A Private Status Page for Internal IT Services
Give employees one trusted place to check the VPN, office connectivity, authentication, and internal tools before they open another support ticket.

Stop turning every internal outage into repetitive chat noise
When VPN, SSO, Wi-Fi, or internal business systems fail, employees do not need more scattered messages. They need one current answer in one predictable place.
Fewer duplicate tickets
Known issues are visible before employees escalate them.
Less status chasing
Slack, Teams, and email become distribution channels, not the system of record.
Clear maintenance notices
Publish planned work before it surprises a whole office or team.

Office Locations
Connectivity
Berlin office network degradation
Users in the Berlin office may see slower connectivity while IT investigates an upstream circuit issue.
Built for the systems employees actually depend on
If you cannot group the services clearly, the page becomes clutter. These are the common buckets that work.
Office locations
Communicate region-specific power, network, or infrastructure issues without confusing unaffected teams.
VPN and authentication
Give remote employees a direct answer when access fails because VPN or SSO is degraded.
Internal applications
Track employee portals, CRM, ERP, intranets, internal APIs, and shared business systems.
Infrastructure
Show the status of core databases, servers, DNS, cloud services, and shared network dependencies.
Third-party services
Keep vendor incidents visible beside internal services so employees see the full operational picture.
Maintenance communication
Announce change windows, expected impact, and recovery progress in a format people can revisit.
Internal pages are just private status pages with a better audience fit
This is the part people often hand-wave. If the page contains internal operational detail, it should not be public. StatusPage.me handles that with private status pages, not a separate product.
- Password, IP allowlist, email magic links, Azure AD, Google Workspace, and generic OIDC access methods.
- Multiple methods can be enabled at once, so different employee groups can use what fits.
- Private page access is available on paid plans because privacy controls are not a free-plan toy feature.
Typical internal access model
Employees sign in with Microsoft work accounts.
Office networks and VPN ranges stay simple.
Useful for named stakeholders without shared passwords.
Works with Okta, Auth0, Keycloak, and similar providers.
Not every internal service should pretend to be a monitor target
The boring answer is the correct one: automate where the signal is reliable, manage the rest manually, and keep both on one page.
Manual components
Use manual status for offices, local IT services, or systems where an external uptime check would mislead more than help.
Automated monitors
Attach monitoring to websites, APIs, TCP ports, DNS, SSL, and any endpoint where automated checks represent reality.
Hybrid pages
Put monitored services beside manually managed ones so employees see one coherent internal service map instead of fragmented truth.
Communicate incidents and maintenance like IT owns operations, not chaos
A useful internal page shows the current state, the latest update, and enough history to stop people asking whether anyone is working on it.
Acknowledge the issue, name the affected groups or locations, and stop the rumor cycle early.
Add context as IT narrows the cause or applies a workaround. Short updates beat silence.
Close the issue clearly and preserve the history so the same questions do not restart tomorrow.
Group services by how IT actually operates them
Component groups also make large pages readable instead of turning them into a flat wall of status labels.
Let the right teams update the right parts of the page
Shared ownership without scoped permissions turns into either bottlenecks or mistakes. Teams and component-group permissions solve that without overcomplicating the workflow.
Read Group Permission DocsNetwork Team
Owns office connectivity, VPN, and related employee access issues.
Infrastructure Team
Owns servers, databases, cloud infrastructure, and core dependencies.
Business Systems
Owns CRM, ERP, intranet, and internal app communication.
Owners and Admins keep full access. Scoped Editor access depends on Teams and your plan.
Create one private source of truth for internal IT status
Start with the services employees ask about most. Keep the page private. Add monitors only where they provide a trustworthy signal. That is the practical setup, not the fantasy version.
