Whether you’re protecting corporate resources, ensuring regulatory compliance, or simplifying IT administration, ClearPass OnGuard delivers reliable, policy-driven control without compromising user experience.

• End-to-end posture-based access control: ClearPass OnGuard evaluates device health, security posture, and compliance before granting access to critical networks and resources. It continuously monitors endpoint status and dynamically enforces policies to prevent non-compliant devices from connecting, reducing risk across your enterprise. This capability helps you enforce security best practices, from antivirus status to OS patch levels, so your organization stays aligned with industry standards and internal governance.
• Unified policy management across a diverse fleet: Manage access rules, device posture checks, and guest access from a single, centralized console. Whether your endpoints run macOS, Windows, or mixed environments, ClearPass OnGuard provides consistent policy enforcement, simplifies IT administration, and minimizes the overhead of maintaining multiple security tools. The centralized approach makes it easier to scale security as your business grows, ensuring uniform protection across geographies and departments.
• Cross-platform compatibility with minimal friction: The product supports Mac and PC installations with streamlined deployment steps. Users benefit from a smooth onboarding experience, while IT teams gain granular control over access policies and compliance checks. This cross-platform capability is essential for organizations with Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programs or diverse device ecosystems, eliminating silos and ensuring universal coverage.
• Electronic delivery for rapid activation and renewal: This license is delivered electronically, enabling fast fulfillment and immediate activation. The 1-year term provides predictable budgeting and renewal planning, while keeping your security posture current through automatic updates and ongoing support. Electronic delivery also simplifies license tracking, renewals, and compliance reporting for procurement teams.
• Priority protection with ongoing updates and support: A 1-year subscription ensures your software stays up-to-date with evolving threat landscapes and policy requirements. Included updates and standard support help you minimize vulnerability windows, respond to new compliance mandates, and maintain a robust security posture without disruptive overhauls.

Test with representative endpoints to ensure accurate enforcement and a smooth user experience.
• Monitor, report, and adjust as needed. Use the OnGuard dashboard to review posture compliance, access attempts, and policy effectiveness. Schedule renewals before the term ends to maintain continuous protection and minimize operational disruption.
