360° Identity Security Check
A 14-day, hands-on review of your privileged access tools, infrastructure, and processes - conducted by senior Identity Security experts. Also known as a PAM maturity assessment.
Do you know for sure if your privileged identity system is still secure in 2026?
Most PAM implementations look solid on the surface - but if we take a deeper look: the privileged identity stack itself, the IAM processes behind it, and the governance that's supposed to hold it all together.
When it comes to protecting your critical assets, every weakness matters.
In two weeks, without disrupting your operations, we give you a clear, prioritized report of every weakness we discover.
You invested a lot in IAM and PAM tools - but
Attackers don't care.
Having enterprise-grade security tools deployed means nothing if configuration drift and operational workarounds quietly undermine them.
Attackers don’t waste time attacking your strongest controls - they simply look for the blind spots, bypassed vaults, and unmanaged accounts left behind in daily business.
In heavily regulated environments where failure carries severe societal and operational fallout, spending the budget is only half the battle. You must be 100% certain that privileged access is strictly enforced across every server, cloud workload, and application.
Especially in 2026, where basic AI tools make it simple even for novice hackers to breach major companies and cause severe financial and reputational damage.
Will your configurations actually hold up under a real attack?
PROBLEM
Management asks: "Could this kind of attack happen to us?" Your honest answer is "we don't fully know."
Not for lack of investment - but because you no longer have certainty over how every tool is actually configured, or whether the processes around it are even followed.
Somewhere between acquisitions, grown systems, and daily workarounds, that certainty quietly disappeared.
ROOT CAUSE
That uncertainty has concrete causes. New systems went live without being onboarded into the vault.
Firewall exceptions - opened once, for convenience - never got closed. Credentials drifted out of sync, and processes existed on paper but not in practice.
Piece by piece, a second, invisible layer of privileged access grew right next to the one you control.
CONSEQUENCE
That invisible layer is exactly where attackers operate. They don't fight your PAM system - they walk around it, using valid credentials nobody monitors.
And when the incident review comes, the hardest question won't be how they got in. It will be why nobody saw it.

Configuration Audit Scope
How we inspect your CyberArk, PAM, and IAM rules for weak, broken, or bypassed controls.
Blind Spot Identification
A first look at typical shadow admin paths, unvaulted credentials, and onboarding gaps.
Tailored Assessment Plan
A transparent overview of deliverables, effort, and timelines for your technical team.
How We Work Together
Simple, predictable, and tested in some of the most demanding environments in Europe.
01
Assessment
Two weeks, clearly scoped, no disruption to your operations. We examine your privileged access platform, the infrastructure it runs on, and the processes and governance around it - hands-on, by senior experts, not through questionnaires.
02
Reporting
You receive a management-ready report with every finding prioritized by risk - plus a structured remediation tracking sheet your team can work with immediately. We present the results to you personally and answer every question, from board level to engineering detail.
03
Remediation
Your findings, your decision. Fix them with your internal team, your existing partners - or with us. If you want the gaps closed by the people who found them, we implement, harden, and verify until the report reads differently and your risk is gone.

Telecommunications Provider
Industry: IT & Technology Service
Location: Germany
A telecommunications provider operating government-classified critical infrastructure, delivering security services both internally and to external enterprise clients under strict national compliance requirements.
Problem / Challenge
Operating critical infrastructure on behalf of enterprise clients, the organization needed to prove its privileged access practice was genuinely auditable - not just technically present. Our assessment found undocumented operational processes, no tested disaster recovery procedure, and inconsistent standards across environments.
Solution
We assessed the environment end to end and identified every direct-assigned high-privilege account bypassing proper governance. The findings included a recommended role-based access model tied to Active Directory group governance - giving the organization a concrete blueprint to enforce least-privilege and separation-of-duty, not just document it as policy.
European Insurance Group
Industry: Insurace
Location: Multiple in Europe
A multinational insurance group operating across several European markets, managing sensitive customer and financial data under ISO 27001 and national insurance-sector regulation
Problem / Challenge
Privileged access had grown organically across multiple regions, with no consistent roles-and-permissions model. Accounts with far-reaching administrative power had been assigned directly to individuals, bypassing Active Directory groups and IAM processes entirely - some for years, unnoticed and unreviewed.
Solution
We assessed the environment end to end, identified every direct-assigned high-privilege account, and designed a role-based access model tied cleanly to Active Directory group governance. The result: enforced least-privilege and separation-of-duty, not just documented as policy - as day-to-day reality.
National Bank
Industry: Finance
Location: Germany
A regulated German bank operating under strict oversight from national and European banking authorities, with a large, historically grown Linux and Unix estate supporting core financial operations.
Problem / Challenge
The bank had invested in a privileged access platform years earlier - but an assessment revealed the investment wasn't paying off. Privileged accounts existed outside of any oversight, critical infrastructure components lacked redundancy, and administrators could bypass the platform entirely without detection. On paper, the environment looked mature. In practice, most of the attack surface it was meant to protect remained exposed.
Solution
We conducted a full health assessment across configuration, infrastructure resilience, and operational governance - not just the tool, but the processes and foundation around it. Findings were prioritized by risk and delivered as a management-ready roadmap, giving the bank's leadership a clear, defensible path to close the gaps before the next audit.
Security isn't just a checkbox for the clients. It's the reason the business stay on.
I've spent more than 25 years in Identity Security, almost all of it with organizations where security was never just a regulatory requirement - energy, banking, telecommunications, insurance. Places where a failure doesn't just cost money. It affects people who never asked to depend on that infrastructure.
These environments are rarely clean. Decades of acquisitions, systems that grew instead of being designed, authentication logic nobody fully documented. I've seen the edge cases most consultants only read about - and built solutions for them, not around them.
This was never just a job to me. When I close a gap that could have been used against a hospital, a power grid, or a bank, I'm not just delivering a project. I'm doing the part I can do to keep the people behind these organizations safe.
