Straight answers.
What Centeye does, who it’s for, what it does on its own, and what it never reads.
Centeye
What is Centeye?
Security for a workforce that is part human and part AI. Centeye protects your people (sign-ins, laptops, email and how they use AI), governs your AI agents, and runs the response with Praxis, across Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
What are the products?
People security: Gatewatch (identity), Ironwatch (devices), Lighthouse (email) and Lumen (AI governance and registry). Agent security: Synthwatch. Above both: Praxis, the agentic security operations layer, with its two AI agents, Kavach and Argus.
Who is Centeye for?
Small and mid-sized businesses that run IT in house, and the MSPs who run IT for them. Same product, same console.
Do we stay in control?
Yes. Every fix has a dial, set per action: tell me, ask me first, or handle it. Risky steps never run on their own, and every step is checked at Microsoft or Google afterwards and recorded.
Do we have to install anything?
Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace connect by API, with nothing to install. Laptops get a light agent for Windows and macOS. Lumen adds a Chrome and Edge extension and a Windows sensor for AI use on the device.
What does Centeye connect to?
Microsoft 365 and Entra ID, Google Workspace, Copilot and Gemini, Windows and macOS, Chrome and Edge; standard PSA tools for tickets and RMM tools for devices; Slack, Microsoft Teams and email for alerts and approvals.
How is Centeye priced?
Centeye is sold mainly through MSPs, in packages that match what each client needs, with Praxis included. Companies running their own IT can start a free trial or talk to us. See the pricing page for how it works.
For businesses
We’re 30 people with one IT person. Is this for us?
Yes. That is who it is built for. Praxis does the watching and the first response, so one person can cover nights and weekends without a security team.
We already have Microsoft Defender and Business Premium.
Good, keep them. Ironwatch uses Defender’s detections, and Gatewatch adds the response Microsoft leaves manual, like removing an attacker’s sign-in method. It also covers Google Workspace.
Can our MSP run it instead?
Yes. The same product runs through MSPs. Send them to centeye.io/for-msps, or ask us to talk to them.
For MSPs
Do we need our own SOC analysts?
No. Praxis does the first-line work: triage, linking, a proposed fix and a check afterwards. You set the dial per client and per action and take the approvals. If you have analysts, approvals go to them.
What happens overnight, or when nobody answers?
Whatever your dial says. Let the clear-cut fixes run on their own and nights are covered. Everything else waits with its evidence.
Does this replace our EDR, email or identity tools?
It can, or it can run beside them while you compare. Ironwatch works with Microsoft Defender rather than fighting it, and Gatewatch works alongside Entra ID P2.
What if a client has its own IT person?
Route their approvals to them, or keep them for yourself. The dial is set per client and per action, and the client’s IT person sees the same evidence you do.
How does pricing work for MSPs?
Per client, in packages that match what each client needs: secure the people, get AI under control, secure the AI workforce, or the whole platform. Praxis is included. Talk to us and we will shape it around your client list.
Gatewatch · identity
We already have Entra ID P2. Isn’t identity covered?
P2 is a good sensor, but only on Microsoft and only where you pay for it, and steps like removing an attacker’s sign-in method are still manual. Gatewatch detects and responds on Microsoft and Google and works alongside P2.
How do you spot a compromised mailbox?
From signals that line up: an odd sign-in, then a new inbox rule, a new app grant, or mail forwarded outside. Gatewatch joins them into one case instead of four small alerts.
What do staff see?
Nothing, unless their account is locked or they are asked to confirm a sign-in was them.
Ironwatch · devices
Do we have to remove Microsoft Defender?
No. Ironwatch picks up Defender’s detections and adds the response Defender doesn’t run on its own, like cutting a machine off the network, restoring changed files and linking the event to the login that caused it.
How heavy is the agent?
Light. It rolls out through your device-management tool and sends events, not files, unless an investigation needs a sample.
Which machines does it cover?
Windows and macOS laptops, desktops and servers.
Is this a managed detection and response service?
It is detection and response that runs around the clock inside rules you set, with Praxis doing the first-line work. Your team, or your MSP, makes the calls the rules leave to people.
Lighthouse · email
Do we need to change our mail routing?
No. Lighthouse connects by API and works after delivery, behind the filter you already run.
What does Lighthouse catch that a normal filter misses?
Mostly messages with no bad link or file: a fake supplier asking to change bank details, a lookalike domain, a display name copied from your CEO.
Does it keep our email?
It reads a message to judge it and does not keep the body after the verdict.
Can it pull a message from everyone at once?
Yes. One step pulls a whole campaign from every inbox it reached.
Lumen · AI governance
Is this about blocking ChatGPT?
No. It is about knowing which AI tools touch company data and deciding which to keep. Most companies approve a short list, coach people toward it, and block only what is risky.
Does Lumen read what people type into AI tools?
No. The browser extension and the device sensor never read files, messages or the words typed. They see which AI service, which person and how much data.
What do the three data levels mean?
Observed transfer: data was sent. Possible disclosure: sent to an unapproved app or a personal account. Confirmed exfiltration: only when a named person reviews it and records it, never the software on its own.
Do we need Microsoft’s AI add-ons?
No. Lumen runs on Microsoft 365 Business Premium and Google Workspace Business plans.
Synthwatch · AI agents
How is Synthwatch different from Lumen?
Lumen covers how people use AI: the browser, the device and the data going out. Synthwatch covers the AI agents themselves: their identity, their access, their behaviour and their posture. They share one register and one console.
Do we need Microsoft Agent 365 or Entra Suite?
No. Synthwatch runs on Microsoft 365 Business Premium and Google Workspace Business plans.
Does it read prompts or sit inside the agent?
No. It stays outside the agent and acts through identity, OAuth grants and access.
Is Synthwatch available now?
Synthwatch is in early access. We are onboarding a small number of businesses and MSPs now; start a free trial or book a call to join.
Praxis · Kavach and Argus
Is Praxis a chatbot?
No. It is the part of Centeye that links signals into one case, proposes the fix and runs it inside your rules. You can ask it questions, but its job is to work the case.
Who are Kavach and Argus?
The two Praxis agents. Kavach is the analyst on shift: it watches, links signals into one case and fixes it within your rules. Argus is the advisor: it explains each case in plain English and writes the weekly report.
What happens at 2 a.m.?
What your dial says. Fixes you allowed run and are checked; everything else waits with its evidence for the first person to look, or for one tap on a phone.
Can it do something we didn’t allow?
No. Risky steps never run on their own, and every step is recorded with who, what, why and when.
