MicroGADS Gold Description
The Generating Availability Data System (GADS) program, managed by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), stands as the global benchmark for outage data reporting and tracking within the power generation sector. Currently, over 590 electric generating companies across North America are mandated to submit their power plant outage data to NERC through the GADS framework. Additionally, numerous international firms are adopting this program for their data collection and analytical needs. In response to the industry's demand for robust and user-friendly tools to gather GADS data, Guidehouse has developed the MicroGADS Gold program. This software adheres strictly to NERC and IEEE 762 standards, ensuring consistency in GADS data reporting and analysis, which in turn aids in generating reliable statistics and reports. Furthermore, MicroGADS Gold is designed to meet all obligatory reporting standards for data submission to NERC, making it an essential tool for compliance in the industry. By leveraging this software, companies can enhance their operational efficiency while maintaining the highest standards of data integrity.

Securden Endpoint Privilege Manager
Securden Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM) enables enterprises to remove admin rights without impacting productivity on Windows, Mac, and Linux endpoints. Securden EPM helps elevate applications for standard users and grant admin rights on a Just-in-Time (JIT) basis, eliminating standing privileges while ensuring users can run required applications without friction. Organizations can enforce application control using allowlisting and blocklisting to prevent unauthorized or risky software execution while enabling secure operations.
The solution supports on-demand application elevation and policy-based granular application elevation control, allowing security teams to define exactly which apps can run with elevated rights and under what conditions. Privilege management continues even on offline endpoints, ensuring protection for remote and traveling users. Built-in JIT local admin rights reduce risk by granting temporary elevation only when required.
Additional capabilities include application usage tracking for better policy decisions, continuous local administrator group monitoring to prevent privilege creep, and secure remote access for IT helpdesk teams to troubleshoot systems without exposing credentials. Securden EPM also helps organizations meet compliance requirements such as HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GDPR, and NERC-CIP. With a highly scalable architecture and a wide array of integrations, the platform delivers enterprise-grade endpoint privilege management while maintaining operational efficiency and user productivity.
