. |
| Access model | Just-in-time, zero standing privileges for users and services. | Long-lived admin accounts and credentials with broad standing access. |
| Coverage | ERP, business apps, databases, OS, cloud workloads, and service accounts. | Mostly infra/OS, limited view into apps, processes, and non-human identities. |
| Compliance & evidence | Continuous monitoring, automated evidence packs for audits. | Periodic reports, manual evidence collection and correlation. |
| Operational efficiency | High automation and self-service to reduce tickets and toil. | Manual approvals, heavy admin effort, and higher support volume. |
