Start the scoping call before your next audit cycle. The privileged-account drift you have not measured is the finding the auditor will write up.

₹250 Cr
That is the maximum penalty a data fiduciary can take under the DPDP Act for a single breach. A weak privileged-access posture is the most common root cause of mid-market BFSI breaches. ARCON gives the audit team the evidence they need before the regulator writes the letter.

What makes ARCON PAM the Indian default
Built in Mumbai, billed in INR
ARCON Techsolutions is headquartered in Mumbai. The product road map is run from India. The support team picks up the phone in IST. The bill is in INR with no forex surprise at renewal. For a regulated Indian buyer, that lowers procurement friction and shortens the security review.
The engineering team also ships custom connectors quickly. If your core banking platform or ERP needs a non-standard target, the request lands with people in the same time zone.

Password vault
Privileged credentials live in an encrypted vault. No admin types a root password again. Rotation runs on schedule.
Core SKU
Session recording
Every privileged session is recorded with searchable command logs. The auditor stops chasing tickets.
Built-in
Just-in-time access
Admin rights are granted for the work window, then revoked. Standing privilege drops to near zero.
Standard
Audit reports
RBI cyber resilience and SEBI CSCRF-shaped reports export in a click. The control narrative writes itself.

Where ARCON fits Indian compliance
The DPDP Act caps breach penalties at ₹250 Cr. The RBI cyber resilience framework for SCBs, NBFCs, and UCBs lists privileged-access controls. SEBI CSCRF asks market intermediaries for the same. ARCON ships the evidence in a shape the auditor expects.
Privileged account inventory
ARCON discovers root, sa, and admin accounts across Windows, Linux, AIX, network devices, databases, and cloud consoles. The list your CISO did not have, in 48 hours.
Discovery
Vault and rotate
Credentials move into the vault. Rotation runs on a policy clock. No admin retains a static root password. That alone removes the most common audit finding.
Vault
Session recording with command audit
Every privileged session is captured. Commands are searchable. A regulator asking “who ran what on Friday at 11:42” gets an answer in minutes, not days.
Audit
Just-in-time and break-glass
Standing admin rights are removed. Access is requested, approved, and time-bound. Emergency break-glass is logged with a video trail. Least privilege becomes operational, not aspirational.

ARCON vs CyberArk vs BeyondTrust vs Sirius Star alternatives
ARCON is not the only PAM we deploy. The honest call depends on your auditor preference, your identity stack, and your global footprint.
CyberArk is the global category leader. It wins at large multinationals with US-led security teams, deep PAM maturity, and the budget for tier-1 licensing. The Gartner Magic Quadrant cites CyberArk as a Leader in PAM year after year.
BeyondTrust fits midmarket buyers who want PAM plus secure remote support in one console. Strong fit for IT-services firms running pan-India MSP operations.
We also deploy Bitdefender GravityZone for the endpoint layer and CrowdStrike Falcon for premium EDR. PAM sits upstream of the endpoint, the identity, and the data layer. The right answer is rarely one tool. The right answer is the right tool at each layer.

How a Sirius Star ARCON engagement runs
ARCON PAM India from Sirius Star is procurement, deployment, target onboarding, and managed PAM operations for Indian BFSI, manufacturing, and IT-services firms. Delivered from Vashi, Navi Mumbai. Same-week vault build, RBI-aligned policy rollout, and a quarterly retainer included.
- Free 8-hour scoping call and privileged-account inventory
- Vault build and top-20 critical-server onboarding in week one
- Finance, HR, and database admin onboarding in week two
- Branch office and DR site coverage in week three
- Quarterly retainer with access reviews, policy tuning, and audit-log exports
- DLP layer paired through Secure Data Guard for finance and HR data
If your privileged-user count is under 10 and you only need an SSH bastion, ARCON is too heavy. We will tell you so. If your team already pays for CyberArk Privilege Cloud and the contract has 18 months to run, switching costs more than it saves. We run the math openly in the review.
Pair ARCON PAM with the rest of the security stack
PAM is upstream of the endpoint, the data, and the identity layer. The full posture needs all four. Start with the Cloud and Cybersecurity hub for our complete catalogue.

ARCON PAM India FAQ
What is ARCON PAM and why does it fit Indian BFSI?
ARCON PAM is an Indian-built privileged access management platform. It covers password vaulting, session recording, just-in-time access, and command control. It fits Indian BFSI because the product is developed in Mumbai, the data stays on-premise or in your India tenant, and the RBI cyber resilience audit team already recognises the vendor. Sirius Star deploys ARCON for cooperative banks, NBFCs, brokerages, and large manufacturing groups that need a domestic vendor. Pair it with Bitdefender GravityZone at the endpoint.
What does ARCON PAM India pricing look like in 2026?
ARCON is licensed per-privileged-user per-year. On-premise perpetual and SaaS subscription options exist. The price band sits below CyberArk and BeyondTrust for equivalent feature sets. That is why Indian BFSI buyers shortlist it. Final price depends on user count, server count, and whether you take the managed retainer. We share a written 24-month TCO inside the posture review. Pricing is on-request because the seat band and term length change the slope.
ARCON vs CyberArk vs BeyondTrust for an Indian buyer?
ARCON wins on India data residency, INR billing without forex exposure, and a local engineering team that ships custom connectors quickly. CyberArk wins on global feature depth and is the default at large multinationals with US-led security teams. BeyondTrust wins at midmarket buyers who want one console for PAM plus remote support. The honest call lives in the posture review and depends on your auditor preference and existing identity stack.
How does ARCON map to RBI cyber resilience and SEBI CSCRF?
The RBI cyber resilience framework for SCBs, NBFCs, and UCBs calls for privileged-user identification, session monitoring, and least-privilege enforcement. SEBI CSCRF asks regulated market intermediaries for the same. ARCON ships out-of-the-box reports that mirror these control statements. The audit narrative shortens. Sirius Star runs the quarterly evidence export.
How does a Sirius Star ARCON rollout actually run?
Week one is a free 8-hour scoping call and a read-only privileged-account inventory. Week two is vault build, target onboarding for the top-20 critical servers, and session-recording test. Week three is finance, HR, and database admin onboarding. Week four is branch and DR site coverage. A quarterly retainer keeps policy tuning, access reviews, and DPDP audit-log exports moving without finance-team disruption.
One ARCON retainer. Every privileged user. Every audit.
Free 8-hour scoping call. Read-only privileged-account inventory of your current admin sprawl, session-logging gaps, and RBI evidence readiness. Written report inside one business day with the on-prem versus SaaS split, the 24-month TCO, and the pan-India rollout calendar.

P.S. A cooperative bank CTO in Pune told us last quarter he was three months from his RBI cyber resilience audit and still tracking root passwords in a spreadsheet. We ran the scoping call on Tuesday. Wednesday the inventory landed. By the next Monday the vault was live for the top 20 servers. The audit team did not write up privileged access.
