Session recordings
Every privileged session is fully monitored and recorded, with high-fidelity playback stored securely under controlled access and indexed for later search, no agent on the target.
The problem shape is always the same.
Privileged access failures rarely come from a missing control. They come from the same six situations, repeated across industries and organisation sizes, a secret nobody owns, a permission nobody removed, a record nobody can vouch for.
So this page describes the patterns rather than the customers. Each one below names the situation, and links to the capability module built to resolve it.

Patterns, not logos
We do not name customers without written consent, and we do not publish figures we cannot stand behind. What follows is the set of problems, not attributed results from organisations you cannot call to verify.
The stack nobody chose
A vault was bought for secrets, a recorder for sessions, a workflow tool for approvals and a reporting add-on for the audit, each with its own console and its own copy of who can do what.
Resolved byPAM Consolidation
Privilege that never expires
Access granted for one incident is still active two years later. Nobody decided to keep it; there was simply never a mechanism that removed it.
Resolved byWorkflow & Access Control
Credentials hiding in plain sight
Database passwords in config files, service accounts in scheduled tasks, an IIS App Pool that has used the same secret since install. These are the credentials no rotation policy ever reaches.
Resolved byPassword & Credential Management
Logs you cannot vouch for
The events exist, but they sit in storage an administrator can edit, so in an investigation or an audit they prove nothing about what happened.
Resolved byAudit, Governance & Compliance
Sessions nobody can inspect
A privileged session ran, the change landed, and the only account of how it happened is the operator's memory several weeks later.
Resolved bySecure Remote & Hybrid Access
Third parties and automation with standing keys
Vendors, CI/CD pipelines and now autonomous agents hold long-lived credentials for systems their operators may never need to touch directly.
Resolved byEnterprise & Identity Integration
The review that stops being an argument
Most access reviews are reconstruction work. Somebody assembles a picture from logs, ticket history, emails and memory, and then defends it. When the record is produced by the platform as a side effect of doing the work, the same meeting becomes a matter of reading it out.
- Every privileged action logged with user, time, asset and outcome
- Session recordings that are contextual, fully indexed and searchable after the fact
- Approvals recorded as evidence rather than reconstructed from an inbox
- Audit records held in tamper-proof storage with cryptographic audit-chain hashing
- Scheduled reports covering entitlements, user activity and asset inventory
- Six regulatory frameworks mapped out of the box, so a report arrives in the auditor's shape

What the platform actually produces
Outcomes are only meaningful if something concrete stands behind them. These are the artefacts OmniPriv emits, and they are the same ones an audit asks for.
Approval trails
4-eyes is enforced: a minimum of two independent approvers, with the requester excluded from the approval path, so no request can be self-approved.
Hash-chained audit records
Audit entries are held in tamper-proof storage with cryptographic audit-chain hashing, preserving integrity and non-repudiation rather than merely retaining rows.
Rotation events
Hard-coded credentials are eliminated from configuration files, databases, registries, Windows Services, scheduled tasks and IIS App Pools, and rotated automatically instead.

Go deeper
Two long-form write-ups, plus the full capability set.
Start from your pattern, not our template
- Name your pattern
- See the controls
- Decide on evidence
Tell us which of the six situations matches your environment and we will show you the controls that address it, including the ones you would have to give up to get there.
No invented percentages required on either side.
On-premise. Independently audited. Yours to run.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question that is not here?
Talk to the OmniPriv team about your identities, systems and AI agents.
Request a DemoBecause we do not name customers without their written consent, and we do not publish outcome figures we cannot stand behind. Rather than present unnamed organisations with precise-sounding percentages, this page describes the problem patterns and the platform controls that address them. We are happy to arrange a reference call where one is appropriate and consented to.
It is scoped against your environment rather than sold as a fixed number. A rollout plan is produced during the architecture review, before any commitment.
On-premise, on infrastructure you control: VMware, Red Hat and OpenStack, as a hardware-agnostic software appliance. Multi-node clustering, automated health checks, continuous heartbeat monitoring, database replication and load balancing are available for high availability.
A 30-minute introductory call, a tailored walkthrough configured for your use cases, an architecture review of your existing infrastructure, and optionally 30 days running OmniPriv in your own environment at no cost with support from our engineering team.
You do, on both counts. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit, with a layered key hierarchy protecting stored keys, and the installation key is generated at installation and stored externally and independently of the platform. Audit records are hash-chained in tamper-proof storage, so they cannot be altered or deleted, including by an administrator.
