Achieve Essential Eight Maturity with Agentless PAM

The ACSC Essential Eight mitigation strategies require strict controls on administrative privileges and multi-factor authentication. 12Port enforces privilege restriction, MFA, and activity monitoring to achieve Maturity Level 2 and Level 3.

How 12Port Maps to Australian Essential Eight Controls

12Port addresses the controls most relevant to privileged access management, giving your audit team verifiable evidence for every requirement.

E8-4

Restrict Admin Privileges

Enforce least privilege with RBAC, JIT access, time-bound sessions, and automatic privilege revocation. Eliminate standing admin access.

E8-5

Multi-Factor Auth

Enforce MFA for all privileged access: TOTP, Duo, YubiKey, Entra ID. Covers interactive and non-interactive admin sessions.

E8-6

Application Control

AccessWall restricts privileged access to PAM-brokered sessions only, blocking unauthorized tools and direct login paths.

E8-7

Patch Applications

Secure access to patch management systems with approval workflows, session recording, and change tracking through PAM.

E8-8

Regular Backups

Protect backup system access with credential vaulting, MFA, and session recording for backup administrator activities.

ML3

Maturity Level 3

Privileged access workstations, time-limited admin access, and comprehensive logging meet Maturity Level 3 requirements.

Continuous Audit Evidence, Always Ready

Stop scrambling before audits. 12Port continuously generates the evidence your assessors need, stored in tamper-proof archives and exportable in audit-ready formats.

  • Admin Privilege Restriction

    Evidence of JIT access, time-bound sessions, and privilege revocation for Maturity Level assessments.

  • MFA Enforcement Logs

    Comprehensive logs proving MFA enforcement for all administrative sessions.

  • Session Recordings

    Tamper-proof recordings of all privileged activity for monitoring and audit requirements.

  • Access Review Reports

    Periodic entitlement reviews proving ongoing privilege restriction compliance.

Every Compliance Capability in One Platform

Every 12Port capability maps directly to compliance controls. No add-ons, no modules to buy, no agents to install.

Credential Vault

FIPS 140-3 validated encryption. Auto-rotation after every use. Secrets never exposed to users.

MFA Everywhere

Enforced at every gate: RDP, SSH, VNC, Web. Supports TOTP, Duo, YubiKey, Entra ID, and RADIUS.

Session Intelligence

AI-powered analytics detect anomalies, flag policy violations, and surface risk in real time.

AccessWall

Enforce that all privileged access goes through PAM. Block direct logins and eliminate bypass paths at the host level.
