Safe Business watches the computers in your office around the clock and sends you one short page every week that says what happened, whether it matters, and what to do about it. Written for the owner, the manager and the board, not for IT.
Most small organisations have no idea whether their computers are secure. The tools that could tell them produce thousands of alerts in a language only specialists understand, so nobody looks, and the first sign of a problem is the problem itself.
Safe Business sits between you and that noise. A small, open-source monitoring agent goes on each computer and reports constantly to a monitoring server. Each week, everything it saw is turned into one page in plain English: a traffic-light verdict, a short version you can read in two minutes, a section for each topic, and a to-do list in priority order with an owner and a time estimate for each item.
Nothing on the page needs a translator. Where a technical term is unavoidable it is defined on the spot, and a glossary at the bottom covers the rest.
Fine Normal activity, nothing to do.
Watch Not dangerous today, but worth a look or a small fix.
Act now A real weakness an attacker could use. Fix this month.
Safe Business suits any organisation with roughly 3 to 50 computers and nobody whose full-time job is security.
Owners who want a straight answer to "are we OK?" every week, and a short list of what to fix, without hiring an IT department.
Boards and committees with a duty of care over donor and client data, who need a record showing it is being looked after.
Small and independent schools with student records, shared devices and a mix of Windows and Mac machines that nobody fully tracks.
Anyone handling health, legal or financial information who may need to show a partner, insurer or regulator how their systems are monitored.
Every machine we watch, what it runs, its traffic light and one plain sentence about its week.
Which known security flaws are open on your machines, which were fixed by updates, and which need a hand.
Each computer checked against an independent checklist of recommended settings, scored as a percentage, with the ones that matter explained.
Virus scans and checks for software trying to hide itself, with false alarms explained rather than left to worry you.
Failed passwords, new or changed accounts, administrator use, and whether the monitoring itself had gaps.
A check of your public internet address for exposed services and bad reputation, plus a review of your router when you want one.
From the second week on, every report also says what changed since last week, so improvements and new problems stand out without reading both. When something unusual happens, you can ask for a special report covering just the last 24 hours.
We learn how many computers you have, what they run, and who should receive the report. No audit, no questionnaire.
A small agent goes on each Windows and Mac machine and reports to a monitoring server. It is open-source, widely used and does not slow computers down.
Same day each week. Readable on a phone. Dark or light mode. Kept in a dated archive so you can look back.
Each item has an owner and a time estimate. The next report says whether it was done, and the traffic lights move when it is.
On the right is the "compared with last week" box from a real report. This is the level the whole page is written at: numbers you can act on, each with a colour that says whether it is good or bad.
The full page runs to about five minutes of reading. Most readers go straight to the verdict, skim the short version, and read the to-do list. The rest is there when they want it.
No. The report is written so that whoever is responsible for the organisation can read it and decide. The to-do items are specific enough to hand to whoever does your IT, whether that is a staff member, a contractor or you.
It reports. The value is finding out about weaknesses while they are still weaknesses and fixing them, instead of finding out after someone used one. Most break-ins at small organisations come through exactly the items these reports flag: unpatched software, weak settings and reused passwords.
Windows and Mac desktops and laptops, and Linux servers if you have them. Phones, tablets and cloud services such as email are outside what the monitoring sees, and the report says so plainly rather than implying it covers everything.
No. The monitoring agent runs quietly in the background. It records security-relevant events; it does not read documents, emails or browsing.
Only the people you nominate. It names your computers and your public internet address, so it is kept private, not published.
Yes. A monthly summary in the same style, or a PDF for a board pack, can be produced from the same monitoring.
