Insider threat detection licensed to the seats one case needs

Alerts on the applications, sites and keywords you define, with a screenshot captured the moment an alert fires, when you enable it. License it to the seats a case needs, not to the whole company.

The challenge

The tip is real. The rollout it needs is not.

Two tips arrive the same month, equally credible. One gets looked into because a program already existed; the other waits on a budget line, a policy review and a conversation with legal.

The solution

Start the case at the size of the case

Insightful alerts on the applications, sites and keywords you define, and captures a screenshot at the trigger when you enable it. Detection is licensed to as few seats as a case needs.

Ten seats, not six hundred

One security lead scoped his own evaluation to 10 licenses across a 675-person organization. Seats are the unit you buy and deploy.

Live the same day

Name an application, a site or a keyword in Settings. The condition is active that day rather than in the next release.

No session recording

No full-session recording and no keystroke logging. A single screenshot at the trigger, and only if you switch it on.

Detection is not a verdict

It reads behavior, not intent. It can show that client work went into a private account; what that means is still a human call.

Connected to your work

One alert is evidence of nothing on its own

One alert is a starting point. Add the session it sits in, the account trail under it and the program it belongs to, and a flag becomes a case somebody can defend.

Insider Risk Management

The program an alert belongs to: named seats, a capture depth set per group, and an approval path HR and legal both sign.

Activity Logs

The session the alert sits in: which applications and pages were open, in order, with timestamps, and nothing typed.

Audit Logs

Who changed what inside the account, in a record no user can alter, which is what an investigation's own integrity rests on.

Apps & Website Usage

Whether the tool in the alert is an isolated case or something several teams have quietly adopted.

Workforce Visibility

The same signals read at team level rather than at one seat: hours, applications and working patterns in one place.

CISO

A collection scope narrow enough to clear a legal review, and the documentation that review asks for.

No recording, no keystrokes
There is no full-session recording and no keystroke logging at any tier. The one capture is a single screenshot at a trigger you switch on.
A record no user can alter icon
Collection scope, published
What is captured is documented signal by signal, versioned and dated, so your reviewer reads a document rather than a paragraph.
Encryption and residency icon
Cleared in two jurisdictions
Independent legal reviewers in two jurisdictions cleared this collection scope, which is a narrower question to answer when the scope is ten seats.

FAQ

What is an insider threat?

An insider threat is a risk to data or systems from someone who already has legitimate access: an employee, contractor or partner. It covers deliberate misuse and negligent exposure, such as moving sensitive work into an unapproved tool. Insightful detects it by alerting on the applications, sites and keywords you define, licensed and deployed to as few seats as a case needs. Detection reads behavior, not intent. It can show you that client work went into a private account. What that means is still a human call.

Do we have to deploy this across the whole company?

No, and the licensing follows the deployment: detection can be bought and deployed for a subset of seats, and one security lead scoped his own evaluation to 10 licenses across a 675-person organization. The flip side is that seats are the unit. Widening a case later means widening the license, so scope the seats you expect to need rather than the ones you have today.

What triggers an alert, and who configures it?

Conditions you configure: a named application, a website, a keyword, or activity outside an employee's normal working hours. You set them in Settings and they are live the same day rather than in the next release. The honest caveat is granularity, which is coarse today and is being improved, so expect to tune a condition once or twice before the digest reads clean.

Does this record sessions or capture keystrokes?

No. There is no full-session recording and no keystroke logging. What you do get at a trigger is a single screenshot, and only if you enable that option, which is the one setting on this page your own reviewer will want to see written down before deployment rather than after.

Can it tell the difference between a person and a script?

Yes. Mouse jigglers, auto-clickers, keyboard jammers and workspace emulators are detected as patterns, so activity that was never real work does not reach a payroll or client-billing number. Mercor scaled to more than 30,000 contractors without losing millions to work fraud. Pattern detection flags rather than proves, and the flag is the beginning of a look, not the end of one.

How accurate is the data, and where does it come from?

From the Insightful desktop application on the device, never from a self-reported entry and never from a periodic audit somebody runs after the fact. Hours and application use are measured as work happens, not reconstructed afterwards, at an interval you set that goes as fine as every nine seconds, and each measure is reported against the period before. That is what makes an alert timeline something you can put in front of a reviewer.

What are the known limits of what ships today?

Tiered admin permissions and department-scoped admin roles are in development rather than shipped, so admin access cannot yet be split by department. What is here now is role-scoped alert ownership, where a manager sees only the alerts they created, and that is the model to design your program around.

Act on the tip without a company-wide rollout

Scope a trial to the seats one case involves. Seven days is enough to set the conditions, see a screenshot at a trigger, and hand legal the full collection list.
