About Pareto Security
Pareto Security sits in the menu bar and periodically runs a set of basic hygiene checks, such as whether disk encryption, the firewall, screen locking, Gatekeeper and software updates are configured sensibly. Failed checks are listed with guidance on how to fix them.
It reports problems rather than changing settings on its own, so it suits people who want a lightweight reminder instead of a full endpoint management tool. The company behind it also offers team features as a separate service.
