Remote access tools manage who logs in, but the connection itself often remains available between jobs.

The supplier finished on Tuesday. Their connection is still open on Friday.
Supplier and vendor connections that exist only for approved work, then close when the work ends.

14 industry Blueprints
Assessed for your environment
01 · The problem
Third-Party Access Control: what goes wrong.
Suppliers, managed service providers and equipment vendors need access to do their work. Nobody leaves that access open on purpose, but the engineer finishes, the ticket closes and the connection stays ready for the next visit.
Why existing controls may leave it open
Supplier modems, cellular routers and alternative routes can bypass the approved route.
Without a named sponsor, it is hard to show why access existed and who approved it.
02 · Firevault's approach
Control the selected connections.
Firevault agrees with you which supplier connections exist, who sponsors them and what work they serve. The connection is available for approved work in a defined window, then physically withdrawn when the work ends or approval is withdrawn.
03 · Before and with Control
See the connections change.
The connections that were always available, and their intended state once Control is in place. Your own design depends on your environment.
- Supplier remote accessAlways connected
- Urgent support routeAlways connected
- Unapproved modem or routerAlways connected
A simplified concept, not a network design. Device placement, connections and operating sequences are designed for your environment in Control Studio.
Request a Studio design session04 · The outcome
What changes for you.
What this Plan does not do: This Plan does not assess the supplier device, inspect session content or replace identity, privileged access and contract controls.
- Supplier connections exist for approved work only.
- Access closes when the window ends.
- You can show who approved each session and why.
05 · Where it applies
Industries where this Plan fits.
Each industry Blueprint applies this Plan to its own systems, dependencies and safety considerations.

06 · Your environment
How many supplier connections into your environment are open right now, and who approved them?
Firevault reviews the connections in your own environment with the people who own them, then designs the Plan for you in Control Studio.
