Privileged Access Management

The administrator accounts behind your core banking systems, vaulted, rotated and watched

Overview

What you are buying

Moraph resells, implements and runs CyberArk to control the privileged accounts that administer your core banking platform, databases, servers and network. CyberArk vaults and rotates the credentials, brokers and records administrator sessions, and requires approval where your policy says so. Moraph onboards the accounts, keeps the configuration aligned to your policy, watches the platform and its alerts, and gives your security team and auditors the evidence they ask for.

The problem it solves

The accounts that can change core banking configuration, read customer databases or rebuild servers are often the least controlled. Passwords are shared among administrators, kept in spreadsheets or scripts, and rarely changed. Vendors and contractors connect with standing access. When an examiner or auditor asks who used a domain administrator account on a given night and what they did, the answer depends on whoever remembers. Buying a privileged access platform fixes little on its own if nobody has time to find the accounts, onboard them and keep the policy current.

  • Shared administrator passwords that are rarely rotated and known to too many people
  • Service and application accounts with credentials hard-coded in scripts and configuration files
  • Vendor and contractor access that stays open after the work is done
  • No reliable record of what was done during an administrator session

Who uses it

  • CISOs and information security officers at banks, credit unions and other financial institutions
  • Infrastructure and core banking administrators who use privileged accounts every day
  • IT risk and compliance teams who answer access findings
  • Internal audit and examiners reviewing privileged access controls
  • Institutions that own a CyberArk licence but have not finished rolling it out

Requirements it supports

Interagency Guidelines Establishing Information Security Standards (12 CFR Part 364, Appendix B; 12 CFR Part 30, Appendix B)FTC Safeguards Rule under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (16 CFR Part 314)NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulation (23 NYCRR Part 500), including Section 500.7 on access privilegesFFIEC IT Examination Handbook, Information Security bookletSarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404 (internal control over financial reporting)PCI DSS v4.0 Requirements 7 and 8 (access control and authentication)

The product supports these requirements; meeting them remains your organization’s responsibility.

A short walkthrough

Illustrative screens of how Moraph runs the service, with fictional sample data. They are not screens of CyberArk itself, which belongs to its vendor.

  1. Step 1

    Onboarding tracker

    Onboarding runs in waves your security team approves, with each system's progress and blockers in view.

Workflows

The principal workflows

  1. Discover and onboard

    Moraph finds the privileged accounts across your core banking platform, servers, databases, network devices and cloud consoles, agrees an owner for each, and brings them into CyberArk in waves you approve.

    • CyberArk discovery scans and your own inventories identify privileged accounts
    • Each account is classified by system, type and risk, and given an owner
    • Your security team approves the onboarding wave and the safe it lands in
    • Moraph onboards the accounts and confirms CyberArk can verify and change each password
    • Hard-coded credentials found along the way are logged for remediation
  2. Request and use access

    Administrators request a credential or a session through CyberArk. Where your policy requires it, a safe owner approves the request before access is granted, and the session is brokered and recorded.

    • Administrator signs in through your identity provider with multi-factor authentication
    • Requests access to an account, with a reason or ticket number
    • Safe owner approves or rejects where dual control applies
    • CyberArk connects the session without revealing the password, and records it
    • Password is changed after use where one-time use is configured
  3. Rotate and verify

    CyberArk changes and verifies passwords on the schedule your policy sets. Moraph watches for rotations that fail and works them with your system owners until the account is back under management.

    • Rotation and verification run on the schedule in each platform policy
    • Failed changes and verifications raise an alert to Moraph
    • Moraph diagnoses the cause, such as a changed firewall rule or a locked account
    • Fix agreed with the system owner and applied
    • Account returned to managed status and the event recorded
  4. Monitor and evidence

    Moraph watches platform health and CyberArk's security alerts, triages them with your security operations team, and produces the access reviews and reports your auditors and examiners expect.

