Building a Sustainable PAM Operating Model & Governance
Go-live is not the end of a PAM deployment; it is the beginning of the operating lifecycle.
A PAM strategy defines how an organization controls, governs, and monitors privileged access across its entire environment. But who actually runs it once the deployment team leaves?
Beyond Go-Live
The Reality
Many organisations treat PAM as a project with a definitive end date. Once the tool is installed, the project team disbands. There is no clear owner, no integration with Joiner/Mover/Leaver (JML) processes, and no dedicated personnel to manage the environment.
The Cost of Operational Neglect
Without an operating model, privilege creep inevitably returns. Over 80% of organisations need dedicated personnel just to manage their PAM environment—and those people are incredibly hard to find amidst the global cybersecurity skills gap. Without them, the system degrades, policies become stale, and security posture weakens daily.
Continuous monitoring and control is a core pillar of a 2026-ready PAM program. Privileged access must be actively monitored, not passively logged.
Run a Sustainable Programme in Module 10
Our curriculum bridges the gap between implementation and daily operations. In our upcoming Module 10, learners build a RACI matrix and a 12-month operating calendar, ensuring that governance is baked into the organisation’s DNA long after the initial deployment is ‘finished.’
