Privileged access management services across the UAE
CYBERSECURITY SERVICES

Privileged Access Management Services

Control and monitor privileged access. The single biggest predictor of how bad a breach gets.

Privileged Access Management: The Control Layer That Matters Most

Most breach post-mortems come back to the same finding: admin and service accounts were over-provisioned, credentials were shared and never rotated, standing access existed everywhere, and there was no session record. One compromised admin account became a full-environment breach because nothing was in the way.

PAM closes that down. It puts privileged credentials in a vault, removes standing access, records what people do when elevated, and creates an audit trail that satisfies your compliance team and your security team in equal measure.

IP Care deploys and operates leading PAM platforms, CyberArk, BeyondTrust and Delinea, matched to your environment. We do not just install software and hand it back. We run it for you: maintaining policies, reviewing session logs, rotating credentials and attesting access on the cycle your compliance programme requires.

PAM scope, privileged accounts, credential vaulting, JIT elevation and session recording

PAM SCOPE

What We Cover

Every admin credential, service account and machine identity is a potential breach path. We bring the full PAM surface under control.

  • Privileged account discovery, find every admin, service and machine account
  • Credential vaulting & rotation, eliminate shared, static passwords
  • Just-in-time (JIT) elevation, grant access only when needed, revoke when done
  • Session recording & monitoring, full audit trail of every privileged action
  • Least-privilege enforcement, shrink standing access across your estate
  • Service & machine account management, secrets, tokens and API keys included
  • MFA on privileged access, additional verification at every elevation point

Capabilities

What's Included

Privileged Account Discovery

Scan your environment to find every admin, service and machine account, including the ones no one remembers creating. You cannot protect what you cannot see.

Credential Vaulting & Rotation

Privileged credentials stored in a hardened vault, rotated on schedule and checked out only through a controlled workflow, shared passwords and stale admin accounts gone.

Just-in-Time Elevation

No standing access. Users request elevation for a defined window, get what they need and lose access when the task is done, dramatically narrowing your attack surface.

Session Recording & Monitoring

Every privileged session recorded, keystroke logging, screen capture, command-level audit trail. Supports NESA, ISO 27001 and internal audit requirements without scrambling at review time.

Least-Privilege Enforcement

Systematically shrink admin rights across your estate. Role-based access, time-limited elevations and regular access certifications, privilege accumulation reversed.

Service & Machine Account Management

Rotate service account passwords, manage secrets for applications and handle API keys and tokens through the same controlled workflow as human privileged access.

Why IP Care

What Sets Us Apart

Platform-matched, not vendor-tied
We work with CyberArk, BeyondTrust and Delinea. We pick the platform that fits your environment and your existing stack, not the one we have a quota for.
Operated, not just installed
A PAM deployment without ongoing management drifts, policies go stale, rotation breaks, accounts accumulate. We run the platform for you on a defined operating cycle.
Audit-ready session logs
Session recordings and access logs formatted and retained to satisfy NESA, ISO 27001 and internal audit requests. No scrambling at review time.
No-standing-access model
We engineer toward zero standing privilege, JIT elevation and time-limited access windows instead of always-on admin rights that sit dormant between uses.
Integrates with Microsoft Entra ID
PAM integrates with your existing identity layer, Entra ID, Active Directory and MFA, so privileged access control sits inside your wider identity programme, not beside it.
Local engineers, UAE timezone
UAE-based engineers who understand the compliance environment, NESA, UAE IAS and sector-specific requirements, available for on-site support, not just a remote ticket queue.

Periodic access certifications, policy reviews, rotation health checks and compliance reporting on your required cycle.

UAE Regulations

The Frameworks We Deliver Against

Every engagement is scoped with the rules your organisation answers to. These are the frameworks we assess, remediate and prepare evidence for.

NESA / UAE Information Assurance Standards

Mandatory for critical-sector entities in energy, government, banking, telecom, transport and healthcare. NESA was absorbed into the UAE Signals Intelligence Agency in 2020, but the standards are unchanged and still audited. See our NESA compliance programme.

UAE Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL)

Governs how personal data is collected, stored and accessed. In practice it drives access controls, data classification, consent records and keeping data, including backups, inside the UAE where required.

