Frequently Asked Questions
These questions address many typical issues that arise when deploying SiteAdvisor Enterprise
Plus to managed network systems.
Policy enforcement
Can users circumvent SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus policy settings and hide their
browsing behavior?
Yes, but you can detect when this happens. Users can use several methods to hide browsing
activity, including:
• Using an unsupported browser. SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus supports Microsoft Internet
Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.
• Creating an application that browses the web or creating a frame page where the content
of a frame loads websites.
• Disabling the SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus client software by using the Add-ons feature
through the browser's Tools menu.
Can users circumvent SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus policy settings and hide their
browsing behavior?
Yes, but to protect against these situations:
• Check browsing behavior and browser usage regularly by using various queries that track
browsing behavior. This lets you know when particular managed systems show no browsing
data or less browsing data than expected.
• Check the functional status of the client software by using the Functional Compliance
query. This lets you know when the software is disabled.
By setting up monitors that use the applicable queries, or frequently checking reports generated
by these queries, you know when users are circumventing policy settings and can take immediate
steps to ensure compliance. See Using Dashboards, Monitors, and Reports for more information.