    • Platform health, rotation status and security alerts monitored by Moraph
    • Alerts triaged and passed to your security team with context
    • Recorded sessions available to authorized reviewers on request
    • Quarterly safe membership and account reviews prepared for certification
    • Monthly service review covers coverage, exceptions and open changes

How access is controlled

  • Nobody approves their own access request, and administering the vault is kept separate from membership of the safes that hold your credentials, including for Moraph engineers.
  • Roles are configured with you during implementation and can follow your identity provider's groups, so joiners, movers and leavers are handled by your existing process.
  • Every permission change, credential retrieval and session is recorded by CyberArk, and every change request and approval is recorded in Moraph's service portal.
  • Auditors and examiners receive temporary read-only access with a defined scope and an end date, granted by your information security officer.

Features

What it does

Credential vaulting

CyberArk stores privileged passwords and keys in its encrypted vault, organized into safes with their own members and permissions.

Automatic rotation

CyberArk changes and verifies passwords on the schedule set in each platform policy, so no administrator needs to know a standing password.

Session isolation and recording

Administrator sessions to servers, databases and consoles are brokered through CyberArk and recorded, so the password never reaches the administrator's workstation.

Dual control

For the accounts you choose, access requires a reason and an approval from a safe owner before CyberArk releases it.

Account discovery

Moraph runs CyberArk discovery across your environment and reconciles the results with your inventories so unmanaged privileged accounts are found and onboarded.

Application credentials

Where your applications and scripts use embedded passwords, CyberArk's credential provider lets them retrieve the credential at run time instead, onboarded by Moraph with your developers.

Vendor and third-party access

Contractors and vendors reach the systems they support through CyberArk with time-limited, approved and recorded access, rather than standing VPN accounts.

Policy baseline

Moraph documents the platform policies, safe design and approval rules that implement your access policy, and reviews the running configuration against that baseline.

Rotation exception handling

Accounts whose password change or verification fails are worked by Moraph with the system owner until they are back under management, and tracked until then.

Alert triage

CyberArk's security alerts, such as access outside the vault or unusual session activity, are triaged by Moraph and passed to your security team with the context needed to decide.

Access reviews

Safe membership, approver lists and account owners exported for periodic certification, with the results and removals recorded.

Change management

Every change to safes, policies and onboarding goes through a change request your team approves, tested in a non-production environment where one exists.

Security and privacy

How your data is protected

Single sign-on

Your staff sign in to CyberArk and to Moraph's service portal through your identity provider, so your password and multi-factor policies apply.

Moraph staff access

Moraph engineers reach your CyberArk environment through role-based access you approve, with their own sessions recorded, and cannot retrieve your privileged passwords without explicit, time-bound authorization.

Separation of duties

Safe design keeps vault administration separate from access to the credentials in the safes, so administering the platform does not mean seeing the passwords it holds.

Complete audit trail

CyberArk logs every credential retrieval, session and configuration change, and Moraph's service portal logs every change request, approval and alert decision.

Encryption

CyberArk encrypts the vault and its contents; Moraph's own service records are encrypted with keys staff cannot use without explicit, time-bound authorization.

Audited operations

Moraph is SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001 audited company-wide, and its service records are hosted in the United States, United Kingdom or Australia region you choose.

Company-wide controls, independent audits (SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001) and data residency are described in our Trust Center, where you can request the evidence pack.

Exports, access and evidence

  • Platform reports come from CyberArk itself; service reports such as exceptions, alert triage, changes and reviews come from Moraph's service portal.
  • Reports can be exported to CSV, and governance reports to PDF for audit and committee packs.
  • CyberArk audit events can be forwarded to your SIEM so privileged activity is reported alongside your other security data.
  • Reports respect each viewer's role: a safe owner sees their own safes, while the information security officer sees the whole service.
  • Running and exporting a report is itself recorded, and auditors can be given read-only access to reports within a defined scope.

