What an AI “Digital Employee” Actually Does

by Wendy Buck

An AI “digital employee” is software that takes over a defined role’s recurring work — monitoring outputs, interpreting results, drafting communications, answering questions — continuously and in plain language, the way a staff member would. The term is doing heavy marketing duty right now, attached to everything from a chatbot widget to genuine autonomous workflows. So … Read more

White-Label Website Operations Under Your Own Brand

by Wendy Buck

White-label website operations means a platform performs the monitoring, updates, security, backups, and reporting across your client sites — and every bit of it ships under your brand, at your price, as your service. The client sees your logo on the dashboard, your name on the monthly report, and your line item on the invoice. What … Read more

Phishing Simulations: What They Measure — and What They Miss

by Wendy Buck

Phishing simulations measure one behavior — how people respond to email lures — under conditions the organization controls. That’s genuinely useful and genuinely narrow. Run well, simulations are one of the few instruments that turn human risk into data. Run badly, they produce flattering numbers, resentful employees, and a false sense of coverage while attacks arrive … Read more

Turning “We Did the Training” Into a Number That Moves

by Wendy Buck

“We did the training” is a receipt. What leadership, clients, and insurers increasingly want is a reading — a human risk score that says how exposed the organization is right now and which direction it’s heading. If human risk isn’t a number that moves month over month, it isn’t being managed; it’s being documented. Here’s how … Read more

Agent vs. Agentless: The Cost of Standing Access

by Wendy Buck

An agent is software installed inside the environment being monitored; agentless monitoring observes from the outside, with no installed footprint. The agent sees more — that’s its pitch. But everything an agent can see, an attacker who compromises the agent’s vendor can reach. The choice between agent and agentless was framed for years as a depth-of-visibility … Read more

Why MSPs Are the Hardest Risk to Insure Right Now

by Wendy Buck

Cyber insurers have quietly reached the same conclusion we’ve been arguing: the provider holding the most access is the biggest risk. Underwriters now classify managed service providers among the highest-risk categories they cover — not because MSPs are careless, but because of what they hold: privileged, standing access to dozens or hundreds of client environments at once. … Read more

Why Tool Consolidation Is Risk Reduction, Not Just Cost Cutting

by Wendy Buck

Consolidation gets pitched to the CFO when it should be pitched to whoever loses sleep over a breach. The cost case for collapsing a ten-tool stack into a platform is real — we’ve run that math — but it’s the second-best argument. The best one is simpler: every tool in the stack is a door into the environments … Read more

One Platform vs. Ten Point Tools: The Real Math

by Wendy Buck

The point-tool stack usually wins the feature comparison and loses the business comparison. Each individual tool is best-in-class at its one job; the stack of ten is worst-in-class at the actual job — running many client environments profitably and safely. The math that matters isn’t feature depth per tool; it’s total cost, total risk, and total … Read more

Add Recurring Revenue Without Hiring Engineers

by Wendy Buck

The reason most agencies, MSPs, and consultants don’t sell more recurring services isn’t demand — it’s the belief that every new recurring dollar requires new recurring labor. More monitoring means more people watching dashboards; more security means more analysts; more client reports means more hours writing them. That equation was true for twenty years. It isn’t … Read more

Why Agencies Lose Money Babysitting Servers

by Wendy Buck

Most agencies reselling hosting are running a loss and calling it a revenue line. The markup on a hosting plan is small, fixed, and visible; the labor of babysitting what runs on that hosting is unbounded, unbilled, and invisible. One afternoon of “the site is acting weird” erases a year of margin on that client’s hosting … Read more

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Centry Engine platform ("Service"), operated by CMHWorks, LLC ("Company", "we", "us", or "our").

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you may not use the Service.

2. Use of the Service

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. You shall not misuse the Service or attempt to interfere with its normal operation.

3. Accounts and Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access or security breach.

4. Multi-Tenant Environment

The Service operates in a multi-tenant environment. Access to data is governed by role-based access control. You are responsible for ensuring your users comply with these controls.

5. Free Trial

New accounts begin with a free trial for the period stated at sign-up (no payment method required). During the trial you have full access to the Service. We will remind you before the trial ends. If you do not add a valid payment method and complete payment before the trial ends, your account is suspended as described in Section 6 — your data is retained during the retention window and no charge is made. Adding payment at any time converts the trial to a paid subscription with no interruption to your data or settings.

6. Fees, Payment, Suspension, and Data Retention

Paid features — including subscriptions, additional sites, full audits, and white-labeling — are billed at the prices shown at checkout. By completing a purchase you authorize us (and our payment processor) to charge your payment method for that purchase and, for recurring items, for each renewal term until the item is cancelled. Before each purchase you must confirm that you have read and agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

Agency accounts. If your account is an agency, you are solely responsible for paying for all purchases and charges incurred anywhere within your account, including every client tenant you create and the users within those tenants. Only an account administrator may make purchases or change the subscription; users within an agency's tenants cannot incur charges on their own, and the agency remains responsible for all such fees.

Renewals and cancellation. Recurring purchases renew automatically until cancelled. You may cancel from your account; cancellation takes effect at the end of your paid term — access continues until then, you are not charged again, and you may undo the cancellation anytime before the term ends. Fees already paid for the current term are not refunded on cancellation; see Section 7.

