The white paper guides SMBs to adopt a practical, scalable IT-led PAM approach. It highlights risks, essential building blocks, and compliance best practices.

The quickest path to breaches often runs through privileged access. However, small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) don’t need expensive, complex full‑stack privileged access management (PAM) to lower their risk, satisfy auditors and insurers, and improve operational discipline.

Instead, they need a right‑sized foundation that they can deploy quickly, operate day‑to‑day, and scale over time. Turning this requirement into reality is the focus of our new white paper: “IT-led PAM: Fast, affordable, compliant privileged access management for SMBs.”

About the white paper

The white paper delivers a practical roadmap that helps SMBs move beyond spreadsheets and shared vaults to a governed PAM program with defined controls, approval workflows, automated rotation, and audit-ready evidence.

The white paper explores:

  • The risks driving the need for PAM, and the compliance trends shaping expectations for SMBs.
  • The differences between password managers, identity platforms, and true privileged access management.
  • The essential building blocks of an IT-led PAM foundation such as discovery, vaulting, approval workflows, and rotation, and see how these create a fast on-ramp to audit readiness.
  • Ways to extend PAM maturity and shrink the attack surface with enhanced capabilities like session brokering and recording, monitoring and reporting, just‑in‑time (JIT) elevation, and zero standing privilege (ZSP).
  • How to benchmark a program against what auditors, insurers, and compliance frameworks such as NIS2 and ISO/IEC 27001 expect.
  • How Devolutions’ approach aligns with real-world SMB and MSP realities.

Who the white paper is for:

  • IT managers and admins who need to secure privileged accounts, reduce credential risk, and generate evidence for audits without adding enterprise overhead.
  • Business and security leaders seeking to improve insurability and their compliance posture through measurable controls.
  • MSPs responsible for managing privileged access across multiple clients with limited resources.
