NCC Group and Delinea Expand PAM delivery

NCC Group has partnered with Delinea to deliver privileged access management as part of its broader approach to digital identity and cyber resilience. The partnership brings Delinea’s cloud-native PAM capabilities into NCC Group’s managed security portfolio, with a focus on protecting critical systems from credential misuse, privilege escalation, and insider risk.

As organizations adopt AI and face tighter regulatory scrutiny, identity security is becoming harder to treat as a standalone control. Privileged access now spans human users, service accounts, and machine identities across hybrid environments. Centralized authorization, continuous discovery, and real-time response are essential to keep pace with how access is actually used. PAM plays a practical role here by enforcing least privilege, reducing standing access, and limiting the blast radius when credentials are compromised.

Within NCC Group’s Unified Digital Identity Framework, PAM functions as a core control rather than a bolt-on tool. Managing privileged credentials, governing sessions, and applying just-in-time access creates guardrails around the systems attackers most often target. Delivered as a managed service, this approach is designed to reduce operational overhead while helping organizations meet compliance requirements and maintain consistent identity governance across environments.

The partnership reflects a service-led view of identity security. Technology provides the control plane, but effective PAM depends on how it is deployed, monitored, and tuned over time. By combining Delinea’s platform with NCC Group’s frontline experience in attack paths and adversary behavior, the focus shifts to running PAM as an ongoing discipline that supports Zero Trust principles, operational resilience, and secure use of AI.