ISO 27001

The international information security standard many UAE clients and partners ask for. A large share of its Annex A controls map to NESA requirements, so the two programmes can share evidence. See NESA vs ISO 27001.

PCI DSS

Required wherever card payments are stored, processed or transmitted, common in retail, hospitality and e-commerce. We run the gap assessment, remediation and audit preparation as part of our compliance services.

Buyer's Guide

How to Choose a Cybersecurity Services Provider in the UAE

Most UAE businesses we talk to are in the same position: security bolted on after the fact, default configurations never hardened, nobody watching overnight and no written incident response plan. These are the questions that separate a provider who will fix that from one who will sell you another tool.

Start with what you have to comply with

If you operate in a critical sector, NESA / UAE IAS applies whether or not you have started. If you hold personal data, the UAE PDPL applies. Your clients may also ask for ISO 27001 or PCI DSS. A good provider scopes the work around these from day one, rather than treating compliance as a separate project at the end. Our compliance services cover the gap assessment, remediation and audit evidence.

Ask who is watching at 2 am

24/7 monitoring means different things to different providers. Ask who triages the alerts, where they are based, what gets escalated and how fast. Ours is defined and documented before you go live: the scope of what is monitored, the alert thresholds and the escalation procedures.

Ask what happens when something gets through

No control stops everything. What matters is how quickly an incident is contained and how thoroughly it is understood afterwards. An incident response retainer means the response starts immediately instead of from a standing start. Our session hijacking case study shows what that looks like in practice, including an attack that bypassed both the password and MFA.

Fix identity first

Microsoft has reported that multi-factor authentication alone blocks more than 99% of account-compromise attempts, which is why identity hardening is one of the first things we fix: enforced MFA, Conditional Access and clean admin accounts in Microsoft Entra ID. It is the cheapest large reduction in risk most organisations can make.

Know whether you need services or advisory

Cybersecurity services defend and operate your environment day to day. Advisory designs where it should go: Zero Trust architecture, SASE, and board-level governance. Many organisations need both, and it helps when the same company can do both. See our cybersecurity advisory practice.

Local support in Dubai and Abu Dhabi

We are headquartered in Abu Dhabi and send engineers to client sites across the UAE when a job needs hands on site. See cybersecurity services in Dubai and cybersecurity services in Abu Dhabi for how we work in each emirate.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PAM and why does it matter?

Privileged access management (PAM) is the set of controls that govern who can access admin accounts, service accounts and sensitive systems, and what they can do when elevated. It matters because privileged credentials are the most valuable target in any environment: an attacker who compromises one admin account can move laterally, escalate and exfiltrate data across your entire estate. PAM closes that down with vaulted credentials, just-in-time access and a full session audit trail, so a compromised account does not automatically mean a full-environment breach.

Which PAM platform do you use?

We work with CyberArk, BeyondTrust and Delinea. The three leading PAM platforms in the enterprise market. Selection depends on your environment: your existing identity stack (Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory), your scale, your compliance requirements and your licensing position. We are not tied to a single vendor. In some environments one platform is a clear fit; in others we will walk you through a structured comparison and let the requirements decide.

Can you manage service and machine accounts too?

Yes, and this is often where the biggest exposure sits. Human admin accounts get the most attention, but service accounts, application credentials, API keys and tokens are frequently over-privileged, shared across systems and never rotated. We bring service and machine account management into the same vault and rotation workflow as human privileged access, so the full credential estate is under control, not just the accounts people can see in Active Directory.

Do you record privileged sessions?

Yes. Every privileged session, RDP, SSH, database access, application-level admin, is recorded with keystroke logging and screen capture where the platform supports it. The recordings are retained, searchable and formatted for use in security investigations, internal audits and regulatory reviews. If your compliance programme requires evidence of what privileged users did and when, the session record is that evidence.

How does PAM support NESA or compliance requirements?

NESA / UAE IAS controls and ISO 27001 both require demonstrable privileged access controls, least privilege, access review, audit logging and separation of duties. A PAM programme gives you concrete, reviewable evidence for all of those: access certifications, session recordings, rotation logs and exception reports. We structure our PAM deployments to produce the artefacts your compliance and audit teams actually ask for, rather than generating a separate evidence-collection exercise after the fact.
