Enterprise PAM Without the Enterprise Price Tag

Full-featured privileged access management that deploys in minutes, not months. Only license the privileged users who need it.

Deploy in Minutes, Not Months

Agentless architecture means no endpoint software to install or manage. Go from download to your first secured session in under 5 minutes.

License Only Who Needs It

Pay per named privileged user, not per employee. In most organizations, only 2-10% of users need PAM licenses. Everyone else is free.

Everything Included

Vault, session recording, credential rotation, MFA enforcement, and multi-tenancy. One platform, one license. No add-ons or hidden modules.

Simple Per-User Licensing That Scales With You

12Port is licensed per Named Privileged User per month. That means only human users or machine identities that initiate privileged access through 12Port count toward your license.

Standard employees, business users, directory accounts, and non-privileged identities are never licensed. No seat minimums. No surprise charges.

Phone, email, and web meeting support included with every plan.

Per Named Privileged User / Month

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a named privileged user?

Any human user or machine identity that initiates privileged access through 12Port. This typically includes IT admins, engineers, DBAs, and service accounts. Standard employees who never touch privileged systems are not counted and cost nothing.

Is there a minimum license count?

No. You can start with as few users as you need and scale up as your team grows. There are no seat minimums and no long-term commitments required to get started.

Can I try 12Port before I buy?

Absolutely. We offer a free trial with full platform access. Most teams have their first secured session running within 5 minutes of install. No credit card required.

Do I need to install agents on my endpoints?

No. 12Port is fully agentless. There is no software to deploy or maintain on target systems. It connects using native protocols like SSH, RDP, PowerShell and WinRM that your infrastructure already supports.

Are all features included, or are there add-on modules?

Everything is included in a single license. Vault, session recording, credential rotation, MFA enforcement, multi-tenancy, REST APIs, and reporting. No hidden modules, no premium tiers.

Can 12Port be deployed on-prem or in the cloud?

Both. 12Port runs on Windows or Linux and supports physical, virtual, and cloud environments. You can use an embedded database for quick setup or connect to Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or MySQL for enterprise deployments.
