Privileged Access Management (PAMaaS)
Privileged Access Management as a Service (PAMaaS)
In today’s threat landscape, compromised privileged credentials are the number one attack vector for data breaches. Organisations must secure, control, and monitor access to their most critical systems — but building and maintaining an in-house Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution is complex, costly, and resource-intensive.
Dataproof’s PAMaaS eliminates that burden. Delivered as a fully managed service, our PAM solution is built on ManageEngine PAM360, a leading enterprise-grade platform trusted by organisations worldwide.
Credential Vaulting
Centralised, encrypted vault for all privileged credentials with automated password rotation and complexity enforcement
Session Management
Real-time monitoring, recording, and termination of privileged sessions across IT infrastructure
Access Governance
Granular access controls, just-in-time provisioning, and comprehensive audit trails for compliance
Powered by ManageEngine PAM360
ManageEngine PAM360 is a comprehensive privileged access management solution that provides end-to-end control over privileged access across your enterprise. As a ManageEngine partner, Dataproof delivers PAM360’s full capabilities as a managed service — so you get enterprise-grade PAM without the overhead of deploying, configuring, and maintaining it yourself.

Who Needs PAMaaS?
Any organisation that has privileged accounts — and virtually every organisation does — can benefit from PAMaaS. It is especially critical for:
- Financial Services — Protecting customer financial data and meeting PCI-DSS requirements
- Healthcare — Securing patient records and complying with POPIA and HIPAA
- Government & Public Sector — Safeguarding national infrastructure and citizen data
- Managed Service Providers — Securing client environments with auditable privileged access
- Mid-Market Enterprises — Getting enterprise PAM without enterprise-level budgets and teams
How It Works
Our PAMaaS engagement follows a proven methodology:
- Assessment — We discover and inventory all privileged accounts across your environment
- Architecture — We design the PAM360 deployment tailored to your infrastructure and policies
- Deployment — We implement, configure, and integrate PAM360 with your systems and identity providers
- Onboarding — We migrate privileged credentials into the vault and enforce new access policies
- Managed Operations — We provide 24/7 monitoring, alerting, session oversight, and ongoing policy management through our CSOC
- Continuous Improvement — Regular reviews, threat analytics tuning, and access policy optimisation
Delivered Through Our CSOC
PAMaaS is integrated with Dataproof’s Cyber Security Operations Centre (CSOC), meaning privileged access events are correlated with your broader security telemetry. Suspicious privileged activity triggers immediate investigation and response — not just an alert that sits in a queue.
