For a small organisation, a single cyber incident at this cost can represent a significant portion of annual revenue. Many small businesses lack the reserves to absorb this impact.
Enterprise Visibility Without Enterprise Complexity
You should not need a dedicated security team to know what is happening on your company’s computers. ActivityPulse gives small and medium businesses the same workforce intelligence that large enterprises rely on, at a price that makes sense.
Small Teams. Big Risks.
Small and medium organisations face the same cyber threats as large enterprises but without dedicated security teams or enterprise budgets. Australian small businesses are the most targeted group for cyber attacks.
$56,600
average cost per cybercrime report for Australian small businesses in 2024-25, up 14%
84,700
cyber security incidents responded to by ASD in 2024-25, up 12% on the previous year
Technology companies are high-value targets for both state-sponsored and criminal actors. Source code repositories, customer databases, and cloud infrastructure are all attack surfaces.
22%
of Australian SME owners reported their business was impacted by cybercrime in 2024
The Australian Institute of Criminology found that SME owners experienced significantly higher rates of all types of cybercrime, and when they fell victim, they lost larger amounts of money than other victims.
Key Challenges Facing Small and Medium Businesses
Growing organisations face the same threats as enterprises but without the dedicated teams or budgets to address them.
Limited Security Resources
Small and medium organisations face the same cyber threats as enterprises but without dedicated security teams or budgets to match. Visibility into employee activity is often the first gap.
AI Usage Without Oversight
Employees adopting AI tools like ChatGPT and Copilot without any governance or visibility. Company data, customer information, and internal documents shared with external AI providers.
Employee Departure Risk
In smaller teams, one departing employee can take a disproportionate share of customer relationships, business processes, and institutional knowledge.
Compliance Without Complexity
Growing organisations face increasing compliance requirements but lack the resources for enterprise-grade governance frameworks. Simple, effective tools are needed.
Six Use Cases for Small & Medium Business
Each ActivityPulse capability mapped to a real challenge that small and medium business owners face every day.
1
Know What Your Team Is Doing
You trust your team, but you have no visibility into how company time and resources are being used. Are employees productive? Are company devices being used for personal activities during work hours?
How ActivityPulse Helps
✓ See which applications and websites each employee uses and for how long
✓ Productivity scoring shows productive vs unproductive time per user per day
✓ Work Time dashboard shows actual working hours and break patterns
✓ Overview dashboard gives you the full picture at a glance
2
Protect Your Business Data
Employees can copy customer lists, financial data, or proprietary documents to USB drives, personal email, or cloud storage. You may not know until it is too late.
How ActivityPulse Helps
✓ USB monitoring detects every device connection and file copy
✓ Email monitoring shows when company data is sent externally
✓ DLP dashboard shows all data movement in one place
✓ Alerts notify you immediately when something suspicious happens
3
Monitor AI Tool Usage
Your team is using ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI tools with company data. Are they pasting customer information, financial records, or trade secrets into AI prompts?
How ActivityPulse Helps
✓ Track every AI prompt across 33+ services
✓ Detect file uploads to AI tools
✓ See exactly what information is being shared with AI providers
✓ Set up rules to alert when sensitive terms appear in AI prompts
4
Catch Problems Before They Escalate
An employee planning to leave may start downloading client lists, visiting competitor websites, or spending work hours on job searching. By the time you notice, the damage is done.
How ActivityPulse Helps
✓ Insider threat scoring automatically detects suspicious behaviour patterns
✓ Retention risk scoring identifies employees who may be planning to leave
✓ Alerts notify you when risk scores exceed your thresholds
✓ Investigation timeline shows everything in chronological order
5
Support Remote and Hybrid Workers
Some of your team works from home. Are they online during agreed hours? Are they as productive as in office staff? Are they at risk of burnout from overworking?
How ActivityPulse Helps
✓ Real working hours captured automatically via system events
✓ Burnout risk scoring monitors 11 signals including overtime and declining engagement
✓ WiFi monitoring shows whether remote workers are on secure connections
✓ Same visibility for remote staff as for in office employees
6
Compliance and Evidence
If something goes wrong, you need evidence. A workplace dispute, a data breach, or a termination for cause all require documented proof of what happened.
How ActivityPulse Helps
✓ Complete audit trail of all activity, timestamped and attributed to each user
✓ Export evidence as PDF, DOCX, CSV, or JSON
✓ Scheduled automated reports delivered to your inbox
✓ Data retention configurable to meet your requirements
