What Does the Auto-Discovery
AI Agent Do?
It automatically discovers new third-party associations using configured internal discovery integrations such as identity providers, ITSM tools, cloud platforms, and more:
WHOIS, DNS, SSL
Connected apps, servers
JavaScript trackers
Email infrastructure
Public metadata
Subdomain mapping
How it Works
Triggers discovery on schedule, via UI action, or an API call
Analyzes access patterns, usage metadata, and system references
Compares discovered entities against existing third-party inventory
Attaches source of discovery and records the rationale for inclusion
Flags unregistered or unknown third parties for internal reviews
"SAFE uncovers shadow third-parties and unmanaged SaaS tools that pose real risk exposure. By eliminating these blind spots, we’ve significantly strengthened our third-party risk posture across the organization."

FAQ
How is the Auto-discovery agent triggered?
The agent can be triggered via a scheduled scan (e.g., daily or weekly), a manual UI action, or through an API call. It requires your organization’s primary domain(s) as input to begin discovery.
How does the agent decide if a discovered entity is a third party
Each entity is evaluated using access patterns, metadata, and observed references. The agent provides the source of discovery (e.g., DNS record, internal log) and a rationale (e.g., domain activity, API usage) for inclusion in the review list.
What happens after third parties are discovered?
Discovered third parties appear in a review list, with timestamps, source, and rationale. Risk teams can review and add relevant entries to the official third-party inventory with a single click—ensuring no vendor goes unnoticed.
