Web Filter

Dangerous sites blocked automatically. Everything else is your call.

What it is

Anything known to be dangerous — malware, phishing pages, fake login screens, scam sites — is blocked for your whole business by default. You do not configure it and you do not maintain it. If a staff member clicks a bad link, the page simply does not open.

On top of that, you decide what else your team should not be reaching during work hours. Blocking is done by category rather than site by site, so you switch on "gambling" once instead of chasing thousands of individual addresses.

It works on every company laptop wherever it is — the office, home, a client site, an airport. The rules travel with the device, so working from home does not mean working unprotected.

Why it matters

Nearly every attack needs your staff to reach a website the attacker controls — the link in the phishing email, the fake Microsoft login, the download that installs the malware. Blocking the site outright stops the attack before anyone has the chance to be fooled by it.

It is also the simplest way to hold a line on what work devices are used for. Most businesses do not want to police browsing personally; a category switch does it quietly and consistently for everyone.

AI tools have made this urgent. Staff paste customer data, contracts and financials into chatbots without thinking about where it goes. Being able to block or allow AI sites as a category is how you make that a business decision instead of an individual one.

What's included

  • Dangerous sites — malware, phishing and scams — blocked automatically, no setup needed
  • Category blocking you control: social media, AI and chatbots, online shopping, gambling, adult content, streaming and other non-work sites
  • Different rules for different teams, if you want them
  • Your own exceptions — allow a specific site your business needs, block one you do not
  • Protection that follows the laptop home, to a client site, anywhere
  • Reporting on what was blocked and how often
  • Set up and managed by us — nothing to buy, install in your office, or maintain

Web filtering helps evidence the malicious-website and content-control expectations in SMB1001, and pairs with endpoint protection and staff training to cover the same risk from three directions.

Common questions

What gets blocked automatically?

Anything known to be malicious — phishing pages, fake login screens, malware downloads and scam sites. That protection is on from day one and you do not have to manage it.

What can we choose to block ourselves?

Whole categories rather than individual sites: social media, AI tools and chatbots, online shopping, gambling, adult content, streaming, and other non-work categories. You tell us what suits your business and we set it up. You can change it whenever you like.

Can we block AI tools like ChatGPT?

Yes, and a lot of businesses now do. AI sites are their own category, so you can block them outright, or allow the ones you have approved and block the rest — which keeps staff from pasting customer or financial data into a tool nobody has vetted.

Can different teams have different rules?

Yes. Marketing usually needs social media; the warehouse usually does not. You can apply different rules to different groups rather than settling on one policy for everyone.

What if it blocks a site we actually need?

Tell us and we allow it — or you add it to your own allow list. Legitimate sites occasionally fall into a broad category, and fixing it takes moments.

Does it work when staff work from home?

Yes, and that is much of the point. The protection is on the device itself rather than in your office, so the same rules apply on home wi-fi, a mobile hotspot or public wi-fi at a cafe.

Is there hardware to install?

None. There is nothing to buy, rack or maintain — we set it up remotely on your devices.

Will it slow down our internet?

No. The check happens before the page starts loading and takes a fraction of a second. Staff will not notice it is there, except when something dangerous fails to open.

Does it monitor what our staff browse?

You get reporting on what was blocked and which categories are being hit, so you can see where the risk is. It is a security and policy tool, not surveillance of individuals.

How much is it?

It is $3.90 per device per month ex GST, on the same annual term as the rest of the platform. It is charged per device because the filter runs on the device itself, so it protects the laptop wherever it goes. Comparable managed filters typically land between $4 and $6.
