The PAM maturity model is a strategic framework that helps organizations evaluate and improve how they manage privileged access. Rather than prescribing a fixed set of steps, it provides a lens to assess current capabilities and plan practical improvements based on business needs, risk tolerance, and IT resources.
The model emphasizes progression—it's a journey, not a destination. Organizations may aim for goals such as implementing dual-account strategies, reducing standing privileges, or improving auditability, without necessarily targeting full zero trust. Each advancement strengthens control, accountability, and security around privileged accounts and access.
Devolutions PAM supports this journey by offering flexible, centralized tools for credential management, access control, and session recording. It helps IT teams mature their PAM practices at their own pace while ensuring security and operational efficiency.
