FAQ

Is this an employee monitoring template?

No. It is designed for governance discovery. Use lawful, proportionate methods and involve HR or legal before any employee-monitoring activity.

Should discovered tools be blocked immediately?

Not always. Some tools should be blocked; others may need controlled approval, migration, or vendor due diligence. The tracker is built to record the decision path.
