FR has been a great resource before, so I'll give it a whirl here: Some friends of mine have a rather "adventurous" teenage daughter. As a result, they are looking for recommendations on the best options to STEALTHILY monitor her Windows 10 PC and IOS smartphone.
While I am an IT type, I have zero experience or knowledge of this stuff as I never really needed it with my now adult sons.
Thanks in advance!
Yeah...don’t do it. Trust your child, but verify what she tells you.
for the mobile device, look at AirWatch or MaaS360.
for the desktop, not too sure.
you can get it for PC's and Cell Phones.
"SpyAgent" is another one.
Windows 10? Ask Microsoft, they monitor it with that OS.
You aren’t fooling us, Hillary.

It used to be easier to manage back when it was just desktop PCs, but now kids carry a mini-pc around with them (smartphones).
(I’m glad I grew up in a world where you had to hunt down a payphone.)
Teens are very adventurous at a much earlier age now.
You can use the web filtering portion to block entire categories of sites, such as porn, gambling, etc.
For times when she's on the phone's cellular network you might check with your network provider (Verizon, etc) to see what kind of parental controls they offer.

Heh. Yeah, the usual question re:Win10 is “How can I stop MS from monitoring everything I do?”

Double “Heh”!
Huge benefit: it can be done anonymously and no additional software is required. Only a change to two entries in your router.
Bkmrk.
LOL!
Nah - believe it or not I’m uglier than her!
That is standard for them, but this once has some emotional issues, as well, and they want to take it an extra step.
They have all that covered already. They want keylogging, social media monitoring, etc.

Thanks for the link!
Veriato is my go-to publisher for “spy software” at my business. It can record all activity on the computer, email, key logging, web activity, and you can set it to take screenshots at regular intervals. It’s more of a business product though, so you might be able to find something similar designed for home use that is cheaper.

If she becomes a goth person then worry.
