What is ActiveComply?
About
ActiveComply is a compliance monitoring crawler that systematically scans social media platforms and websites to identify regulatory compliance violations for businesses in regulated industries like finance. You can see how often ActiveComply visits your website by setting up Dark Visitors agent analytics.
Expected Behavior
The behavior of intelligence gatherers depends on the goals of their clients. For example, a client might be interested in brand sentiment, in which case the agent would crawl related social media or blog posts at a more frequent rate than unrelated websites.