Deployment

Where and how it runs

CyberArk Privilege Cloud

The vault runs as CyberArk's software-as-a-service, with connectors in your environment, configured and operated by Moraph.

Self-hosted

CyberArk components run in your data center or cloud account, installed and maintained by Moraph under your change process.

Existing CyberArk estate

If you already own CyberArk, Moraph can take over operations of the existing deployment after a baseline review.

Security controls, independent audits and data residency are set out in our Trust Center. Engagement models and what drives a quotation are on Working with Moraph.

Implementation

What a rollout involves

The general phases are on Working with Moraph. For this product, they involve the following.

Discovery and design

We review your access policy, systems and existing CyberArk components, if any, and agree the safe design, platform policies and approval rules. We need your policy documents and contacts for each major system.

Platform setup

CyberArk is provisioned as Privilege Cloud or installed in your environment, connected to your identity provider and SIEM, and configured to the agreed baseline.

Pilot

A small set of accounts and administrators goes first, so rotation, session brokering and approvals are proven before wider rollout.

Onboarding waves

Accounts are onboarded in waves you approve, starting with the highest-risk systems such as core banking administration and domain administrator accounts.

Training

Administrators learn to request and use access through CyberArk, and safe owners learn to approve and certify; your security team learns how alerts and reports reach them.

Transition to managed service

Once onboarding is complete, the service moves into steady-state operations with monitoring, change management and monthly service reviews.

Limitations

What it does not do

Worth knowing before you evaluate it.

  • Moraph is not CyberArk. Moraph resells, implements and operates the platform; CyberArk develops it and is responsible for its software and cloud service.
  • CyberArk's own service commitments, product roadmap and any outages of its cloud service apply. Moraph does not change them.
  • Licences are subject to CyberArk's terms, which you accept as part of the purchase.
  • Some systems cannot have passwords rotated automatically, for example older platforms without a supported connector. These are documented as exceptions with a compensating control your institution approves.
  • Removing hard-coded credentials from applications needs your developers to change the application; Moraph identifies them and supports the change.
  • Moraph does not decide who should hold privileged access. Your institution sets the policy and approves access and exceptions.
  • Moraph triages alerts from the platform but does not replace your security operations center or incident response team.
  • Session recordings are kept for the period your policy sets and the platform's storage allows; longer retention needs additional storage.

Evaluation checklist

What to test in a demonstration or pilot

Questions worth putting to us, and to any other vendor you are considering.

  1. List the privileged accounts on your core banking platform and ask how each would be onboarded
  2. Watch an administrator request, receive approval for and use an account without seeing its password
  3. Review a sample configuration baseline and how differences are reported
  4. Walk through how a failed rotation is detected, worked and closed
  5. Confirm what Moraph engineers can and cannot access in your vault
  6. Read the responsibilities table with your vendor management team

Questions

Frequently asked questions

We already own CyberArk. Can Moraph run it?

Yes. Moraph starts with a baseline review of your existing deployment, agrees what needs fixing, and then takes over operations under the same change and reporting model.

Can Moraph staff see our privileged passwords?

Not by default. Moraph engineers administer the platform without membership of the safes that hold your credentials. Any exception needs your explicit, time-bound authorization and is recorded.

Who do we call when CyberArk is down?

Moraph. We diagnose the issue, fix what is in our scope, and open and manage the case with CyberArk when the cause is in their software or cloud service.

How is it priced?

The CyberArk licence is resold under CyberArk's terms, with Moraph's implementation and managed service priced separately, usually by the number of accounts and systems in scope. See Working with Moraph for what drives a quotation.

Does this satisfy our examiners on privileged access?

It gives you the controls and the evidence: vaulted and rotated credentials, approvals, session records and access reviews. Whether your program meets expectations remains your institution's judgment and the examiner's.

What happens to our configuration if we leave?

The platform and its configuration are yours under your CyberArk licence. Moraph hands over the baseline documentation, runbooks and open items as set out in the contract.