Suspension, retention, and deletion. If your trial ends unpaid, a recurring charge fails through its grace period, or you cancel and your paid term ends, your account is suspended: operational services pause, but you can still sign in and manage billing, and your data is retained. If you add payment during the retention window, your account reactivates with no data loss. If the retention window lapses without payment, your operational data is permanently deleted in accordance with our Refund & Cancellation Policy; billing and legal records are retained as required. After deletion, resuming use of the Service requires a new subscription and prior data cannot be restored. The trial length, grace period, and retention window are set in our billing configuration and may change; the deletion date shown to you on your cancellation confirmation and in the accompanying email is the date we are held to.

7. Refunds and Cancellation

Our Refund & Cancellation Policy forms part of these Terms and is incorporated by reference. It states in full when fees are and are not refundable, how to cancel, and what happens to your data. This Section summarizes its principal terms; where this Section and that Policy differ, the Policy governs. Cancellation. You may cancel at any time, without giving a reason and without a cancellation fee. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle or prepaid term, and may be reversed at any point before that date.

Subscription fees are not prorated. A monthly subscription cancelled part-way through a billing cycle is not refunded for the unused remainder — the Service continues to the end of that cycle instead. Annual and other prepaid-term subscription fees are non-refundable in whole or in part, including where the Service is unused or only partially used.

Professional services are non-refundable once work has commenced. This includes consulting, assessments, compliance engagements, integrations, development, implementation and training. Work is deemed to have commenced on the earlier of the scheduled start date, the first hour recorded against the engagement, or the point at which we reserve named personnel or purchase materials for it. Deposits, retainers and mobilization fees are non-refundable from that point and are credited against the engagement fee. Cancellation before work commences is refunded, less any third-party costs already incurred and any documented preparation costs.

Third-party costs are non-refundable. These include domain registrations, SSL/TLS certificates, Microsoft licenses and subscriptions, Amazon Web Services charges, Microsoft Azure charges, Cloudflare charges, premium plugins and themes, and any other third-party software license, subscription, marketplace purchase or usage-based cloud charge procured for you. They are billed on the supplier's terms, which we cannot override. Where a supplier refunds or credits us, we pass through the amount actually received, less any non-recoverable processing fees.

Hosting. Newly provisioned hosting accounts carry a 30-day money-back guarantee on the hosting plan fee, measured from the date the account is first provisioned. The guarantee excludes the third-party costs listed above, together with migration services and software licenses, and does not apply to renewal fees, reinstated accounts, or plan changes on an existing account. Renewal hosting fees are non-refundable.

When we do refund. We will review a refund request and, where it is substantiated, issue a refund in the following circumstances: duplicate billing; billing errors, including a charge made after a validly submitted cancellation; accidental multiple purchases of the same order; and a failure to provision a paid service that is attributable solely to us. Requests must be made within 60 days of the charge. We acknowledge a request within 2 business days, communicate a decision within 10 business days of a complete request, and issue an approved refund within 10 business days of that decision, to the original payment method in the original currency. Service credits are not refunds. Where a service level agreement applies, credits under it are applied against future invoices and are the sole remedy for service level shortfalls.

Termination for cause. No refund or credit is available where we suspend or terminate the Service under Section 12.

Services purchased outside the Service. Where you purchase professional services, managed services, hosting or other offerings under a separate order form, statement of work or master services agreement, the terms of that document govern that engagement, and the Refund & Cancellation Policy governs anything it does not address.

8. Data Ownership

You retain ownership of all data you submit to the Service. We act as a processor of your data solely for the purpose of providing the Service.

9. Acceptable Use

You shall not:

10. Availability

We strive to provide reliable access but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, CMHWorks, LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use of the Service.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to the Service at our discretion, including for violations of these Terms. Where we do so for fraud, abuse, a security threat, unlawful activity or a material breach of these Terms, no refund or credit is provided and any outstanding fees for the remainder of your term become immediately due.

13. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

2. How We Use Information

We use information to:

3. Data Processing Role

For customer data, we act as a data processor on behalf of our customers, who act as data controllers.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell personal information. Data may be shared with trusted service providers necessary to operate the Service, subject to confidentiality obligations.

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect information, including access controls and encryption where appropriate.

6. Data Retention

We retain information only as long as necessary to provide the Service and fulfill legal obligations.

When a term ends — by cancellation, by an unpaid trial, or by a lapsed grace period — your account is suspended rather than deleted: operational services pause, but you can still sign in and manage billing, and your data is retained. Adding payment during the retention window reactivates the account with no data loss. If the retention window lapses without payment, operational data is permanently deleted; billing and legal records are retained as required by law, and deletion cannot be reversed. The retention window is stated in our Refund & Cancellation Policy, which governs it. The exact deletion date is shown to you on your cancellation confirmation and in the accompanying email, and that is the date we are held to.

7. User Rights

You may request access to, correction, or deletion of your personal data through the Support page in your account, by writing to [email protected], or by post to the address in Section 10. Export tools are available in your account while it is active, and remain available while an account is suspended.

8. International Use

By using the Service, you acknowledge that your information may be processed in jurisdictions different from your own.
