Frequently asked

Frequently Asked Questions:

No, CurrentWare cannot access the data you collect with its workforce optimization software. CurrentWare’s software does not send your user’s computer usage data to CurrentWare. They are installed and managed by your organization.

All of the data collected by CurrentWare’s software is stored on a database that is installed in your organization’s data center or cloud service provider.

With CurrentWare’s on-premises & self-managed cloud deployment options, you’re in complete control of your data.

  • Sensitive employee data stays secured to your standards rather than being sent to a third party.

CurrentWare collects data on application usage, website activity, productive time, idle time, and workload trends. A lightweight agent runs on employee devices and sends activity insights to centralized dashboards—without invasive tracking methods like keylogging, webcam access, or stealth recording.

The free trial for all of CurrentWare’s computer monitoring software solutions are fully functional. You can deploy it on up to 10 computers for 14 days. If you need more time or more computers to properly evaluate CurrentWare in your organization, reach out to our sales team.

CurrentWare is committed to the security of its platform, its users and their data.

  • All of the data collected by CurrentWare’s solutions is stored in your organization’s data center or cloud service provider; the data is not sent to CurrentWare.
  • The web console cannot be accessed without a username and password. For an added layer of authentication security you can enable two-factor authentication.
  • You can selectively enable/disable what data is tracked and delete old records automatically.

For a complete overview of the security measures that CurrentWare has in place, check out the CurrentWare platform security overview page.

Yes! Since CurrentWare runs on your own server, and doesn’t ping back to a remote server elsewhere, CurrentWare can run on air-gapped networks without access to the outside internet. This means it an excellent fit in research facilities or other high security environments.

To deploy CurrentWare without internet access you can do a Standalone Setup with all components on the same PC, or you can install the central management software within your intranet to centrally manage PCs within an air-gapped network.

When your employees disconnect from your network the client agent will store their activity data locally on their computer. Once they reconnect to your network their data will be synced to the CurrentWare server.

Note: If you wish to get activity data from employee computers that are outside of the network, they will need to be able to communicate with the CurrentWare Server. Once a connection is reestablished you will receive your employee’s computer usage data and any CurrentWare policy updates will take effect.
