At the application level, users and endpoints are protected with multiple security features.
Request and Approval Layer
Access requests must be approved by a designated administrator. Role-based access controls and MFA help enforce compliance with frameworks like HIPAA, ISO 27001, and NIST by ensuring only authorized personnel gain elevated privileges.
Threat Detection Layer
All elevated actions are monitored in real time. Files and commands are scanned using 37+ anti-malware engines through OPSWAT Metadefender, supporting data protection and breach prevention requirements.
Logging and Auditability Layer
Every session is logged, including who request access, what actions were taken, and who approved them. Real-time alerts notify security teams of suspicious activity, helping meet audit and documentation obligations.
Seamless Integration. Minimal Disruption.
No infrastructure overhaul required. Rapid rollout, immediate protection.

Can Admin By Request help prevent audit failures?
Yes, Admin By Request can significantly reduce the risk of audit failures. One of the most common reasons organizations fail audits is due to insufficient access controls or incomplete logging of privileges activity. Admin By Request addresses these issues by providing detailed, tamper-proof records of every elevated session. It tracks who requested access, when it was approved, and what actions were taken during the session. This level of visibility ensures that auditors have clear evidence of access policies being followed and enables your organization to demonstrate compliance confidently.
Does Admin By Request offer reporting tools for compliance?
Yes, Admin By Request includes powerful reporting tools designed to support compliance efforts. Administrators can review historical data on privilege elevation, track user activity across devices, and analyze patterns over time. The platform allows users to generate comprehensive reports that are easy to interpret and export, which is especially useful during internal audits or regulatory reviews. These reports help demonstrate that access policies are being enforced consistently and provide valuable insights into security posture and compliance readiness.
