Lock down every identity and eliminate the privileged account risk attackers target first.
The majority of breaches start with credential abuse or privileged account misuse. Armour Cybersecurity designs and implements zero trust identity architecture that covers users, administrators, contractors, and service accounts. We deploy MFA and SSO where they matter, stand up PAM tooling that brings privileged access under control, and operationalize quarterly access governance so the program holds up between assessments.
Identity, made the foundation of security instead of the gap.
Identity and Access Management (IAM) is the layer that decides who can do what across your environment. Privileged Access Management (PAM) is the discipline of controlling, monitoring, and auditing the small group of accounts that can do anything. Most organizations have parts of both, but few have an architecture that ties them together into a defensible whole. The result is shared admin credentials, missing MFA, contractor access that never gets revoked, and access reviews that happen years apart.
Armour Cybersecurity delivers the full lifecycle. We assess your current identity posture against zero trust principles, design the target architecture covering users, admins, service accounts, and external identities, implement PAM tooling that brings privileged accounts into a vault with session recording and audit trails, configure MFA and SSO across the applications that matter, and stand up the quarterly access review process that keeps the program healthy.
Every engagement is delivered against NIST SP 800-63, ISO 27001, and industry best practices, with administrator and identity-owner training included so your team can operate the program independently after the build.
Where identity gaps become the easiest path into the business.
The vast majority of breaches start with stolen, shared, or over-privileged credentials. The gaps that enable this are well known. Most organizations have not closed them because identity work cuts across IT, security, HR, procurement, and every application owner at once.
Without an IAM/PAM program
- No central visibility into who has privileged access across the environment.
- Shared administrator credentials passed between team members in chat, email, or spreadsheets.
- Multi-factor authentication missing or inconsistently enforced on admin accounts.
- Contractor and vendor access provisioned for projects and never revoked at the end.
- Service and machine accounts running with permanent privileges no one audits.
- Access reviews happening annually if at all, with rubber-stamp approvals.
- Inactive and terminated user accounts left active because deprovisioning is manual.
With Armour Cybersecurity IAM/PAM
- Documented inventory of privileged accounts with risk classification and ownership.
- Privileged credentials vaulted, rotated, and session-recorded with audit trails.
- Multi-factor authentication enforced across users, admins, and contractor access.
- Time-bound contractor and vendor access that expires automatically at project end.
- Service and machine accounts inventoried, rotated, and continuously audited.
- Quarterly access reviews with documented certification and remediation workflows.
- Automated provisioning and deprovisioning tied to HR events for joiners, movers, and leavers.
End-to-end coverage of the identity and privileged access lifecycle.
Engage individual services or a coordinated full-program build. Every service is delivered against the same standardized methodology so deliverables compose cleanly into a unified identity function.
Identity Posture Assessment
Structured assessment of current identity architecture, privileged account inventory, MFA coverage, SSO posture, and access governance practices against zero trust principles and industry frameworks.
Zero Trust Identity Architecture
Target identity architecture design covering users, administrators, service accounts, contractors, and external identities. Aligned to zero trust principles and tailored to your directory infrastructure.
PAM Implementation
Privileged Access Management tooling deployed for administrator accounts. Password vaulting, session recording, just-in-time access, and audit logging configured to your environment and operational workflows.
Multi-Factor Authentication
MFA deployment across agreed platforms covering users, administrators, and external identities. Configured with risk-based policies that balance security with user experience.
Single Sign-On Configuration
SSO configured across agreed applications to reduce credential sprawl, improve user experience, and create a single auditable authentication point for security operations.
Directory Modernization
Modernization of identity directory infrastructure where appropriate, including cloud identity provider integration, hybrid identity design, and consolidation of legacy directory sources.
Access Governance & Reviews
Quarterly access review process design with role-based access control framework, certification workflows, exception handling, and the cadence that keeps the program healthy between engagements.
Joiner-Mover-Leaver Workflows
Automated provisioning and deprovisioning workflows tied to HR events. Role-based assignment, timely revocation, and the documentation trail auditors expect for every access change.
Administrator & Owner Training
Hands-on training for identity administrators, application owners, and access reviewers covering platform operations, access certification, and the day-to-day workflows that keep the program effective.
Built for organizations where identity is the front line of defense.
Companies modernizing identity
Organizations consolidating legacy directories, moving to cloud identity providers, or building zero trust architecture for the first time. We deliver the design, tooling, and governance to make the modernization stick.
Compliance-driven implementations
Companies pursuing SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, or CMMC certification where IAM controls and privileged access governance are explicit, audited control requirements.
Post-incident programs
Organizations recovering from credential compromise, ransomware, or insider incident that revealed how much was missing from identity controls. We build the program that should have been in place.
Mid-market and enterprise
Organizations with hundreds to thousands of identities, multiple directories, complex application portfolios, and contractor or vendor ecosystems that need structured identity governance.
A six-phase engagement built on disciplined consulting practice.
Every Armour Cybersecurity IAM/PAM engagement follows the same standardized phases. The discipline is what turns identity from a scattered set of controls into a coherent program your team can operate independently.
