What it does

Everything a desk head needs to keep traders on-mandate.

Purpose-built for enforcing firm strategy and acceptable-use — not generic office spyware.

Live screen view

Watch any workstation in real time, multi-monitor, on demand. Streams only the screen you're viewing to keep latency low.

Activity intelligence

Every app, window, and website in focus — timestamped, searchable, and filterable by date. Know exactly where the day went.

Real-time compliance alerts

Rules fire the instant a trader opens a remote-access tool, a VPN, shadow-AI, or works after hours — delivered to email, Slack, or Teams.

On-demand recording

Capture a session to disk with a click, then scrub the timeline back for evidence. Recording is deliberate — never silent, always retained on your terms.

Reports & productivity

Top apps and sites, productive-vs-unproductive split, historical trends, one-click CSV export for the risk committee.

Central fleet control

Deploy, update, and remotely remove agents across every PC — from the console. No trip to the trader's desk required.

How it works

Live in an afternoon, across every desk.

1

Install the agent

One signed installer per PC — pushed by your tools or run once. It auto-starts on every boot and shows a visible monitoring notice.

2

Watch from anywhere

Open the browser console or desktop app from any location. Each PC connects out over the internet — no matter which line it's on.

3

Get alerted, stay in control

Set the rules once. DeskWatch flags off-mandate behaviour in real time and keeps an audit trail of who watched what.

Security & compliance

Built to survive an audit — and to earn trust.

  • Encrypted end-to-end. TLS on every connection; runs entirely on infrastructure you own.
  • Role-separated access. Admin and agent identities are cryptographically distinct — a trader's PC can never watch another.
  • Accountability of the watchers. Every view, recording, and export is logged to an immutable admin audit trail.
  • Retention on your terms. Activity and recordings auto-expire on a window you set.
  • Transparent, not covert. A persistent notice tells staff they're monitored — the disclosure is part of the product.

The difference

Monitoring that holds up — because it draws the line in the right place.

DeskWatch watches work activity: apps, windows, websites, and screens. It deliberately does not capture keystrokes, private messages, microphones, or webcams. That boundary is exactly what makes it defensible in a regulated environment — and what makes staff accept it.
