Your vendors need access.
Not a foothold in your network.
Every contractor VPN account, every standing vendor login, every shared credential is an entry point you don't fully control. truePass Gate gives outside parties access to the exact application they need - identity-verified, time-boxed, and fully audited - over outbound 443 TLS, with no VPN account and no reach into the rest of your network.
Why it works.
Three ways outside access becomes your breach.
Some of the most damaging breaches start with a trusted third party. These are the gaps attackers exploit.
Standing access that never expires
Vendor VPN accounts and contractor logins are created once and rarely revoked. Months after a project ends, the credentials still work - sitting unused and unmonitored, waiting to be phished, sold, or reused in an attack.
Network access, not app access
A third party needs one application - but a VPN drops them onto the network with line-of-sight to far more. If that vendor is compromised, the attacker inherits everything the tunnel can reach, not just the system the vendor was hired to touch.
No record of who did what
Shared accounts, generic logins, and unmanaged devices make it impossible to say which individual accessed which system, when, and what they changed. When a third-party incident happens, the audit trail you need simply isn't there.
Third-party access shouldn't mean network access. Zero Trust means an outside party proves identity on every session, reaches exactly one authorized application, and leaves a complete audit trail - with nothing standing, nothing shared, and nothing exposed to the wider network.
One app. One session.
Zero standing access.
truePass Gate brokers third-party access to a single authorized application - never the network. Vendors, contractors, auditors and partners connect over outbound 443 TLS only, after proving identity with MFA. There's no VPN account to provision, no inbound port to expose, and no line-of-sight to anything beyond the one system they're cleared to use.
Access is time-boxed and policy-driven: granted for a defined window, scoped to specific actions, and revoked automatically when the session or engagement ends. Clientless for browser-based work, or client-based when a partner needs a richer protocol - every session identity-bound and fully recorded.
From identity check to audited session.
Identity & MFA
The third party authenticates against your directory (or a federated identity) with MFA and device posture check. Every individual is known - no shared or generic accounts.
Scoped grant
Policy grants access to one specific application for a defined time window - not the network. The vendor sees only what they're authorized to reach; everything else stays invisible.
Governed session
Access runs over outbound 443 TLS with per-request policy. Clipboard, file transfer, and actions are controlled - and the session can be recorded end to end.
Auto-expiry & audit
When the window closes, access ends automatically - nothing left standing. Every session is logged per-user and exported to Syslog, SIEM, and SOC platforms.
Three modules. One unified deployment.
Third-party access is enforced through truePass Gate, with Grid and Guard containing what a vendor can reach once a session is open.
Grants a vendor scoped, time-boxed access to a single application - never to the network - with the session revoked automatically when the maintenance window closes.
Contains a compromised vendor account to a single zone, so a supplier breach never becomes a path into production.
Governs the files vendors send or retrieve, with authorisation per action and CDR sanitisation on everything inbound.
Real third parties. Real control.
These are the situations where teams have replaced vendor VPNs and shared logins with truePass Gate.
Give a SaaS vendor or support engineer access to the one system they're troubleshooting - RDP, SSH, or a web console - for a defined window, with full session recording. No VPN account, no domain credentials, no lingering access after the ticket closes.
Let an equipment manufacturer reach a specific PLC, controller, or engineering workstation for a scheduled maintenance window - without a tunnel into the OT network. Time-boxed, identity-bound, and fully audited, so vendor access never becomes an open door.
Grant external auditors read-access to the exact systems and records in scope - nothing more - for the duration of the audit. Every action is logged, so you can prove precisely what was reviewed and when, then revoke access in one click.
Onboard a contractor or offshore team to the specific applications they need in minutes - from their own devices, clientless through the browser. Access is scoped per person, expires on the contract end date, and never touches the rest of your network.
What changes when you make the shift.
App access, not network access
Vendors reach one system - never a foothold in your network.
Time-boxed by default
Access expires automatically. Nothing left standing.
Per-person accountability
No shared logins. Every action tied to a named identity.
No VPN to provision
Clientless onboarding in minutes - from the vendor's own device.
Session recording & audit
Every third-party session logged and exportable to your SIEM.
Supply-chain risk reduced
A compromised vendor can't become a compromise of you.
Industries where this transition matters most.
Give third parties access
not a foothold.
