About MonitorBase
Who we are
MonitorBase is made by Sjøbeck Digital in Haslev, Denmark. It watches the e-mail security, certificates and uptime of small companies' domains, from one account, with all data stored in Paris.
The founder
I'm Christian Sjøbeck.
For more than ten years, I've managed IT operations, information security, IT architecture and digital transformation.
Every setup, at home or in a business, is different, but they all share the same technologies and the same problem of being available on the internet. My vision for MonitorBase is a universal toolbox that removes the headaches every setup has, from the homelab to the global corporation. The threat landscape is more serious than ever, so there's no reason to make simple things more complicated than they are.
Welcome to MonitorBase.
I'm CISSP certified, and every answer you get comes from me, within 1–2 days.

Why MonitorBase exists
A mail record, a certificate date, a website that stops answering: each is a small detail, and each can stop a business for a day. Large companies have people who watch them. Most small companies have someone who "does the IT" next to their real job.
MonitorBase watches all three from one account and tells you in plain words what to fix: which service sends as your domain, which certificate is close to expiry, and where a website failed (DNS, certificate or server). It starts with a free check that anyone can run, with no sign-up.
How we work
The rules MonitorBase runs by, and where your data goes.
All data stored in Paris
Hosting, database, storage and outgoing mail run on Scaleway in Paris. Outage confirmation runs from Amsterdam and stores nothing.
European vendors only
Every vendor that touches your data is a European or Swiss company. None is a US company, so there are no US sub-processors.
A public sub-processor list
Every vendor is named below and in the privacy policy, with its country and what it does.
No cookies, no third-party trackers
The sites count visits with Umami, self-hosted in the EU. Fonts are self-hosted too.
Plain monthly billing
Prices in euro, ex. VAT. Card payments through Mollie in the Netherlands. Monthly, and you can cancel any time.
Honest about being small
Sjøbeck Digital is a Danish sole proprietorship. There is no call centre and no live chat: you write, and I answer within 1–2 days. Phone support comes with Enterprise.
Who touches your data
Four sub-processors, all European or Swiss. Payments run through Mollie, which handles card payments as an independent controller.
