The solution

Business Watchdog gets the worst out of the Internet. It provides safe, efficient Internet access by blocking all unsuitable material while still allowing unlimited access to other sites. Because the material is blocked at Watchdog (the ISP), there is no special software or training required at your company.

Business Watchdog matches web sites by their direct address (or URL) avoiding the limitations of ‘keyword’ technology.

Watchdog has over 250,000 sites in its blocking library, and they’re updated daily.
Watchdog’s unique technology delivers a blocking effectiveness in excess of 99.9% without limiting performance, so users enjoy maximum benefit from their Internet connection.

Watchdog’s high-speed fibre backbones to its telecommunication providers ensures that growth can be easily accommodated.
