📚 9. Real-World Case Studies

☁️ Cloud-Native JIT for DevOps

Client: SaaS Platform with Global Dev Teams
Issue: Persistent access to prod environments and secrets
Our Work:

Implemented JIT SSH access using HashiCorp Boundary
Integrated approval via Slack and ServiceNow
Outcome:
Eliminated 24×7 prod access for 30+ devs
Achieved SOC 2 readiness

🏢 Azure AD PIM Rollout for Finance & IT

Client: FinTech with hybrid cloud model
Challenge: Global admin roles were permanently assigned
Solution:

Deployed Azure AD PIM with role activation and approval
Set up alerts for unapproved privilege escalation
Result:
Reduced privileged accounts by 78%
Audit log aligned with RBI and ISO 27001

🛡️ 10. SOP – Standard Operating Procedure

Conduct privileged role inventory
Define access justification and time policy
Select JIT tooling based on environment
Design access workflows and approval routes
Implement integrations with IAM, ITSM, and alerting
Roll out pilot for IT/Admin teams
Monitor access logs and policy violations
Fine-tune workflow and policy enforcement
Document standard workflows and exceptions
Deliver final report and advisory handoff

📋 11. Sample JIT Access Checklist (Preview)

Define roles and access needs for JIT access.
Implement approval workflows for privileged access.
Configure time-bound access windows.
Integrate JIT with PAM or IGA platforms.
Use temporary elevation with audit logging.
Automatically revoke access post-timeout.
Alert on excessive or abnormal JIT requests.
Link JIT to change management or ticketing systems.
Test for abuse of JIT mechanisms.
Review and refine policies based on usage metrics.
