Auditors want proof that you're monitoring access, detecting threats, and preserving evidence. Arden gives you all three from your existing Windows event logs — without sending a single byte to the cloud. Fully offline. Fully auditable. Deploy in under 60 seconds.
Organizations handling criminal justice information must log and audit all access to CJI systems. CJIS also restricts cloud-based solutions unless they meet strict encryption and access control requirements. Arden runs entirely on-premise — no data leaves your network, ever.
Healthcare organizations must implement technical safeguards to monitor access to systems containing ePHI. Most small clinics and practices can't afford a SIEM but still face the same compliance requirements as large hospital systems.
Any business that processes, stores, or transmits cardholder data must log and monitor access to network resources. Restaurants, retail stores, and e-commerce operations running Windows POS systems need this coverage.
Defense contractors and their entire supply chain must demonstrate security monitoring to maintain DoD contracts. Thousands of small manufacturers need to meet these requirements but can't justify enterprise security tooling.
Publicly traded companies and their auditors need to demonstrate that access to financial reporting systems is monitored and controlled. Accounting firms and finance departments running Windows need audit evidence for Section 404 compliance.
Schools, districts, and universities must protect student education records. IT departments managing Windows labs, administrative systems, and student information systems need logging and monitoring but rarely have dedicated security staff.
No telemetry, no cloud sync, no data exfiltration risk. Arden processes everything locally. Your logs never leave the machine they came from.
When Arden detects log clearing, it automatically exports all alerts and events to a local preservation file — capturing the evidence before it's gone.
For critical detections like Defender being disabled or firewall changes, Arden traces the action back to the specific user account — even when Windows doesn't log it in the standard fields.
38 event categories covering logon, account lifecycle, computer accounts, privilege use, group membership (local, global, and universal), scheduled tasks, and policy changes — written to a rolling CSV in real time. Export filtered by framework and control as CSV or JSON.
Deploy Arden on any Windows machine and get real audit logging, threat detection, and evidence preservation — the three things every compliance framework asks for.
