IAM · PAM · Identity Security

Privileged accounts are the keys to the vault. Who’s holding them?

Identity is the new perimeter: most attacks walk in through an account — and do real damage with a privileged one. We bring order to who can access what, with which privilege, for how long — from Entra ID to CyberArk.

The problem

Malware doesn’t open the door. An account does.

Stolen credentials and excessive privileges are the shortest path to a serious incident — and the first thing auditors and enterprise customers check.

Too many admins, too little control

Standing, shared or forgotten admin accounts — each one a vault key left outside the vault.

Access nobody reviews

Permissions granted “just for now” that stay forever. Leavers whose access never leaves.

No answer for the auditor

“Who has access to what?” shouldn’t be a hard question — without IAM/PAM, it is.

How it works

From discovery to governance — at the right pace.

We start with what you already pay for (Entra ID/PIM in Microsoft 365) and scale to dedicated platforms only when it’s justified.

1 · Map

Know who can access what

Inventory of identities, privileged accounts, permissions and risks — with clear priorities.

  • Account and privilege inventory (cloud and on-prem)
  • Risks ranked by impact
  • Quick wins identified
2 · Control

Reduce privilege to what’s needed

MFA and conditional access everywhere, PIM/just-in-time for administration, least privilege and credential vaulting.

  • Entra ID/PIM, just-in-time access with approval
  • Admin tiering and an end to shared accounts
  • CyberArk/Delinea vaulting where justified
3 · Govern

Keep order — with proof

Identity lifecycle, periodic access reviews and reporting — evidence ready for audits, NIS2 and ISO 27001.

  • Joiner-mover-leaver defined and enforced
  • Access recertification with records
  • Reporting for leadership and auditors

Why XKONSULTING

Enterprise experience, sized to fit.

We don’t sell the most expensive platform — we sell control. For many companies, the Entra ID P2 already in your licensing solves 80% of the problem. We tell you exactly what’s missing and why, before proposing any tool.

Frequently asked questions

Before you ask — answered.

Do we need CyberArk, or is what we have enough?

It depends on size and risk. We always start with what your licensing already includes (Entra ID/PIM); dedicated platforms come in only when the case justifies it — and we tell you why.

We’re an SMB — isn’t IAM/PAM a big-company thing?

The risk is the same, at scale: one compromised admin account in an SMB is often fatal. What changes is the solution — proportional, without enterprise bureaucracy.

How long does it take?

Initial discovery takes weeks, not months. Controls land by risk priority — MFA and PIM first, governance next.

Do you work with our IT team?

Yes — we design and implement together with your IT (internal or a provider), with clear boundaries and knowledge transfer.
