Private Status Pages with Granular Access Control

In “Status Pages That Build Trust”, we showed how transparent communication calms customers during outages. Now we’re taking the next step: private status pages with granular access control for teams that need to share incident context selectively. Think of updating investors, enterprise customers, or internal stakeholders without making it publicly accessible.

Public status pages are like broadcast radio. Private status pages are like encrypted group chats: only the right people hear the message.

Why Private Status Pages Matter

• Enterprise customers expect exclusivity: Strategic accounts often demand incident transparency without exposing competitive data publicly.
• Security-first industries need control: Regulated teams must know exactly who can see uptime, postmortems, or planned maintenance.
• Internal teams need focused signal: IT, Customer Success, and Leadership need different levels of detail without digging through public feeds.

Private status pages deliver all the storytelling power from our previous article, including historical uptime, contextual messaging and proactive alerts, but wrap it in the access policies your organization already enforces.

Granular Access Control, Built In

Authentication Required

Create status pages that are only accessible for users of a specific All Quiet Organization. Invite individuals via email, or bulk import per copy-paste from CSV. Create multiple pages and different services for each, so finance isn't bothered by dev-tools noise.

IP-Based Allow Lists

Layer on network-level control for extra-sensitive pages. Only devices coming from approved office networks, VPN ranges, or customer CIDRs can view the page, even if they have an invite. Perfect for SOC 2 / ISO 27001 controls and MSP scenarios.

Flexible Communication Patterns

Targeted Incident Narratives

Tailor the language per audience. Engineering teams can see full root causes on the platform, while external stakeholders get business-friendly impact statements. One incident, multiple narratives, zero copy/paste.

Proactive Outreach Without Oversharing

Combine private pages with subscriber notifications (email or SMS) so only approved recipients get alerted. People outside the allow list can never access the URL, even if someone forwards it.

Set Up in Minutes

1. Start from scratch with your branding.
2. Enable authentication and only allow authenticated All Quiet users to access the page.
3. Configure IP allow lists and restrict access to specific IP addresses or CIDR ranges.
4. Publish and test: use dummy incidents to verify access and notifications.

Already running public pages? Keep them. Private pages can simply reuse the same services, incidents, and automations. No duplication needed.

From Trust to Partnership

Public transparency builds trust. Private transparency builds partnership. When key stakeholders know you can communicate selectively, they give you more runway during incidents and more credit after resolution.
