Explanation

Aruba ClearPass OnGuard is a posture assessment agent that checks endpoint health (OS patches, antivirus status, firewall settings, etc.) before and during network access - devices that fail compliance checks are quarantined or blocked, making C correct.

• A is wrong - Self-service workflows (like device onboarding or password resets) are handled by ClearPass Guest or the Policy Manager, not OnGuard.
• B is wrong - Revoking access for lost/stolen devices is a device-management or MDM function (e.g., ClearPass can trigger this via policy, but it's not OnGuard's primary role).
• D is wrong - Customizing guest access and authorization is the domain of ClearPass Guest, a separate ClearPass component.

Memory tip: Think of OnGuard as a security guard at the door checking your ID card's health record - it only lets you in if your device meets the health requirements (patches, AV, firewall). "OnGuard" = guarding the network against non-compliant endpoints.
