A controlled endpoint that still fits your control framework.
Regulated environments need the endpoint to do exactly one thing. XPC constrains what the user can reach while leaving the Windows platform your controls, evidence and audit trail depend on completely intact.
The short answer
How do regulated firms restrict what staff can do on a desktop endpoint?
XPC replaces the Windows shell the user sees with a controlled launcher that offers only the sessions and applications the firm publishes. Because the underlying operating system, identity, logging, EDR and management agents are unchanged, existing controls and audit evidence continue to apply to the endpoint rather than needing to be rebuilt for a new platform.
Unchanged
Control framework
Same Windows identity, logging and security agents.
Least access
What staff reach
Only the published sessions and applications.

Constrain the user, not the platform
Swapping the endpoint operating system moves every control — logging, patching, hardening, evidence collection — onto a new platform, and every one of them has to be re-evidenced. XPC constrains the user experience on top of the platform your controls already cover.
Multi-monitor and market-data workflows
Front-office users typically run multiple displays and native client optimisations. XPC presents the published sessions and leaves the native client's display handling in place.
- Native Citrix Workspace / RDP clients unchanged
- Multi-monitor handled by the remote client as today
- Peripheral and smart card behaviour unchanged
- No new endpoint OS to harden and evidence
Consistent across branches and head office
The same central configuration governs branch machines and head-office desks, so the standard is defined once and applied everywhere.
At the desk
What the user actually sees.
- A branded corporate screen at power-on
- The published desktops and applications for that role
- No local desktop, installation rights or file system
- A clean, identical state at each sign-in
Regulated environments
Tighter endpoints without a platform change.
XPC reduces what staff can reach while your Windows security and audit stack stays exactly where the auditors last saw it.
Questions we are asked
Straight answers.
Does XPC store or process customer data?
No. XPC controls what the endpoint presents and connects to; the work happens inside the remote session on your platform.
Can we still collect endpoint logs and evidence?
Yes. Windows continues to run with your existing logging, EDR and management agents in place.
Is XPC a replacement for our privileged access controls?
No. XPC narrows what a standard user can reach at the endpoint. Privileged access management remains your platform's responsibility.
