We’re pleased to announce that Netwrix Change Tracker is now available as a SaaS solution as part of the Netwrix 1Secure platform, titled 1Secure File Integrity and Configuration Monitor (1Secure FICM). It offers all the powerful functionality of the traditional on-premises deployment in a flexible, scalable cloud-hosted model.
Whether you need to enforce secure configurations, track unauthorized changes, or simplify compliance reporting, 1Secure File Integrity and Configuration Monitor delivers the same powerful capabilities—without the infrastructure overhead.
Organizations can now enjoy streamlined deployment, simplified operations, and reduced infrastructure management without compromising the core features they rely on for compliance, configuration control, and cybersecurity hardening.
What is Netwrix 1Secure Platform?
Netwrix 1Secure is the unified SaaS platform that brings together five essential security capabilities into one powerful solution: Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR), Endpoint Management, Privileged Access Management, and Identity Management. Designed for organizations of all sizes, 1Secure gives you a single view across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments. It continuously monitors for threats, uses AI to detect risk patterns, and automates response actions—so you can stop breaches before they happen. After 1Secure DSPM and 1Secure ITDR, 1Secure File Integrity and Configuration Monitor is the first cornerstone of 1Secure Endpoint Management Edition – stay tuned for more!

Onboarding Guide
This guide will walk you through the user onboarding process and highlight key differences from Netwrix Change Tracker, which is the on-premises version.
For reference, see the on-premises documentation for broader platform knowledge. Below, we focus on what’s unique to the SaaS experience.
Ensure you have read and agree with the End User License Agreement
1. Account Creation & Authentication
Registration Steps
Provide Email Address
- Upon purchase, you’ll be asked for the email address that will be used as the administrator login credentials.
Activate Your Account
- You will receive an activation email from us containing a unique activation link.
- Click the activation link to set up your password and enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). MFA is required for all logins.
Login for the First Time
- Access the SaaS portal with your new credentials.
Adding More Users
Navigate to Users Page
- After logging in, go to the Users section.
Invite Your Team
- Create new user accounts for your team members. Each user will receive an activation email where they set up their own password and MFA following the same workflow.
2. Post-Setup Requirements
Mandatory Password Update
During initial deployment the “agent” and “ITSM” logins are given highly secure auto-generated passwords that act as placeholders until they are replaced. The admin must immediately change these default passwords to ones of their own choice that conform to 1Secure security standards. This can be done in the same Users page used to create accounts for your team. Service like accounts with the agent or ITSM roles will not send activation emails. Instead, an Admin can set the password for these accounts directly on the Users page.
3. ITSM Integration Settings
-
The Sync Service is used to integrate with ITSM systems. A grid is available in the advanced section of System Settings where configuration settings can be applied.
-
Setting to configure:
- baseUrl
- Username
- Password
4. Email Settings
SMTP Configuration
- SMTP is pre-configured for you using 1Secure’s internal SendGrid integration.
- Do not change these SMTP settings unless explicitly instructed by 1Secure support. Modifying SMTP settings may prevent system notifications emails from being delivered.
5. Additional Notes
- For all other configurations, policies, and monitoring setup, follow the general steps as outlined in the on-premises documentation.
- SaaS support and platform differences will be communicated via email and portal notifications as they become available.
