Aligning PAM to the Regulatory Horizon

Regulators are no longer passive on identity risk.

New UK and EU directives demand robust governance over digital identities, especially privileged ones. PAM is fast becoming a compliance cornerstone.

Where PAM Supports Regulation

• NIS2: Risk management, incident containment, identity governance

• DORA: ICT risk, operational resilience, third-party access

• GDPR: Data protection by design, access minimisation

• FCA/PRA: Operational resilience and control assurance

Executive Outcome: Assured Compliance Position

PAM provides a provable control that aligns with:

• Regulatory frameworks

• Audit readiness

• Legal defensibility

Takeaway: PAM is not just a control—it’s a path to regulatory assurance.
