Discovery

Discovery is an application of ACTIVE that uncovers the hidden digital estate - the sites organisations don’t know exist, but which still carry risk.

These so-called “Zombie Websites” accumulate over time through legacy projects, expired campaigns, departmental initiatives, or abandoned sub-domains, yet continue to consume resources and expose the organisation.

Using the intelligence to create a master profiling from present websites, using Ai to profile content of linked and associated website and mapping of domains and IP matches. Take to clients, Ai / innovation, identifying the unknown, and then project manage clean up / site removal.

Why it matters:

• Scale of the unknown: Audits show that around 32% of websites in government and public sector, and 41% across commercial organisations, are not visible to their own digital teams.
• Cost impact: Unknown sites consume hosting, licences, and maintenance spend without delivering value.
• Brand and compliance risk: Out-of-date content damages reputation and creates exposure around privacy and accessibility.
• Cyber risk: An estimated 18% of hacks or unauthorised access originate from websites outside digital team control.

How it helps:

• Uses AiSC’s AI engine to build a profile of the known and unknown estate.
• Identifies up to 85% of unknown sites, surfacing hidden risks and costs.
• Provides organisations with a structured view of their true footprint, including active, legacy, and unmanaged websites.
