Logging what happened, or proving the log was not edited
workmonitor.vsActivity-logging and insider-risk tools
If an admin covers their tracks
With WorkMonitor
The trail is hash-chained and append-only, so a removal breaks the chain and the break is detectable.
Activity-logging and insider-risk tools
Deleting rows from a log table leaves no evidence that rows were deleted.
Who watches the investigator
With WorkMonitor
Every access to a person’s record is logged, investigators included, and surfaced to the subject.
Activity-logging and insider-risk tools
Nobody. Investigative access looks identical to no access at all.
Tenant isolation
With WorkMonitor
Composite foreign keys make a cross-tenant row a database error rather than a code-review question.
Activity-logging and insider-risk tools
Enforced in application code, which means enforced until somebody forgets.
When the subject pushes back
With WorkMonitor
A transparency view and a dispute route with human review — which is what keeps a programme lawful where it operates, and what a regulator asks to see.
Activity-logging and insider-risk tools
Investigations run entirely outside anything the subject can see or contest, and a challenge lands on the investigator.
Feeding the security stack
With WorkMonitor
SIEM export, a typed v1 API and HMAC-signed webhooks, so this is a source rather than a destination.
Activity-logging and insider-risk tools
One more console with its own login and its own notion of an incident.
The question we get asked
We need investigations that respect employee privacy at scale. Does a workforce platform meet that bar?
On the privacy mechanics, the design goes further than most: every access to a person’s record is logged including the investigator’s, and that log is surfaced to the subject. On analyst tooling and risk-model depth, a dedicated insider-risk platform is ahead, and if the programme is the reason you are buying, that is the deciding factor.
Integrity — anomalies flagged for a person to weigh
What WorkMonitor ships, with its real status
- Audit log (hash-chained; primitive in Proof Ledger)
- Compliance evidence pack
- SIEM export
- Access-anomaly detection
Switching
Bringing your DTEX Systems history across
Nobody switches tools if it means abandoning a year of history. Export yours as CSV and the importer maps it onto our columns. There is no dedicated DTEX Systems preset yet, so expect to line the columns up once rather than not at all.
The columns your export needs to line up with
- date
- minutes
- project
- task
- note
Six columns, mapped once on the first import. Rows that cannot be normalised still pass through, so the importer reports exactly which ones need attention rather than rejecting the file.
After the import
Where your DTEX Systems history lands
Imported hours sit on the same ledger as everything captured after them, so a week from before the switch and a week from after it are read the same way. Corrections append with an author and a reason rather than overwriting, which is what lets you answer why a number changed long after anyone remembers.
API keys — scoped keys, never master keys
When DTEX Systems is the better answer
You are running a dedicated insider-risk programme at enterprise scale and need a purpose-built risk-scoring engine with an established analyst workflow. That is their whole product and a broader platform will not match its depth.
If that is the deciding requirement, buy that instead. Nothing on this page is worth reading if the unflattering half is missing from it, which is also why every capability above carries its real status rather than a tick.
Questions
Moving from DTEX Systems
Answered about what WorkMonitor does, including where the answer is no.
- Is WorkMonitor an insider-risk platform?
- It carries the evidence layer an insider-risk programme needs — a hash-chained append-only trail, egress and integrity signals, SIEM export — inside a broader workforce platform. It is not a dedicated risk-scoring engine with an analyst case-management workflow.
- How do I move my DTEX Systems data into WorkMonitor?
- Export it as CSV and the importer maps it onto our columns — email, date, minutes, project, task, note. There is no dedicated preset for this vendor yet, so the columns get lined up once on the first import. Risk scores and case history do not map onto anything here. The time series lands; the hash-chained evidence trail necessarily starts on the day you switch.
- Does WorkMonitor pseudonymise employee data for investigations?
- Capture policy is per region, disclosure is field-level so a certificate reveals only what you choose, and every read of a person’s record is logged and shown to that person — including reads by investigators, which is the part most tools leave out.
- Can WorkMonitor feed our SIEM and SOC tooling?
- Yes — SIEM export, a typed read-only v1 API with IP allowlisting, and HMAC-signed webhooks, so it acts as a source for the stack you already run rather than another console with its own login.
- What stops an administrator from tampering with the evidence?
- The trail is hash-chained and append-only: removing a row breaks the chain and the break is detectable. Tenant isolation is enforced with composite foreign keys, so a cross-tenant row is a database error rather than a code-review question.
- Is WorkMonitor licensed per endpoint or per seat?
- Per seat rather than per endpoint, so a person running several machines is one seat. Two seats are free and every tier is published in full.

Take these with you
The software is the easy part of a rollout
Here is what we would send a manager doing one for the first time: how to read a productivity number, what to say to a remote team before anything is installed, and a policy you can adopt as written.
Point it at one team for a week.
Create the account, put the agent on a handful of desks, and leave it alone. On Friday you read the week instead of reconstructing it: hours against their projects, focus and idle per person, and the timesheets already filled in.
Free for two seats. No card, and no sales call to sit through.
