Admin rights and misconfigured endpoints are two of the easiest ways for risk to enter your organization and two of the hardest challenges to control without slowing people down. Today, Syteca expands its inside security platform with two new products: Syteca Endpoint Risk and Compliance Control (ERCC) and Privilege Elevation and Delegation Management (PEDM).
PEDM brings endpoint privilege management to Windows workstations and servers, allowing users to receive administrator rights only for approved tasks, under clearly defined rules. Syteca ERCC delivers continuous compliance monitoring, endpoint risk visibility, AI governance, and guided remediation to help your organization identify security gaps before they become attack paths.
New functionalities at a glance
PEDM can help your organization enforce least privilege without interrupting daily work. Instead of keeping users as permanent local administrators or routing every request through IT, your team can now define exactly which actions receive elevated access, when, and under what conditions.
Syteca ERCC gives your security and IT teams a clearer view of endpoint security and compliance gaps across your environment. It continuously evaluates device configurations, security controls, AI tool use, and policy adherence, then prioritizes what needs attention.
What’s new on the Syteca Inside Security Platform
Privilege Elevation and Delegation Management (PEDM)
- Implement just-in-time admin rights to reduce exposure
- Enforce least privilege without blocking legitimate work
- Automate trusted elevation and govern sensitive requests
- Block unapproved applications from running with elevated rights
- Require user justification and approver validation for sensitive actions
- Keep a complete audit trail of privilege elevation decisions
Endpoint Risk and Compliance Control (ERCC)
- Continuously monitor endpoint health and catch configuration drift
- Score risk for every endpoint and department
- Run automated compliance checks
- Detect AI tools and flag out-of-policy usage
- Fix every finding with step-by-step remediation guidance
- Flag endpoints connecting from high-risk regions
Our customers already rely on Syteca to control privileged access and gain visibility into what happens during critical sessions. With PEDM and ERCC, we are extending that control directly to the endpoint, governing which actions get elevated privileges and helping teams identify security or compliance gaps before they lead to incidents. And because both products run on the same lightweight agent and management console, customers can activate the protection they need without adding new operational complexity.

Together, the new products extend Syteca’s security controls beyond privileged access and into the endpoint itself. Customers can now manage privileged access, monitor sessions, detect identity threats, control elevation, and assess endpoint security posture through a single unified platform.
What Syteca PEDM solves
Enforce least privilege
Eliminate IT bottlenecks
Reduce the attack surface
Get a full audit trail
Organizations often face an uncomfortable choice: keep users as local administrators and accept greater exposure, or restrict administrator access, which can create delays for employees and IT teams. PEDM removes that trade-off.
With Syteca, you can now remove local admin rights while still allowing employees, support teams, and other approved users to complete legitimate administrative tasks. Access is granted for a specific action, for a limited time, and according to the policies defined by the security team.
A user starts an application, installer, script, or other action that requires administrator rights.
Syteca PEDM evaluates the request against the rules defined by your security team.
Based on the policy, Syteca automatically elevates a trusted action, routes a sensitive request for approval, or blocks an unapproved or risky action.
Syteca logs every approval and denial decision in the audit trail. When enabled, elevated activity can also be recorded to support investigations and compliance reviews.
PEDM helps turn ad-hoc “run as admin” requests into a governed, auditable workflow. It reduces the attack surface created by standing privileges while keeping routine software installation, updates, support, and troubleshooting work moving.
Syteca PEDM allows you to:
Support just-in-time elevation: Provide administrator rights only for the approved task and duration, instead of leaving privileged access in place.
Silently elevate trusted applications: Automatically allow approved applications to run with elevated rights based on policy, optionally limited to specific days, hours, or business periods.
Route sensitive actions for approval: Require users to provide a justification, notify approvers by email, and have approved applications launched through Syteca Access Center.
Block unauthorized software: Stop unapproved applications from gaining elevated access and provide users with a clear custom message explaining the next step.
Target rules with precision: Create rules based on file hash, executable name, path prefix, digital signature, or command-line parameters.
Use vaulted credentials: Run approved actions under securely stored credentials managed by Syteca’s workforce password manager.
Maintain complete visibility: Log every allow, approval, and denial decision, with optional recording of elevated sessions for deeper investigation.
How Syteca ERCC protects endpoints
Identify security gaps early
Govern AI tool use
Detect compliance misalignments
Focus remediation efforts
Security controls can be disabled, configurations can change, and unapproved tools can appear on endpoints without anyone noticing. In many cases, your organization may only discover these gaps during an audit or after an incident.
Syteca ERCC continuously checks endpoints for risks that make attacks possible in the first place. It can help your team identify configuration drift across operating system settings, security controls, registry values, services, and policies while the issue is still easy to address.
A lightweight Syteca agent continuously gathers endpoint data from OS settings, security controls, registry entries, services, and policies.
Syteca analyzes security indicators to calculate an endpoint health score and prioritize the most important findings.
The platform checks endpoint configurations against applicable compliance requirements, corporate policies, and AI usage rules.
For every detected issue, Syteca provides prioritized, step-by-step remediation guidance on what needs attention and how to resolve it.
As a key pillar of continuous controls monitoring (CCM), Syteca ERCC also supports broader governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) initiatives. With Syteca ERCC, your team can assess endpoint compliance against applicable SOC 2 core criteria, corporate security baselines, AI usage policies, and other organization-defined directives that can be validated through endpoint telemetry.
Syteca ERCC allows you to:
Run automated compliance checks: Continuously assess compliance with SOC 2 requirements verifiable by endpoint telemetry, corporate security baselines, and your AI usage policies.
Monitor endpoint health: Track security controls, OS settings, registry values, and services across endpoints to identify policy gaps.
Detect AI tools in use: Discover desktop applications, browser extensions, IDE plugins, agents, and chatbots, then flag activity that falls outside your policies.
Score risk by endpoint and department: Review transparent risk scores and see every factor contributing to the score result.
Guide teams through remediation: Receive step-by-step fixes for every finding in plain language with actions prioritized based on severity.
Enforce geolocation policies: Detect endpoints connecting from sanctioned or high-risk regions.
Surface deep-dive telemetry: Bring together antivirus status, browser extensions, registry settings, resource usage, and other endpoint data in one up-to-date view.
How PEDM and ERCC work together
Syteca PEDM answers a practical access question: Who can run what with administrator rights, when, and under which rules?
Syteca ERCC answers an equally important security question: Is this endpoint secure and meets organizational policies?
Together with Syteca’s privileged access management (PAM), workforce password management, session monitoring, and identity threat detection and response (ITDR) capabilities, these products give organizations deeper control over privileged activity and endpoint risk.
PAM and session monitoring help understand who accessed a system and what they did; PEDM governs privileged actions on the device; Syteca ERCC helps verify that the device itself remains securely configured.
Syteca brings multiple inside security capabilities together in one platform. Instead of deploying separate tools for each use case, you can roll out the platform once and enable the products that align with your current security priorities through licensing.
