At Insentra, we understand the challenges businesses face in today’s fast-paced digital environment where the need for agility must be balanced with strong security. That’s why we guide our clients and partners to not only focus on delivering exceptional IT services but to do so with a foundation of trust, transparency, and protection. Our approach helps organisations build resilient, secure service models that inspire long-term confidence and success.
That’s why our Managed Service team have implemented BeyondTrust, a leading provider of Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions, to underpin our security strategy and offer clients complete peace of mind. From enforcing least privilege access to automating credential rotation, session tracking, and instantaneous offboarding, Insentra ensures your systems are secure, without slowing you down.
Least Privilege: Access Only When and Where It’s Needed
At Insentra, we live by the principle of least privilege—because the fewer privileges any account or user has, the smaller the attack surface. With BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access, we ensure that our engineers and support teams have just enough access to perform tasks, and no more.
Whether it’s BAU tasks, planned changes, or troubleshooting issues, access is:
- Granularly controlled and tightly scoped to specific systems or functions
- Time-bound, eliminating the risk of persistent access
- Fully auditable, providing visibility into every action taken
This approach not only meets compliance standards but also gives clients confidence that their systems aren’t exposed to unnecessary risk.
Credential Rotation: Securing the Keys to the Kingdom
Storing static credentials or worse, sharing them, is a recipe for disaster. That’s why BeyondTrust’s automated credential vault and rotation capabilities are a cornerstone of how we protect client environments.
Here’s how it works:
- Privileged credentials are stored securely in BeyondTrust’s vault
- They are automatically rotated after each use or at scheduled intervals
- Engineers never see the actual password, reducing the risk of leakage or theft
For our clients, this means:
- No more password sprawl or shared logins
- No reliance on trust alone…security is enforced by technology
- Peace of mind knowing that even if an account were compromised, the credentials are already expired
Layered Access: Defense in Depth
As part of our layered security strategy, Insentra leverages BeyondTrust to manage two distinct yet critical areas of access: Secure web access to cloud-based portals and Remote access to infrastructure.
For Azure and Microsoft 365 and other cloud portals, we utilise BeyondTrust’s secure web access capabilities to enable controlled, credential-free access to administrative portals. This ensures that engineers can perform necessary tasks in cloud environments without direct credential exposure, while access remains tightly scoped and monitored.
Separately, for infrastructure access, BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access allows our team to securely connect to on-premises or cloud-hosted systems using session-based connections. These are isolated, time-bound, and governed by least privilege principles to prevent overexposure.
To further strengthen security, we apply Conditional Access policies to the BeyondTrust platform itself. Enforcing requirements such as location-based restrictions, device compliance, and multi-factor authentication before access is even granted. These layers of control significantly reduce the attack surface and ensure that access is granted only to the right individuals, under the right conditions, and for the right purpose.
Session Tracking: Visibility and Accountability Built In
Transparency is a core value at Insentra. That’s why every privileged session initiated through BeyondTrust is monitored, logged, and recorded, right down to keystrokes and command-line activity.
What does this mean for you?
- Full audit trails for every remote session
- Real-time oversight of who accessed what, when, and for what purpose
- Ability to review session recordings in case of incidents, audits, or internal reviews
This isn’t about surveillance, it’s about ensuring accountability, building trust, and providing an additional layer of forensic insight that protects both you and us.
Instant Offboarding: Cutting Access at the Source
One of the most overlooked yet critical risks in any managed services relationship is delayed offboarding. Whether it’s due to process gaps or slow handoffs, the longer it takes to revoke access from a departing team member or contractor, the higher the risk to your environment.
Insentra leverages BeyondTrust to close that gap instantly. Here’s how:
- Centralised access control means all remote access is managed through BeyondTrust, not local or shared accounts
- When an individual no longer requires access – whether due to role change, contract end, or emergency offboarding – their privileges are revoked with a single action
- No lingering credentials, no shared passwords, and no time delay between offboarding and enforcement
For clients, this ensures:
- Rapid response to personnel changes
- Minimized window of exposure during offboarding transitions
- Greater confidence that no access goes unchecked or unmanaged
In regulated industries or high-security environments, this rapid turnaround can be the difference between a safe exit and a critical vulnerability.
A Secure, Frictionless Experience
The beauty of BeyondTrust is that it doesn’t get in the way of getting things done. Our engineers can securely connect to systems without VPNs, without managing credentials, and without compromising your security.
For our clients, this means:
- Faster resolution times
- Stronger compliance posture
- Lower risk of human error or insider threat
Bringing it all together
At Insentra, security is never an afterthought it’s built into everything we do. By leveraging the power of BeyondTrust, we ensure that every remote session, every privileged account, and every touchpoint is secured, tracked, and controlled.
Whether you’re a growing business or a highly regulated enterprise, you can count on Insentra to deliver managed services with zero trust, total visibility, and complete peace of mind, right down to the last login.
