London, UK, February 9, 2026 – Heimdal today announced an industry-first approach to Cyber Essentials readiness by publishing a Cyber Essentials control mapping for Privilege Elevation and Delegation Management (PEDM), helping organisations and MSPs enforce least privilege and evidence stronger control over administrative access. Privileged access remains one of the most exploited paths in modern cyber incidents.
