Head to lockthegrid.com/dashboard and sign up. You'll get a 14-day free trial with full access to all features on the Pro plan. No credit card required.
After signing up, you'll land on the dashboard. Take 30 seconds to set your company name and timezone — the agents will use this for report scheduling.
Gridlock connects to your client networks through a lightweight connector. Download the connector from the dashboard and deploy it to any Windows or Linux machine on the network.

Once deployed, the connector auto-registers with your Gridlock account. You'll see it appear in the dashboard within 60 seconds.

The entire process takes about 10 minutes. You can watch it happen in real-time on the dashboard.
Your dashboard is now live. Here's what you'll see:
Real-time threat detection feed
Endpoint health scores
Compliance posture scores
Auto-generated support tickets
