The Risk
Data breaches often originate from overprivileged internal users rather than external hackers.
- Standing admin access without oversight
- Unmonitored service accounts
- Unreviewed entitlements
- Compliance failures in regulated sectors (finance, healthcare, government)
The Challenge
Out-of-the-box Okta capabilities don't fully address privileged access concerns.
- Admin sprawl across IT and development teams with persistent full access
- Untracked temporary privilege elevation
- Hardcoded secrets and permanent service account credentials
- Manual and inconsistent access reviews
What Creto Delivers
Privileged access management that balances security with operational agility.
Just-in-Time (JIT) Access
Privileges granted only upon request with approval or automated policies. Time-boxed sessions with automatic expiration. Integration with change requests and ITSM tickets.
Approval Workflows + Session Recording
Approvals via email, Slack, or ticketing tools (ServiceNow). Dual-control workflows for sensitive systems. Session logging and screen recording capabilities.
Vaulted Credentials + Service Account Governance
Elimination of shared root credentials and hardcoded tokens. Automatic secret rotation via HashiCorp Vault, CyberArk, or AWS Secrets Manager.
Audit-Grade Access Trails
Comprehensive logging (who, when, why, what). Exportable compliance reports. GRC and SIEM platform integration. Continuous access review cycles with automated revocation.
