Proof for your clients

What your reports can look like

Clients want to see that their IT provider is handling AI. With the block list on the firewalls you manage, you can show each client which AI services its staff use and what changed from month to month. Two examples of what you can hand over under your own name:

Report 1 · Full assessment: where the client stands
Executive summary page of the sample Shadow AI audit report: AI tools found, high-risk tools, the AI exposure index and the tools to block. Sample Preview the sample report 11 pages, opens in your browser · PDF

Every AI service found in the client’s firewall log, who uses it, how risky it is, whether it learns from what staff type in, and an action plan.

Report 2 · Monthly usage report
Summary page of the sample monthly AI report: AI tools in use, new tools, blocked tools and the monthly trend. Sample Preview the monthly report 12 pages, opens in your browser · PDF

What moved since last month: new services in use, risky ones, what the block list stopped, and your advice for the next review.

Or build them yourself

Monthly reports straight from each client’s firewall

The MSP plan includes ready-made code that produces the monthly usage report for every client from the firewall or DNS filter you already look after. You give it that device’s API key and the logs stay on your own machine; only the domain names are looked up with us, so each AI service gets its name, its risk and the client’s policy.

1

Pick

The client’s firewall or filter, and Python, PowerShell, JavaScript or Rust.

2

Connect

Put the device’s API key (or its syslog) and your plan key in one settings file.

3

Collect

Schedule it daily with Task Scheduler, cron or your RMM. Only domain names leave your network.

4

Report

Once a month: one report per client, with your name, logo and colours.

For SonicWall, FortiGate, Palo Alto, Cisco ASA and Secure Firewall, Cisco Meraki, Cisco Umbrella, DNSFilter, Cloudflare Zero Trust, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and WatchGuard, plus exported logs from any other device.

Why it costs $99, not $9,000

A consulting-led shadow AI assessment interviews staff, requests the same log exports and delivers a report weeks later. The audit reads the logs directly.

No. The $99, $199 and $299 packs are one-time payments. Monthly plans (Essentials and MSP) are separate subscriptions that add audit credits every month; MSP adds a firewall block list for every client, and the client reports add-on adds white-label reports and client upload links.

They stay in your account for 90 days, downloadable as CSV and PDF, then they are removed. You can delete them earlier yourself. The uploaded log itself is never stored at all.

Full reports handle up to 25 MB or 2,000,000 lines per export. Larger networks and unusual formats are handled on request through a custom plan, processed by the same engine outside the upload path.

The MSP plan ($249/month) gives every client, up to 25, a block list for its firewall or DNS filter, updated daily, plus one full audit a month. No client logs are needed for the block lists. If your clients share their logs and you want to report to them under your own brand, the client reports add-on (+$149/month) adds 25 white-label audits a month, a monthly AI report and an evidence pack per client. See the white-label example.
