Managed security

Why pick the lock
when the password works?

Multi-factor authentication, single sign-on and privileged accounts, managed so a stolen password isn’t enough on its own. Admin rights get borrowed for an hour instead of kept for a career.

Where this usually starts

Your firewall’s fine. They logged in instead.

Climbing over a firewall is hard work. Signing in as one of your staff is easier, especially when the password’s sitting in a spreadsheet.

  • The shared admin password lives in a file called Passwords-FINAL-v2.
  • A contractor who left before Christmas still has a working VPN login, because nobody told IT.
  • MFA is on. It’s a push notification people approve while they’re pouring coffee.
  • Every developer has standing production access, because taking it away once caused an outage.
  • There are service accounts nobody can name an owner for, and each one has more rights than the CEO.

What we do instead

Every login gets an owner, a reason and an end date

Every account, human or service, belongs to a named person and exists for a reason we can state. Access comes from roles, so a new starter has what the job needs on day one and a leaver loses it the hour they go. Admin rights get borrowed for a task, logged and handed back. And the second factor is one a fake login page can’t capture, because that’s the exact thing the attacker’s plan depends on.

How it works

How we get identity under control

Step one takes longest. It also finds the most.

  1. Find every account

    Every directory, every SaaS tenant, every server with a local admin, every service account holding a key. Most businesses are surprised by the total, and by how many belong to people who’ve left.

  2. Give each one an owner and a role

    Each account gets a named human responsible for it, service accounts included. Each person gets a role that defines what they need. Anything that doesn’t fit a role is either a mistake or a rule nobody’s written yet.

  3. Put one door on everything

    Single sign-on across everything that supports it, so there’s one place to set policy and one switch to turn a person off. Behind that door goes MFA that resists phishing, a hardware key or a passkey, never a code someone can read out over the phone.

  4. Take back standing admin rights

    Admin access becomes something you check out for a task, with a reason, for a fixed window. The window closes by itself, and the audit trail writes itself.

  5. Automate starters and leavers

    HR records a start, a team move or a departure, and the accounts follow from one script, with every change logged. No ticket to raise, nobody to chase.

  • Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)

    Continuous monitoring of every laptop, desktop and server for behavior that looks like an attack, whether anyone’s seen that particular malware before or not. It’s the sensor the rest of your security runs on.

  • Compliance Management

    We audit your setup against HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 and ISO 27001, get you ready, and keep you there. The controls run all year and the evidence falls out of the running, so nobody spends audit week rebuilding twelve months from memory.

  • Security Awareness Training

    Phishing simulations and short training modules, run often and never used as a stick. The number we care about is how many people report the fake, because that’s what saves you when the real one turns up.

How many accounts, and in how many places?

Your headcount, the directories and SaaS tenants in play, and whether anyone can say how many admins you’ve got.

With that we can point at the standing privilege, say which accounts we’d consolidate first, and lay out what moving everyone to phishing-resistant MFA would take.
