PowerShell
under Control
When automation
grows faster than control
PowerShell scripts are small programs that automate administrative tasks in Windows environments: creating users, configuring servers, starting backups, distributing software.
They are often created pragmatically, for individual tasks, projects, or teams. Over time, they are reused, adapted, and executed automatically.
What is missing is a central view of which scripts exist, who uses them, what they do, and whether they are secure.
Transparency before control
Our approach to PowerShell scripts follows the same principle as with VBA macros: First, understand what is present. Then, assess risks. Then, enable controlled execution. Adapted to the requirements of modern IT environments.
Create transparency
All existing PowerShell scripts are identified and centrally recorded. This provides a complete overview of deployed automations, their usage contexts, and responsibilities.
Assess
risks
Scripts are analyzed and categorized: What permissions do they use? Which functions are critical? This enables targeted measures instead of blanket restrictions.
Establish control
The execution of PowerShell scripts is clearly regulated. Only reviewed and approved scripts may be used productively. Traceable and documented.
Secure changes
Changes to scripts are detected and must be re-evaluated. This ensures automation remains secure and manageable in the long term.
