Case Study: Statens Arkiver achieves reduced breach risk and tighter privilege control with BeyondTrust PowerBroker

Statens Arkiver - Customer Case Study

Statens Arkiver (the Danish National Archives) implemented BeyondTrust after research by TechValidate to reduce the risk of security breaches and tighten operational practices. Their main challenges were removing local admin rights from users, providing elevation only when needed, and ensuring privileged activities were logged, audited and reportable to support ISO27001 compliance.

They deployed PowerBroker for Windows to enforce least privilege and centralize auditing, which removed standing admin rights, enabled just‑in‑time elevation, and produced the needed logs and reports. The organization reports strong confidence in the solution—“[BeyondTrust PowerBroker] has taken the guesswork out of privilege management”—and plans to explore other BeyondTrust products and address privileged password control as their next project.
