The platform observes real browser execution, not configuration, capturing every script, pixel, and third or fourth-party tool as it runs, and using AI to detect malicious code, unauthorized data flows, and behavioral change the moment it happens. It deploys with zero code changes, zero agents, and no access to customer data, typically live within one business day. One engine powers four hubs, each answering a different question about the same website: Security Hub detects web threats that traditional tools like WAFs miss, from Magecart skimming to AI-generated scripts. Privacy Hub verifies user data is only collected and shared as authorized, supporting GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and PIPEDA. Offensive Hub runs continuous, agentic penetration testing at up to 10x the capacity of manual pentesting. PCI Module automates PCI DSS 4.0.1 Requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1 with audit-ready evidence. Together they give Security, Privacy, Compliance, and Digital teams one 360-degree view of web risk instead of four disconnected tools.
