Privileged Access Management
High-Assurance Access

System administrators, C-suite and high-value targets need authentication that passwords and basic MFA can't protect. PKI smart cards, HSM-backed secrets and dual-control policies, all from MyID®.

Privileged Access Management High-Assurance Access
How it works

Step-by-step deployment

1

Identify Privileged Users

Enumerate all elevated accounts, domain admins, DBAs, executives and service accounts.

2

Issue High-Assurance Credentials

MyID CMS issues PKI smart cards or FIDO2 keys with privileged-specific certificate policies.

3

Enforce Dual Control

High-risk operations require dual approval. MyID SecureVault enforces this at the secrets layer.

4

Audit Every Session

Every privileged authentication event logged, user, credential, device, timestamp. Immutable.

Requirements

What you need to deploy

MyID fits into your existing infrastructure. Bring your CA, directory and HSM, no rip-and-replace required.

PKI Infrastructure

CA connection for privileged certificate profiles, separate OID from standard user certs.

HSM Hardware

FIPS 140-2 Level 3 HSM for privileged key material. Entrust nShield or Thales Luna.

PAM Integration

CyberArk, BeyondTrust or Delinea for session recording alongside MyID credential management.

Context

Privileged access is the highest-risk credential surface in any organisation

Privileged accounts (admins, root, service accounts, break-glass credentials) hold the keys to your most sensitive systems. They are the highest-value target for attackers, yet most organisations still authenticate them with passwords. MyID extends hardware-bound, phishing-resistant credentials to every privileged user, with full audit trail, emergency break-glass workflows, and policy-driven session controls. Every privileged action is tied to a verified identity, with a cryptographic chain of custody.
