Privileged access, minus the standalone PAM bill
Standalone PAM platforms are priced as if privileged access were a separate discipline with its own budget line. For most IT organizations it is not — it is part of the same operational fabric as patching, monitoring, and the service desk. Monitic builds privileged access management into the platform: a tenant-encrypted password vault, privileged asset management for servers and network devices, brokered session assignment, and an audit trail that records every credential reveal. It ships in the Enterprise tier — typically less than a standalone PAM product costs on its own — on a platform with per-endpoint plans.
What privileged access management software has to prove
A CISO evaluating PAM needs three answers. First, an inventory: which servers, network devices, and credentials count as privileged, and where do they live. Second, cryptographic containment: if the database leaks, do the secrets leak with it. Third, attribution: who saw which credential, and when. Monitic answers all three inside the console your team already works in — the password vault for containment, privileged assets and sessions for inventory and brokering, and a reveal-level audit trail for attribution.
A password vault sealed per tenant
Every vault entry's payload is envelope-encrypted: sealed with AES-256-GCM under a data key unique to your tenant, which is itself wrapped by a master key that never sits next to the data. A database dump leaks nothing without that master key. Entries are organized in folders so teams can structure credentials by client, site, or system, and partial updates carry audit flags that distinguish a metadata edit from an actual secret change. The full design is on the password vault page.
Privileged assets and brokered sessions
Register servers and network devices as privileged assets, attach the credentials that unlock them, and assign sessions to the technicians who need access — without handing out standing credentials to everyone on the team. MSPs can hold credentials on behalf of their clients, and personnel-scope access patterns keep client-facing staff inside their lane. See privileged assets and sessions for the brokering model, and remote access for the connection layer it pairs with.
Audit that separates a rename from a secret change
Every credential reveal is recorded: who revealed what, and when. Mutations are logged with enough context to reconstruct events later — and partial-update flags mean an auditor can tell at a glance whether an edit touched the secret payload or only its metadata. That precision matters when you are answering a regulator, not just a dashboard. The same discipline runs through security compliance across the platform.
How it works
Register privileged assets and store their credentials in the vault. Assign or broker sessions to the technicians and personnel who need them. Every reveal and every mutation lands in the audit trail automatically — no separate logging product, no export pipeline to maintain, no reconciliation between the PAM tool and the platform of record.

- Privileged assets & sessions — asset registry, session assignment and brokering, personnel-scope access.
Works with the rest of the platform
Privileged access is stronger when it shares a data model with the rest of your operation. Identity & directory governs who exists and what roles they hold; remote access carries the sessions PAM brokers; security compliance turns the audit trail into evidence. Teams preparing for a framework audit should start with the compliance solution. PAM ships in the Enterprise tier — see pricing — and setup is covered in the privileged access docs.

Frequently asked questions
Does Monitic rotate credentials automatically?
No. Monitic focuses on sealed storage, brokered access, and reveal-level auditing. Rotation remains a controlled, human-initiated operation — and because every secret change is flagged in the audit trail, you can verify it actually happened.
What happens if our database is dumped?
Nothing useful to the attacker. Vault payloads are AES-256-GCM sealed under per-tenant keys wrapped by a master key stored separately. Without the master key, the dump contains ciphertext.
Is PAM an extra license on top of Monitic?
No separate product. PAM and identity capabilities are included in the Enterprise tier. Standalone PAM tools alone typically cost more than the whole platform.
Can MSPs hold credentials on behalf of clients?
Yes. Privileged assets and vault entries can be held per client, with per-company access allow-lists keeping each technician inside the clients they are assigned to.
