Ramp Contracts with Zero Standing Privilege

Zero Standing Privilege (ZSP) means no permanent access. Developers, contractors, and automation scripts get entry only when they need it, for exactly as long as they need it, and nothing more. This cuts risk at the root. No lingering credentials. No open ports waiting for an attacker to try the handle.

Ramp Contracts enforce ZSP by binding access to explicit, verifiable requests. Before any action runs, a contract defines who can do what, on which systems, and under what conditions. These rules are stored centrally, versioned like code, and signed off before execution. Once the task is complete, the privilege expires automatically.

Traditional admin accounts and static keys leave gaps. Even with MFA, a compromised account can give attackers broad, silent control. Ramp Contracts remove that vector. Access is temporary, precise, and scoped to the smallest possible surface.

With Zero Standing Privilege, audits become clear. Every access event has a signed contract linked to it. No shadow admins. No forgotten permissions from a project three years ago. Just a clean ledger of what happened, when, and why. Compliance checks that once took days can now be answered in minutes, with evidence built in.

Security teams gain predictability. Engineering teams keep speed. You cut exposure without slowing delivery. Policies change in code reviews, not tribal meetings. And the system enforces itself — no one “just happens” to have access anymore.

Attackers can’t use what isn’t there. Ramp Contracts with Zero Standing Privilege make that principle real.
