Privileged Access • Endpoint Security • Automation

Practical security for real infrastructure.

PTIC Consulting helps security and infrastructure teams design and implement privileged access, least privilege, and automation that fit the way they actually work.

  • Privileged access patterns that your teams can support long-term.
  • Endpoint elevation models that safely reduce local admin.
  • Automation and reporting that make audits easier to run.
Security-focused Remote-first Consulting since 2019

Where PTIC fits

  • Security and IAM teams driving privileged access and endpoint work.
  • Infrastructure and Windows teams asked to own access controls.
  • Organizations facing new audit, customer, or regulatory expectations.

Typical outcomes

50–80% reduction in broad local admin rights for targeted groups.
2–4× fewer ad-hoc elevation requests.
clarity for audits and access reviews.

PTIC is an independent consulting firm – no software to sell, just help with the tools you already use.

Who this is for

PTIC works best with teams that already feel the weight of privileged access and endpoint risk and want a practical plan forward.

Security / IAM teams

Need to move privileged access and endpoint controls forward without derailing everything else.

Infrastructure / Windows teams

Asked to own privileged access on top of keeping the lights on, and want patterns that are supportable.

Regulated / high-risk orgs

Have audits, regulators, or customers asking for better control of admin access and elevation.

What PTIC does

Focused on making privileged access and endpoint security predictable, maintainable, and easy to explain to non-security stakeholders.

  • Patterns for admin and service accounts.
  • Runbooks for common privileged actions.

  • Elevation policies for key tools and workflows.
  • Rollout plans that avoid “big bang” failures.

Identity and access as a foundation

Identity and Access Management (IAM) defines who your users are, how they sign in, and what they see by default.

PTIC helps align privileged access and endpoint controls with your existing identity model so they reinforce, rather than fight, each other.

Privileged access

Privileged access controls who can perform high-impact actions on your systems and how those actions are recorded.

The aim is simple: make powerful access predictable, traceable, and hard to misuse — without blocking necessary work.

Least privilege on endpoints

Least privilege keeps everyday accounts low risk while still letting people get work done.

PTIC helps design and roll out elevation workflows so users can request what they need, support knows what to expect, and audits can see how it all fits together.

Selected experience

Examples are anonymized, but reflect the types of environments PTIC supports.

Regional utility — endpoint elevation

Local admin removal without outages

  • Designed a tiered endpoint elevation model for operators and support staff.
  • Piloted on a subset of critical workstations, then expanded in phases.
  • Added simple reporting so audits could see who can elevate and where.

Result: broad local admin removed for ~80% of targeted users with no major outages.

High-security environment — admin access

Structured workflows for privileged actions

  • Mapped common admin tasks to controlled elevation and approval paths.
  • Introduced approvals for high-risk changes without blocking routine work.
  • Standardized how privileged actions are requested, executed, and reviewed.

Result: fewer ad-hoc changes and clearer traceability for investigations.

Enterprise IT — mixed environment

Making privileged access visible

  • Consolidated scattered admin access data into a periodic review report.
  • Automated inventory and health checks for key access controls.
  • Documented patterns for onboarding new systems and teams.

Result: leadership gained a clearer view of real risk and progress over time.
