Case Study: Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton achieves tighter privileged access control and minimizes user disruption with BeyondTrust PowerBroker for Windows

Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton Deploys Privileged Access & Minimizes User Disruption

Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton, Quebec’s largest independent accounting firm with more than 2,500 professionals, faced a growing IT challenge as rapid expansion left many workstations and laptops with varied access levels and legacy applications. The IT team needed a scalable, enterprise-wide way to tighten privileged access, remove unnecessary admin rights, and enforce consistent security and compliance — all without disrupting remote employees’ productivity.

After a proof-of-concept, RCGT deployed BeyondTrust PowerBroker for Windows to enforce least-privilege by application. The solution, backed by strong vendor support, eliminated broad admin rights, sped enterprise application deployment, and provided visibility into app usage so the support team could manage and remove unused software. As a result, RCGT achieved a more stable, compliant environment while keeping employees productive and minimizing implementation disruption.
