Protect and secure your identities across the entire organisation

Identity is now the control plane. Credential abuse and phishing sit among the most common ways attackers gain their first foothold, and privileged accounts remain the shortest path from that foothold to material impact.

The problem is no longer just people. Machine and non-human identities — service accounts, API keys, application secrets, certificates, workloads, containers and now AI agents — vastly outnumber human users in most enterprises, and industry analysis in 2026 puts that ratio as high as eighty to one. They are created faster than they are governed, they rarely have named owners, and they are almost never rotated on a schedule anyone can evidence.

Meanwhile, the operational ground is shifting. Public TLS certificate lifetimes are being cut in stages to 47 days by March 2029, which makes manual certificate renewal untenable. Autonomous AI agents are being granted access to production systems faster than identity governance can keep up. And Australian regulators now expect demonstrable control over privileged access, not just a policy that describes it.

Avocado builds identity security programs that reduce standing privilege, bring every high-risk credential under control, automate the machine identity lifecycle, and produce audit-ready evidence.  Explore our solutions

Identity security challenges we solve

  • Standing privilege everywhere where administrators hold permanent elevated rights that are never used but always exploitable
  • Unknown privileged accounts, orphaned service accounts and shared administrator credentials with no named owner
  • Hard-coded secrets and API keys in source control, pipeline variables, configuration files and container images
  • Secrets sprawl and vault sprawl where multiple credential stores that no single team can govern centrally
  • No authoritative inventory of certificates, and outages caused by expiries nobody was tracking
  • Manual certificate renewal processes that cannot survive shortened validity periods
  • Insufficient session monitoring and audit evidence to satisfy internal audit or a regulator
  • Development and security teams unable to track secrets usage, so controls get bypassed rather than adopted
  • A privileged access platform that was deployed but never fully onboarded, delivering a fraction of its intended value

Our Identity Security Solutions

Avocado’s Identity Security solutions provide a comprehensive approach to Identity Security, combining strategic planning, technical expertise, and hands-on implementation based on industry standards and best practice 

Safeguard digital identities, mitigate risks, and ensure resilient protection against evolving cyber threats with strategy and advisory. 

Combined Solution and Delivery Approach

Identity Security Strategy, Architecture and Posture Management

Tools do not create outcomes; sequencing and adoption do. We define where you are, where you need to be, and the shortest defensible path between the two — then stay to make it real.

  • Identity security maturity assessment (ISMA) — current-state review against a recognised framework, with a view of gaps and a prioritised remediation roadmap.
  • Identity security posture management (ISPM) — continuous visibility of identity growth, excessive entitlements, dormant accounts and standing privilege across your identity estate.
  • Zero trust and identity fabric architecture — reference architecture, policy and role models, and integration design across directories, cloud platforms and applications.
  • Identity threat detection and response (ITDR) — identity-centric detection use cases, session monitoring, and integration with your SIEM and security operations capability.
  • Governance and compliance alignment — control mapping, evidence design and audit readiness across the frameworks that apply to you.

Privileged Access Management

Privileged accounts remain the shortest path from an initial foothold to material impact. We build modern PAM programs that reduce and eliminate standing privilege, put every high-risk credential and session under control, and produce compliance-ready evidence — without blocking the people who keep your systems running.

  • Assessment and strategy — privileged account discovery, control-gap analysis against a recognised framework, target operating model, and a prioritised roadmap with effort and sequencing.
  • Architecture and build — resilient vault architecture, high availability and disaster recovery design, platform hardening, and integration with your identity directory, SIEM and ITSM tooling.
  • Onboarding at scale — account discovery and classification, credential rotation, privileged session management and isolation, and access workflow policies, run as repeatable onboarding waves.
  • Privilege reduction — least privilege and endpoint privilege management, just-in-time and zero standing privilege models, break-glass design, and administrative workflow redesign.

Secrets Management and Non-Human Identity Security

Application secrets sprawl faster than any other credential type. They end up in source control, pipeline variables, configuration files and container images, are shared between development teams, and are rarely rotated. We remove hard-coded secrets from applications and replace them with centralised vaulting and short-lived, auditable workload identity access.

  • Secrets discovery and triage — scanning of source repositories, pipelines, configuration stores and container images. Findings are classified by exposure and blast radius, then sequenced for remediation.
  • Platform design and build — centralised secrets platform architecture, namespace and access model, high availability design, and integration with your existing vaults rather than forced consolidation.
  • Application remediation — refactoring applications to retrieve secrets at runtime, with proven patterns for containers, serverless functions, CI/CD pipelines, RPA and traditional application servers.
  • Non-human and AI agent identity — lifecycle governance for service accounts, workload identities and autonomous agents: ownership, attestation, scoped entitlements, short-lived credentials and revocation.
  • Developer enablement — self-service patterns, reference implementations, pipeline templates and guardrails, so teams adopt the platform because it is easier, not because it is mandated.

Machine Identity Management and Certificate Lifecycle Automation

Machines now vastly outnumber people in the enterprise, and every one of them needs an identity. Certificates are the most operationally urgent case: with public TLS validity shortening in stages to 47 days by March 2029, manual renewal stops being viable well before the deadline. We provide the centralised inventory, automation and governance needed to absorb that change without outages.

  • Discovery and inventory — certificate discovery across public and private networks, machines, cloud keystores, TLS endpoints and Kubernetes clusters, consolidated into one authoritative inventory with named owners.
  • Lifecycle automation — policy-driven issuance, renewal, deployment and post-deployment validation, integrated with load balancers, web tiers, cloud keystores and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Crypto-agility readiness — preparation for shortened validity phases, certificate authority distrust events, algorithm deprecation and post-quantum migration — rehearsed rather than assumed.
