Britive — Privileged Access Without Standing Credentials

Britive is a cloud-native privileged access management platform built around just-in-time access and zero standing privileges. Rather than handing engineers permanent administrator accounts, Britive grants elevated permissions on demand, for a limited window, with every request and session recorded.

Why we chose it

Standing administrator accounts are one of the most common weaknesses in cloud estates: they are always available, rarely reviewed, and highly valuable to an attacker. Britive removes them. Access is brokered just in time, scoped to a task, and revoked automatically — which is exactly the least-privilege posture that regulated environments and their auditors expect.

Because Britive works across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, it fits the multi-cloud estates we build for life-sciences clients. It gives us a single, consistent way to control privileged access and to evidence it during a security or compliance review.

Key Capabilities

Just-in-Time Privileged Access

Users request elevated access only when they need it, for a defined window, with the request, approval and session logged. Standing admin credentials are removed from the picture entirely.

Zero Standing Privileges

No always-on administrator accounts sit waiting to be stolen. Permissions are granted on demand and revoked automatically, shrinking the blast radius of a compromised identity.

Multi-Cloud Identity

A single control plane for privileged access across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, so policies and approvals stay consistent across every environment you run.

How we use it in our engagements

Replacing shared admin credentials with short-lived, auditable access in regulated AWS accounts
Designing approval workflows that map to your change control and access review requirements
Reducing the standing-privilege footprint across multi-cloud estates as part of a least-privilege programme
Providing the access evidence auditors expect during SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GxP reviews
