Step-by-step framework for reducing risk

Authorization is core to identity security.

The Identity Security Maturity Model helps you assess your current practices, prioritize next steps, and guide investment in key authorization controls.

Informed by 10,000+ companies

The maturity model draws on identity security best practices and Delinea’s work with organizations at every stage of maturity, from those just starting their identity security journey to the most advanced programs.

Icon - PAM Scope Expands

The scope expands to include more types of identities and privileged accounts.

Icon - Intelligence and Automation Increase

Intelligence and automation advance, enabling you to continuously learn and adapt your strategy.

Icon - Controls Adapt

Controls become more granular and dynamic to govern, validate, and automate access with precision.

Icons - Integrations Embed PAM

Integrations embed identity security directly into your workflows, making controls virtually invisible to most users.

Identity security maturity is multi-dimensional

Each phase of the Identity Security Maturity Model helps you evaluate your level of maturity according to three factors:

Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) – How strong is the integrity of your system, and how much visibility and oversight do you have?

Privileged Administration – How do you create, define, and manage identities across your organization?

Identity and Access Management (IAM) – How strong are your authoentication controls and how granular are your authorization controls?
