New Feature: Local Admin & UAC Remediation

Privileged Access You Can’t See Is Privileged Access You Can’t Control. Privileged accounts multiply quickly across servers, endpoints, SaaS apps, and legacy systems. Over time, you’re left with:
  • Unknown and unused admin accounts
  • Orphaned accounts from past employees or contractors
  • Over-provisioned access nobody remembers granting
Attackers love this chaos. One forgotten account is all it takes for credential theft, lateral movement, and data loss.

Privileged Remediation in Action

Understanding the risks is one thing, seeing how quickly you can remediate them is another. In this walkthrough, we show how QGuard identifies excessive local admin rights and unsafe UAC settings, then guides you through fixing them without slowing down operations.

Reduce Endpoint Risk Before Privileged Access Is Granted

See Local Admin Risk Instantly

Get immediate visibility into who has local administrator rights on every agented system. Identify unnecessary or forgotten admin access without running scripts or digging through RMM workflows, so you know exactly where risk exists before attackers do.

Remediate Safely at Scale

Remove excess local admin rights individually or in bulk while excluding required accounts like break-glass users. Update User Account Control (UAC) settings across one device or hundreds at once all from CyberQP.

Prepare Endpoints for PAM Success

Unnecessary admin access and misaligned UAC settings can stall privileged access rollouts. By cleaning up endpoints first, teams can confidently move forward with elevation policies, reduce friction for users, and ensure PAM works as intended from day one.

Automated Privileged Account Discovery & Remediation.

QGuard automatically discovers every privileged account across your environment: local admins, domain admins, service accounts, and shadow identities. We then give you clear visibility into what’s unknown. With fast risk auditing and guided remediation, you can right-size privileges, remove toxic access, and safely clean up inherited accounts from M&A without disrupting the business.
