Information that SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus sends
The client software sends the following information to the ePO server for use in queries:
• Type of event initiated by the managed system (site visit or download).
• Unique ID assigned by SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus to the managed system.
• Time of event.
• Domain for event.
• URL for event.
• SiteAdvisor rating for the event's site.
• Site threat factor.
• Whether the event's site or site resource is on an Authorize list, a Prohibit list, or no list.
• Reason for action (allow, warn, or block) taken by SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus.
• Observe mode status (on or off).
SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus sends the following information to the SiteAdvisor website's servers:
• Version of the SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus client software running on the managed system.
• Version of the operating system running on the managed system.
• Language and country locale selected for the operating system and browser running on the
managed system.
• Host name and part of the URL for each website the managed system requests to access.
• MD5 algorithm for each application the managed system requests to download.
When a managed system visits a website, SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus tracks the site's domain
specifier . The domain specifier is the smallest amount of information required for SiteAdvisor
Enterprise Plus to uniquely identify the site being rated for security. The focus of SiteAdvisor
Enterprise Plus is protecting your managed systems; no attempt is made to track personal
Internet usage.
NOTE:
SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus does not send information on your company's intranet sites
to the SiteAdvisor website's servers, unless specifically requested. See Tracking visits to domains
and downloads under Configuring Policies for more information.
