Questions people ask
Is this antivirus or IT security?
No — it guards your money flows, not your computers. Invoice fraud, payment-detail scams and staff-targeted phishing are how small businesses actually lose money, and no antivirus reads an invoice.
What does it do when it finds something?
It puts the item on hold in your process and alerts a named person with the evidence: what changed, when, and why it looks wrong. It never deletes, never blocks silently, never decides alone.
What does a fraud-watch agent cost?
€1 per payment or sender verified, with the €45 quiet-month minimum and a €400 ceiling. One caught bank-detail scam pays for years of it.
