Privilege discovery and modelling
Find standing access, indirect paths, privileged roles, administrative tiers, service accounts and vendor access.
Privileged Access Management
Eligible. Approved. Strongly authenticated.
Time bound. Monitored. Removed.
MAITS designs privileged access so administrative capability is available when required without becoming invisible standing power.
PIM is one control surface
A complete PAM model also addresses identity separation, authentication, workstations, service accounts, vendor access, emergency paths, monitoring and operational governance.
Capability
Design every route to administrative power.
Privilege is modelled across people, roles, devices, credentials, systems, suppliers and operational exceptions.
PIM, JIT and JEA
Use eligibility, approval, duration, just-in-time access and just-enough administration concepts around supported platforms.
Privileged identity separation
Separate everyday and administrative identities and control movement between privilege tiers.
Strong privileged authentication
Use phishing-resistant MFA, security keys or passkeys and appropriate device assurance for sensitive administration.
Privileged workstations
Protect administrative sessions through hardened devices, network boundaries and restricted tool paths.
Emergency access and governance
Define break-glass, approval, monitoring, review, evidence, removal and accountable operational ownership.
Engagement outcomes
Make the next decision and delivery step clearer.
Reduced standing privilege
High-value access is eligible or activated for a bounded need.
Stronger administration
Identities, methods, devices and sessions match privilege risk.
Visible use
Activation and administrative activity have monitoring and ownership.
Safe emergency access
Critical recovery paths are protected, tested and governed.
Expected outputs
Useful artefacts for the people who must act.
Outputs are agreed for the engagement scope and written for the leaders, architects, engineers, operators and assurance teams who will use them.

From advice through implementation
Enter at the stage where support is needed.
MAITS can provide one bounded stage or remain involved across design, delivery, validation and capability transfer.
Understand the decision
Clarify the people, systems, obligations, constraints, ownership and outcome involved.
Establish current state
Review evidence, architecture, controls, risk, capability and delivery readiness.
Define the target
Set principles, architecture, policy, operating ownership and a practical change sequence.
Implement the change
Configure, integrate, automate, migrate and roll out alongside accountable teams.
Test the outcome
Review behaviour, evidence, exceptions, recovery, readiness and residual risk.
Transfer capability
Embed knowledge, governance, runbooks, measures and an owned improvement path.
Related capability
Continue with the service that matches the next decision.
