- Define Implementation Objectives: Align Delinea Secret Server deployment with organizational security goals, focusing on protecting privileged credentials and meeting compliance requirements.

- Secure Infrastructure Preparation: Ensure servers, databases, and network environments are configured for high availability, scalability, and compliance with best practices.

- Establish Role-Based Access Controls: Create a structured access hierarchy to limit privileged account access based on job roles and least-privilege principles.

- Phased Deployment and Integration: Roll out the vault incrementally, starting with high-risk systems, while integrating with existing IT and security tools (e.g., SIEM, IAM).

- Implement Monitoring and Auditing: Enable real-time monitoring, session recording, and automated audits to ensure compliance and detect unauthorized access attempts promptly.
