Intro

MajorKey helped identify and secure thousands of privileged accounts, automate governance workflows, and migrate more than 75,000 accounts while reducing operational overhead, improving governance, and establishing a scalable foundation for future growth.

The Opportunity

A leading global financial services organization with a highly distributed environment sought to strengthen its privileged access management (PAM) program. While the company had invested heavily in CyberArk (now Idira by Palo Alto Networks), thousands of privileged accounts remained unmanaged, creating visibility gaps, increasing operational risk, and making it difficult to demonstrate consistent compliance across the enterprise.

The organization needed more than a traditional PAM implementation partner. It needed a scalable model for identifying privileged accounts, automating onboarding, enabling actionable reporting, and supporting long-term growth across multiple business divisions.

The Challenge

Managing privileged access at enterprise scale proved increasingly difficult as the organization's environment expanded.

Key challenges included:

  • Limited visibility into privileged accounts across a complex environment containing more than 100,000 accounts.
  • ‍Thousands of privileged accounts operating outside of CyberArk governance.
  • Manual processes for identifying, validating, and onboarding privileged accounts.
  • Reporting capabilities that highlighted issues but did not enable direct remediation.
  • ‍Siloed processes and governance gaps that increased administrative effort and slowed remediation efforts.

Without greater visibility and automation, achieving consistent compliance across business units would require significant manual effort and ongoing operational overhead.

Automating Privileged Access Governance with OrchestratID

MajorKey helped the organization transform privileged account management through OrchestratID, its workflow automation platform. By automating account onboarding, governance, and remediation processes, the organization reduced manual effort, improved consistency, and established a more scalable governance model. What had previously been a labor-intensive process became a scalable, repeatable operating model capable of supporting growth across multiple business units.

Delivering Real-Time Visibility with IdentityLens

To provide ongoing oversight of the PAM program, MajorKey deployed IdentityLens dashboards and reporting capabilities.

IdentityLens consolidated identity and security data from multiple systems to deliver real-time visibility into privileged account coverage, onboarding progress, compliance status, and enterprise risk indicators. The dashboards helped uncover significant gaps in PAM coverage and gave stakeholders a clear understanding of where action was required.

Unlike traditional reporting tools that simply display information, IdentityLens enabled teams to take action directly from dashboards through integrated workflows. Stakeholders could onboard accounts, validate exceptions, and track compliance progress in real time, creating a more proactive and efficient approach to privileged access governance.

Accelerating Migration and Consolidation with SkyDock

As the program matured, the organization leveraged MajorKey's SkyDock solution to automate the migration and consolidation of more than 75,000 privileged accounts into a centralized privileged cloud environment.

The automation significantly reduced the time and effort required to complete the migration while improving consistency, auditability, and operational efficiency. Drawing on experience from more than 150 CyberArk migration projects, MajorKey helped modernize the organization's PAM infrastructure with minimal disruption to ongoing operations and establish a scalable foundation for future growth.

Results and Business Impact

MajorKey helped transform PAM from a largely manual compliance exercise into an automated, scalable governance program that improved visibility, reduced operational overhead, and supported future growth.

Key outcomes included:

  • Improved visibility into privileged accounts, strengthening governance, audit readiness, and regulatory compliance across the enterprise.
  • ‍Automated onboarding and governance processes that reduced manual effort, accelerated compliance initiatives, and lowered operational overhead.
  • Real-time reporting and actionable insights through IdentityLens dashboards.
  • Migration and consolidation of more than 75,000 accounts into a centralized privileged cloud environment.
  • Accelerated privileged account remediation through automated workflows and actionable reporting.
  • A scalable foundation that supports future growth without proportionally increasing administrative effort.

The MajorKey Difference

The client ultimately selected MajorKey because it offered more than implementation services. MajorKey combined deep PAM expertise with proprietary solutions that delivered automation, visibility, and operational efficiency at enterprise scale.

By bringing together OrchestratID, IdentityLens, and SkyDock, MajorKey provided a uniquely actionable approach to privileged access management. The result was a stronger security posture, reduced administrative overhead, faster progress toward compliance objectives, and a scalable foundation for long-term growth.
