A global life sciences leader, operating across EMEA, APAC, and the Americas, had deployed an Idira environment marked by significant governance gaps and an opportunity to optermise at scale. Facing manual processes spread across operational teams and regions, the organisation selected Ignimission Protec to automate the full privileged account lifecycle, from onboarding through remediation.
If your organisation runs a multi-region CyberArk environment with manual onboarding and offboarding still in place, discover how Ignimission Protec can close those governance gaps.
Before implementing Ignimission Protec, the organisation ran a sizeable CyberArk estate spread across 3 regions, with no end-to-end automation between its CMDB, identity tools, and Idira.
Multiple constraints limited the organisation’s ability to govern its estate:
The Ignimission Protec deployment was self-hosted, with phases 1-3 delivered within 8 weeks.
The project unfolded across 5 phases:
A key factor to plan for early: opening network flows between Protec and third-party systems (Idira, Ansible, ServiceNow, SailPoint) benefits from being addressed with the security and network teams from day one, to keep the timeline on track.
Ignimission Protec now covers the organisation’s full privileged account lifecycle, with 8 use cases in production:
The primary business outcome has been the organisation’s ability to benefit from user adoption tripling in a year, resulting in a far broader security posture.
The Ignimission Protec deployment has also optimised and transformed the organisation’s PAM governance at global scale:
Several factors underpin the choice of Ignimission Protec for this deployment:

Ignimission Protec is a CyberArk lifecycle governance software, built for enterprise-scale PAM environments. It centralises discovery, onboarding, automation, and remediation of privileged accounts across multi-region environments, with native integration into the existing IAM/IGA ecosystem (SailPoint, LDAP) and operational tooling (CMDB, Ansible, ServiceNow).
How can you automate privileged account discovery and onboarding from a CMDB?
Continuous synchronisation between the CMDB and the PAM platform automatically detects new machines and triggers their onboarding without manual intervention. In this deployment, that automation cut CyberArk onboarding by a factor of 9.
How do you close the loop between identity governance (IGA) and privileged access management (PAM)?
Integrating an IGA tool like SailPoint with a PAM platform like CyberArk lets access request approvals trigger automatically within SLA, with no manual matching between the 2 systems. That is the model used in this multi-region deployment.
How do you prevent orphaned accounts in CyberArk after a machine is decommissioned?
Auto decommissioning, triggered as soon as a machine is retired from the CMDB, eliminates orphaned accounts without relying on periodic manual review. This automation guarantees zero orphaned credentials over time.
How do you handle CPM rotation failures on virtual machines powered off outside business hours?
Rotation failures caused by temporarily powered-off machines can be queued and retried automatically, with logic adapted to each region’s time zone. That is the approach used to cover teams spread across EMEA, APAC, and the Americas without time-zone-driven errors.
What time-to-value can you expect from a PAM deployment at the scale of a multi-region organisation?
A phased, self-hosted deployment can reach initial production in under 2 months, even for an environment spanning more than 80,000 accounts across multiple regions and teams, with no dedicated engineering team required.
How do you automate offboarding and remediation of non-compliant accounts in CyberArk?
Removing non-compliant accounts automatically in real time, combined with periodic cleanup of inactive users, eliminates the compliance backlog and reclaims licenses at scale without repeated manual intervention.
