Use Case
Access security for compliance
Prove strong authentication, access control, and login policy enforcement across your Windows environment. UserLock helps you meet regulatory and cyber insurance requirements by enforcing and recording every Windows login, with integration options for SIEM and API-based reporting.
The challenge of proving access compliance
Regulations and frameworks increasingly require MFA and access monitoring, but native AD tools fall short.
Without UserLock, IT teams struggle to:
Enforce strong authentication consistently
Monitor and log every access attempt
Produce tamper-proof login reports for auditors
How UserLock supports compliance
UserLock secures and records every Windows login using your existing Active Directory. Meet major cybersecurity compliance standards with multi-factor authentication (MFA) and contextual login policies. Generate detailed reports so you're always audit-ready.
Go beyond ticking a compliance box

)
Apply MFA to verify AD identities
Meet strong authentication requirements for major regulations such as ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI, and NIS2. Enforce MFA for interactive and remote sessions, and for UAC prompts. Support for hardware keys, mobile push, and HOTP/TOTP ensures flexibility.
)
)
Extend strong authentication to SaaS access
Enable single sign-on (SSO) for AD identities to extend on-prem authentication from local systems to SaaS resources. Users enter their password once at login, complete strong authentication, and gain access to SaaS apps.
)
)
Set context-based access controls
Prevent credential misuse by limiting where, when, and how privileged users can log in. Restrict access by device, workstation, IP range, or time. Limit concurrent logins and sessions.
)
)
Monitor and react to activity
See all Active Directory network access as it happens. Set up alerts to detect and remotely respond to threats.
)
)
Audit access to network and SaaS resources
Track and record all AD user account access (and access attempts). Cut the noise with powerful filters, and save personalized views.
)
)
Report on policy and enforcement
Record and report on all login attempts, session details, MFA events, and admin actions. Create custom reports, and filter logs by user, policy, or event type to streamline investigations.
Why IT teams choose UserLock to achieve compliance
Strong authentication
Implement MFA across all users, even when they don't have an internet connection or don't connect to the network.
Effective access controls
Layer context-based access controls to resrict logons by workstation, IP address, time of day, geolocation, concurrent logons, or simultaneous sessions.
Critical workflows stay on prem
Satisfy regulatory requirements that mandate keeping identity and authentication workflows on prem.
Granular policies
MFA and access control policies follow AD users, groups, and OUs, making setup easy and audits clean.
Visibility and accountability
Tie each access event to a single AD identity. See who logged on, when, and how.
Audit ready
Reduce the effort and cost of access control audits. UserLock automates enforcement and streamlines reporting.
