Protecting government systems by securing access across all identities
Mandated by Executive Order 14028: Zero Trust Architecture continues to define cybersecurity
Secure Access for all identities on any device
Challenge
Cyber criminals, terrorists, nation-states, and malicious insiders are actively targeting government IT systems at the Federal, state, and local levels.
Risk
A single breach can expose sensitive data, compromise critical infrastructure, erode public trust, and disrupt mission-critical operations.
Solution
Delinea empowers authorized government employees and contractors with secure access to sensitive systems with continuous monitoring to reduce risk.
Meet NIST Security Measures to comply with Executive Order 14028
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) developed Security Measures for EO-Critical Software to help agencies align with Executive Order 14028. PAM is central to meeting these requirements and building zero trust resilience.
Delinea supports EO 14028 compliance by:
- Securing privileged access to applications, systems, servers, virtual instances, and containers across on-prem, cloud, or hybrid infrastructure.
- Enabling just-in-time (JIT) privilege elevation, granting access only to authorized users for a defined amount of time.
- Enforcing privileges verification at every step with a full audit trail to reduce misuse and support comprehensive oversight.
By embedding PAM into zero trust strategies, agencies can better secure critical systems, comply with EO 14028, and strengthen defenses against advanced threats.

Secure privileged access. Protect government systems.
With the right credentials, bad actors can access personally identifiable information (PII), classified intelligence, and other sensitive data. They can escalate privileges and move laterally across systems, shutting down communications, infrastructure, and supply chains, putting national security at risk. Delinea enables you to secure privileged accounts in weeks, not months, with security controls that prevent unauthorized access, streamlined management, and ensure compliance while reducing risk.
Delinea delivers:
- Enterprise-grade vault
- Comprehensive discovery
- Session monitoring and recording
- Centralized credential management


Privileged Account Management Policy Template
Quickly improve compliance with 40+ pre-written policy statements, aligned to CIS, NIST, PCI, and HIPAA.
Trusted by agencies at all levels of government
Protect server access. Reduce risk.
Government entities are frequent targets due to their scale, complexity, and reliance on internal and external users. Delinea strengthens defenses by enabling humans and machines to seamlessly authenticate while enforcing least privilege with just-in-time elevation, increasing accountability, and reducing risk. With Advanced AD Bridging, Delinea simplifies management across complex AD environments, extending centralized identity and access controls to Windows, Linux, and Unix systems. This ensures agencies meet Office of Management and Budget (OMB) directives and implement security controls outlined in Federal guidance.
Delinea delivers:
- Easy to deploy and define detailed authorization policies
- More visibility & control of privileged activities.
- Identity consolidation with advanced AD Bridging.
- Modern MFA enforcement, cloud storage & privileged session auditing.

Strengthen endpoints. Meet compliance.
Strengthening control over applications, service accounts, and local administrator accounts is essential to protecting government data and mission-critical operations. Delinea automatically removes local admin credentials, including hidden and hard-coded accounts, across domain and non-domain managed workstations. With policy-based privileged elevation, users gain the access they need to perform their duties without relying on permanent admin rights or IT intervention.
Delinea Delivers:
- Streamlined Domain and non-Domain workstation management
- Granular application control policies
- Policy-driven controls
- Quickly adhere to regulatory guidelines and prove compliance
