Technical monitoring only. Not legal advice, not a CMP, and not a compliance certification tool.

What this page covers

Small businesses often rely on a website vendor, CMS, theme, plugins, tag manager, analytics tools, and marketing scripts. Those pieces can change over time, but SMB teams rarely have a recurring review trail for visible privacy signals.

Who this is for

This page is for SMB owners, marketing teams, operations managers, and lean teams responsible for a company website or a small group of websites.

Visible privacy signals monitored

Privacy policy link presence and visibility on scanned pages.
Cookie banner or consent layer indicators visible in page markup.
Third-party script hosts loaded from the public page.
Detected vendor signals from analytics, advertising, tag manager, CRM, chat, testing, and CMP providers.
Visible cookies after page load when browser collection is available.
Scan-to-scan changes that create an internal review cue.

Common review cues

  • The privacy policy link is missing after a website redesign.
  • A new marketing script or analytics vendor appears.
  • Cookie banner indicators change after a plugin update.
  • Visible cookies after page load change between scans.
  • A non-technical owner needs a simple review summary.

Operational workflow

  1. 1Add the website or client site that should be monitored.
  2. 2Run a technical scan to capture visible privacy-related signals.
  3. 3Review privacy links, cookie banner indicators, scripts, vendors, cookies, and scanned pages.
  4. 4Compare the latest scan with the previous scan to identify changes.
  5. 5Use the report as an internal review cue after releases, plugin updates, vendor changes, or website redesigns.

Frequently asked questions

Is this designed for small businesses?

Yes. It is designed for SMBs that need simple recurring monitoring without enterprise privacy software complexity.

Does it require technical setup?

No complex setup is required. Add a site, run scans, and review visible signals over time.

Does it replace a lawyer or privacy consultant?

No. It provides technical monitoring only. Legal interpretation should be handled separately.

Why would an SMB need this?

Because websites change. Tracking visible privacy signals over time reduces the chance that a change goes unnoticed.

Can it monitor more than one website?

Yes. Plans support multiple websites depending on the tier.

Is this a CMP?

No. It does not manage consent. It monitors visible signals and changes.
