Admin By Request Zero Trust Platform

Admin By Request builds endpoint privilege and access management software at its headquarters in Denmark, led by founder and CEO Lars Sneftrup Pedersen, with offices in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, New Zealand, Thailand and the Nordics. It tackles the security and audit risk of users holding permanent local administrator rights on Windows, macOS and Linux devices, while keeping employees productive.

The Zero Trust Platform has three products managed from one cloud portal and one lightweight agent under 3 MB. Endpoint Privilege Management removes standing admin rights and lets users elevate applications or sessions on request, with pre-approval rules, MFA/SSO, AI auto-approval, LAPS break-glass and full audit logs. Secure Remote Access provides browser-based, time-limited RDP, SSH and VNC sessions without VPN, with recording and optional on-premises gateways. Web Access Management, launched in August 2026, controls browsers, websites and downloads, scanning executables before release. Data is hosted in the UK, Netherlands, Germany, Singapore or the US.

• Just-in-time elevation: Lets users run approved apps or short admin sessions with reason tracking and timers.
• Pre-approval and blocking: Allows or blocks applications by certificate, name and version rules.
• AI auto-approval: Uses machine learning to approve low-risk requests automatically.
• Secure Remote Access: Opens recorded, time-limited RDP, SSH and VNC sessions from the browser without VPN.
• Web Access Management: Controls browsers, sites and downloads, scanning executables with over 37 antivirus engines.
• Integrations: Connects to Okta, SCIM, Intune, ServiceNow, Slack, Teams, Sentinel, Splunk and an open API.

A Vietnamese manufacturer can remove admin rights from office and shop-floor PCs while letting engineers install approved tools on request. A bank branch network can give IT support recorded remote sessions without VPN. An SME can start with the free 25-seat plan to meet ISO 27001 least-privilege controls.

Removing local admin rights shrinks the attack surface for malware and ransomware while users still install approved software on request. A free plan covers 25 EPM and 25 remote access seats with no time limit, lowering the entry barrier. The agent uses under 1% CPU, and the vendor reports a Net Promoter Score of 99. Audit logs map to ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST, HIPAA and DORA requirements.

Removing local administrator rights is one of the most effective controls against ransomware, and frameworks such as ISO 27001 and NIST require least privilege on endpoints. Many companies in Vietnam and Southeast Asia still give staff full admin rights for convenience, creating demand for simple, low-cost endpoint privilege management that IT teams can roll out quickly.

Admin By Request is headquartered in Denmark, with offices in San Francisco, New York, Chicago, London, Munich, New Zealand, Thailand, Sweden and Norway; CEO Lars Sneftrup Pedersen. The company reports growth of more than 900% over five years and works with resellers worldwide. It sponsors Formula 1 driver Nico Hulkenberg, renewed in January 2026.
