SECURITY & COMPLIANCE

One PAM platform. Every framework.

12Port maps directly to the security and compliance frameworks that matter to your organization. Agentless deployment, continuous audit evidence, and policy-driven controls that satisfy auditors from day one.

Why PAM is required for compliance

Privileged access is no longer optional.

Nearly every major security framework and cyber insurance policy now requires privileged access controls. Auditors ask the same questions across SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST, CMMC, DORA, NIS2, and the rest: who has privileged access, when did they use it, what did they do, was it approved, and can you prove it. 12Port is built around producing that evidence as a byproduct of normal operations.

Every compliance capability in one platform

The privileged-access controls auditors look for.

No agents, no bolt-on modules, no separate tools to manage. 12Port delivers the controls that show up across every framework.

Credential Vault

FIPS 140-3 encryption, automated rotation, just-in-time credential injection. Credentials never reach the user.

MFA everywhere

TOTP, Duo, YubiKey, Entra ID, RADIUS, email MFA. Enforced for every privileged session, web, native, or API.

Session Intelligence

AI-powered session analysis, live monitoring, behavioral threat detection on every brokered session.

Audit + reporting

Session recordings + transcripts + event logs. Exportable reports and SIEM integration for evidence on demand.

AccessWall

Host-level enforcement that blocks direct access. Only brokered, recorded sessions are allowed. Bypass prevention.

Account Management

Auto-discovery, periodic access reviews, and least-privilege enforcement across humans, machines, and AI agents.

Sixteen frameworks. One platform.

Tell us which frameworks matter to your organization and we will show you exactly how 12Port maps to each requirement. Deploy in under five minutes; produce evidence on day one.

PCI DSS v4.0

Enforce MFA for CDE access (Req 8), vault credentials (Req 7), record every session (Req 10), and restrict access with AccessWall (Req 11).

SOC 2 Type II

Satisfy Trust Service Criteria for logical access (CC6.1), authentication (CC6.2), and anomaly detection (CC7.2) with continuous, auditor-ready evidence.

HIPAA Security Rule

Address 164.312 technical safeguards for access control, audit controls, integrity, person authentication, and transmission security for ePHI systems.

NIST CSF 2.0

Map 12Port to all six CSF functions: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. The foundation for federal and private-sector cybersecurity programs.

Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX)

Meet Section 404 IT general controls for credential management, segregation of duties, session recording, and change management audit evidence.

CMMC 2.0

Meet Level 2 practices for access control, audit, and identification. Protect CUI for DoD contractors and the Defense Industrial Base.

NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5

Address AC, AU, IA, and SC control families with credential vaulting, session recording, MFA enforcement, and AccessWall host-level protection.

ISO/IEC 27001:2022

Map to Annex A controls for access management (A.5.15–A.5.18), privileged access rights (A.8.2), logging (A.8.15), and monitoring (A.8.16).

GDPR

Support Article 32 security of processing with access controls, FIPS 140-3 encryption, audit trails, and breach response readiness for personal data systems.

DORA

Meet Articles 9–12 for least privilege, MFA, access review, and incident response. Address Chapter V third-party ICT risk with vendor session controls.

NIS2 Directive

Meet Article 21 measures for access control policies, MFA, risk analysis, incident handling, and supply chain security for essential and important entities.

UK Cyber Essentials

Meet all five technical controls: access control, secure configuration, firewalls, patch management, and malware protection, with Cyber Essentials Plus readiness.

Essential Eight

Restrict admin privileges, enforce MFA, and monitor privileged activity to achieve Maturity Level 2 and Level 3 compliance across your environment.

MAS TRM

Meet MAS Technology Risk Management guidelines for privileged access (9.1–9.4), security monitoring (10.2), and vendor management (12.1) in financial services.

SWIFT CSP CSCF

Meet SWIFT Customer Security Programme mandatory controls for environment segregation (1.1), MFA (4.2), vendor access (2.8), and session logging (6.4) across your secure zone.

Cyber Insurance

Insurers increasingly require PAM and MFA as conditions for coverage. Without these controls, organizations face higher premiums, reduced coverage limits, or outright denial.

Cyber insurance: what 12Port checks off

  • MFA enforced for all privileged access (web, native, and API)
  • Credential vaulting with automated rotation
  • Complete session recording and audit trails
  • AccessWall prevents direct access bypass
  • Evidence packages for underwriter review
