    Supported management paths use the agent’s outbound connection. Investigate the service through the tools your role permits.

    Connection modes ↗
  4. 04 / REVIEW

    Keep monitoring and recovery in view.

    Check performance history and available recovery points. Backup consumption and managed recovery work are priced separately.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Built for infrastructure
you don’t want exposed.

Keep management access controlled while working across the infrastructure you already run.

01 / EXPOSURE

Close the public management door.

Supported agents connect outbound. You do not normally need public inbound SSH, RDP or other management ports for these paths.

02 / IDENTITY

Put identity in control.

Individual accounts and permissions govern access. Supported passkeys unlock the keychain used for protected owner-key operations.

03 / INDEPENDENCE

Keep your hosting. Connect your estate.

Enrol compatible systems across existing hosting providers and sites. Central’s relay infrastructure supports the connection paths between them.

Connection modes have different encryption boundaries. Review service publishing and endpoint encryption ↗

LESS SWITCHING. MORE DOING.

See it. Reach it.

SECURITY, IN THE PRODUCT

Identity before access.
Approval before change.

See Central’s actual Secrets prompt, device workspace and maintenance approvals. Follow the choices that protect a new connection or a planned change.

Central / Open a deviceACTUAL UI · DEMO DATA
Central security UI: Opening a device asks for Secrets. Simulated demonstration.
01 / 03

Protected access

Opening a device asks for Secrets.

When protected keys are locked, Control home brings up Central’s Secrets prompt. Signing in alone has not opened this new device connection.

Open a device
Central security UI: Confirm with your authenticator. Simulated demonstration.
02 / 03

Verify identity

Confirm with your authenticator.

Choose Unlock Secrets. Central shows the verification step; your browser or authenticator handles the passkey check.

Open a device
Central security UI: Then open the device tools. Simulated demonstration.
03 / 03

Continue

Then open the device tools.

After Secrets is unlocked, retry the connection if requested. This example reaches Terminal, View Screen and File Manager in the actual workspace.

Review

See which host needs a change.

Review the affected device and the maintenance request. Unlocking Secrets and approving this item are separate decisions.

Approve maintenance
Central security UI: Access to keys needs your choice. Simulated demonstration.
02 / 06

Unlock

Access to keys needs your choice.

The original Secrets prompt explains why this infrastructure change needs saved credentials. Choose whether to continue.

Approve maintenance
Central security UI: Verify before continuing. Simulated demonstration.
03 / 06

Verify

Verify before continuing.

Central waits for verification. This captures its own UI; browser and operating-system authentication prompts are not recreated.

Approve maintenance
Central security UI: Unlocking does not approve the change. Simulated demonstration.
04 / 06

Still pending

Unlocking does not approve the change.

Secrets is now unlocked in this example, but the maintenance item is still waiting. You still need to review and approve it.

Approve maintenance
Central security UI: Choose when the agent may start. Simulated demonstration.
05 / 06

Choose a time

Choose when the agent may start.

Select an earliest start time, review the affected host, then approve the update. The UI explains that services may restart.

Approve maintenance
Central security UI: The approval is recorded. Simulated demonstration.
06 / 06

Approval recorded

The approval is recorded.

Central removes the approved item from the pending queue. The agent’s scheduled work and its outcome are separate from this approval record.

Approve maintenance

Central / Cancel the unlockACTUAL UI · DEMO DATA
Central security UI: You can choose not to unlock. Simulated demonstration.
01 / 02

Your choice

You can choose not to unlock.

The actual prompt offers Cancel as well as Unlock Secrets. This is a new protected connection while Secrets is locked.

Cancel the unlock
Central security UI: The device connection stays blocked. Simulated demonstration.
02 / 02

Access stays closed

The device connection stays blocked.

Cancelling leaves Secrets locked in this example. Central shows the unlock requirement rather than opening the device tools.

Cancel the unlock

Actual Central components with fictional devices and simulated verification, connections and approvals. No live device action is performed.

How these checks fit together

Signing in and unlocking Secrets are separate steps. For supported protected operations, a passkey helps unlock the keychain containing owner keys and saved credentials. A configured unlock session may cover more than one action.

WebAuthn verification belongs to your browser and authenticator. Biometric data is not sent to Central. This demonstration captures Central’s own UI; it does not recreate a browser or operating-system authentication prompt.

Maintenance and configuration changes still require the appropriate permissions and approval. An approval record is separate from an agent’s acknowledgement, execution and reported outcome.

A FEW THINGS, UP FRONT

Questions before
you get started?

Understand what’s included, how access works and where to start.

Visit the Trust Centre ↗
Do I need to move my infrastructure?

No. Keep your existing servers, hosting and IT provider. Install the Central agent on supported machines and enrol them into your organisation. See the first-device guide.

What is included in a Central plan?

All Central software features and unlimited authorised users for compatible enrolled devices, plus standard monitoring, administration and interactive remote access. Backup consumption, cloud resources and managed services are separate. Compare packages and service boundaries.

How is remote access secured?

Supported management paths use outbound agent connections, so you do not normally need a public inbound management port. Access depends on identity, permissions and the connection mode. Read the security and architecture details.

Can DC Core help us get started?

Yes. Send your work email and organisation through the Central form. We’ll confirm access and billing timing before activation and provide setup steps. Our team can assist with your first deployment. Start with Central.
