Product Release
The guide introduces CyberQP's privileged access management solution that eliminates standing admin rights through just-in-time elevation, continuously rotates credentials to prevent persistent attacker footholds, enforces identity verification within workflows to block unauthorized access, and provides comprehensive audit trails to ensure compliance with security frameworks and cyber insurance requirements.
The Buyer’s Guide to Privileged Access & Identity Security
Most security demos are built to impress, not to work in real environments. This guide helps you evaluate privileged access and identity security tools based on real risk, real workflows, and the questions vendors hope you don’t ask. Use it to cut through the noise and choose a solution that actually reduces breach exposure across your helpdesk, endpoints, and users.
The Real Problem You’re Trying to Solve
Achieving Zero Standing and Least Privilege
CyberQP's PAM offering removes standing admin rights and replaces them with just-in-time, time-bound elevation for both technicians and end users. Access is granted only for the specific task or session needed, then automatically revoked, eliminating privilege creep and reducing the blast radius if an account is compromised.
Building a Moving Target Defense
CyberQP continuously rotates credentials, removes static access paths, and prevents shared or stale privileges from lingering in the environment. By making credentials temporary, access dynamic, and privileges ephemeral, attackers lose the persistent footholds they rely on for lateral movement.
Eliminating Unauthorized Access
CyberQP enforces identity verification before any password reset, elevation, or access approval occurs. By embedding verification directly into helpdesk and endpoint workflows, IT teams prevent impersonation, social engineering, and unauthorized privilege requests before they ever become a risk.
Meeting Compliance and Cyber Insurance Requirements
Every access request, approval, verification, and elevation is automatically logged and tied to a verified identity. This gives IT and security teams exportable audit trails that prove least privilege enforcement, identity assurance, and access control for frameworks like SOC 2, HIPAA, NIST, and for cyber insurance evidence requirements.
The Hidden Risks You Might Be Ignoring
- Standing admin access: Creates persistent pathways for lateral movement—even after offboarding.
- Weak Offboarding: Disables email but leaves access rights in AD, SaaS, or cloud systems.
- Shared Credentials: Prevents accountability and makes audit trails meaningless.
- Orphaned Accounts: Common after M&A, terminations, or contractor churn. Easy entry point for attackers.
- Over-Permissioned Service Accounts: Often excluded from audits but capable of high-impact actions.

Meeting ISO/IEC 27001 requirements around access control, authentication, and least privilege is challenging without the right tooling in place. This product control mapping shows how CyberQP’s solutions help IT teams reduce risk and produce clear audit evidence.
How CyberQP Supports ISO/IEC 27001:2022
Privileged Account Just-in-Time (JIT) Access
Controls: 5.16, 5.18, 8.02
The Gap: ISO/IEC 27001 requires organizations to tightly control privileged access, enforce least privilege, and ensure that elevated access is granted only when necessary. Standing admin accounts and shared credentials increase the risk of unauthorized access and audit findings.
CyberQP’s QGuard eliminates standing privileged access by issuing credentials only when needed through Just-in-Time (JIT) workflows. Access is time-bound, fully audited, and tied to individual technicians, reducing credential exposure while giving IT teams clear evidence of least-privilege enforcement during audits.
Passwordless Authentication, Identity Verification & Auditing
Controls: 5.17, 8.05, 8.15
The Gap: ISO/IEC 27001 emphasizes secure authentication, identity management, and activity logging. Password-based workflows and weak identity verification increase the risk of unauthorized access and make it harder to prove control effectiveness.
CyberQP replaces password-based privileged workflows with passwordless authentication, strong identity verification, and comprehensive logging. Every access request, approval, and action is tracked and auditable, giving IT teams clear evidence of who accessed what, when, and why, without relying on shared credentials or insecure processes.
Endpoint Privilege Management & Elevation Controls
Controls: 5.15, 5.18, 8.02
The Gap: Maintaining least privilege at the endpoint level is difficult without disrupting users. ISO/IEC 27001 requires organizations to limit privileged access while still enabling legitimate business tasks.
CyberQP provides controlled elevation workflows, Audit Mode visibility, and policy-based approvals for applications and processes. IT teams can confidently remove local admin rights, approve only what’s necessary, and demonstrate controlled privilege escalation without increasing help desk volume or end-user friction.
How Modern MSPs Simplify Onboarding of New Customers
Simplifying Security with Password Rotation Policies
CyberQP has introduced a powerful new feature in its Privilege Access Management (PAM) Platform—Password Rotation Policies. This innovation is designed for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) handling privileged account security, especially those managing dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of clients. With CyberQP’s Password Rotation Policies, MSPs can define, manage, and apply password rotation settings across multiple customers from a single dashboard. No more setting up rotation rules individually—now, you can create a policy once and apply it globally.
Why This Matters for MSPs
- Save Time & Reduce Manual Work: Define rotation rules once and apply them to multiple customers automatically.
- Enhanced Security: Global rotation policies ensure every account adheres to the latest security standards, minimizing vulnerabilities across your client base.
- Regulatory Compliance: Standardized password policies help meet industry regulations efficiently.
- Reduced Risk of Human Error: Standardizing password settings across multiple customers minimizes inconsistencies and human mistakes that can lead to security breaches.
Key Features of Password Rotation Policies
- 1.Global Rotation Policies: Create global rotation policies for admin and service accounts, establishing a uniform password rotation schedule that can be applied to multiple customers in just a few clicks.
- 2.Default Policy for New Customers: Every new customer account created in CyberQP automatically adheres to your established security standards.
- 3.Standardization Across Customers: Maintain high security levels across your entire customer base by defining consistent rotation settings.
- 4.Streamlined Management for Large MSPs: Efficient password management for MSPs juggling dozens, hundreds, or thousands of customers.
Empowering Your Team
Permissions for managing Password Rotation Policies are limited to admin roles on the QGuard plan, ensuring that only authorized personnel can implement and modify settings. This additional layer of security helps maintain control over critical account management functions.

CyberQP (formerly Quickpass Cybersecurity) Enhances MSP Cybersecurity Programs with New Just-in-Time Privileged Account Feature
CyberQP, a provider of Privileged Access Management and Helpdesk Security Automation for Managed Service Providers (MSPs), has announced the release of Just-in-Time (JIT) privileged account creation for Active Directory. This new capability enables MSPs with more robust control over access to their privileged accounts. CyberQP has released a webinar dedicated to the process of creating these accounts and passwords on-demand when technicians need them.
With this new feature, CyberQP partners can temporarily enable and revoke privileged access as needed, offering an ideal solution for MSPs to limit exposure of their privileged accounts, prevent insider threats, and position themselves for co-managed IT agreements.
As small-and-medium sized businesses (SMBs) observe cyber criminals adopting identity-based tactics to target an organization’s administrative and privileged accounts, MSPs and SMBs need a scalable, dynamic solution that mitigates their risk and guarantees clear visibility into activity related to privileged accounts.
CyberQP’s JIT account creation feature empowers MSPs to create temporary privileged accounts for individual users, which automatically rotate credentials and disable themselves upon expiration. JIT accounts are organized to create an easy-to-track audit log that attributes activity to individual people, enhancing accountability and compliance.
“The MSP business model is insecure by default from a standing privilege perspective,” said Jimmy Hatzell, VP of Revenue at CyberQP, “So now there is a move to ‘zero standing privilege” using Just-In-Time Accounts. Basically instead of having all these accounts active, they are only created and activated when in use, with least privilege.”
CyberQP’s latest innovation follows an announcement that the company successfully raised an additional $12 million in funding.
