5 Steps to Implement an Effective Privileged Access Strategy
How to strengthen Endpoint Governance and meet modern compliance requirements
Introduction to the Whitepaper
Privileged access has become a critical focus area for modern security and compliance teams.
Regulations such as NIS2, ISO27001, and CIS Controls now require organisations to clearly control, document, and justify how administrative privileges are used across endpoints.
Yet many organisations still rely on permanent local admin rights, informal elevation, and undocumented exceptions to keep daily operations running — creating unnecessary risk and audit exposure.
This whitepaper introduces a practical 5-step framework for establishing time-bound, policy-driven privileged access that strengthens governance without slowing down IT operations.
What You Will Learn
- Eliminate standing local administrator rights without slowing operations
- Implement time-bound, policy-based privilege elevation
- Document every elevation event with audit-ready evidence
- Establish clear governance for exceptions and approvals
