Astralis Overview: Website Monitoring

What this video covers

Astralis provides AI-native website monitoring for privacy and consent. It detects assets such as cookies, pixels, JavaScript tags, and network requests, discovers which vendors they belong to, and classifies them by processing purpose, consent category, and risk using the Astralis Large Language Risk & Regulatory Model (LLRM). It then updates your record of processing activities and consent management platform automatically, on Fides.

This video walks through:

• Website, cookie, and pixel/tracker scanning across cookies, pixels, JavaScript, and HTTP/XHR requests
• Geographic monitoring that detects assets loading differently by region, configurable to locations such as the United States and Canada
• Vendor grouping by the LLM classifier, covering vendors like Google Analytics, HubSpot, and LinkedIn, with consent categories assigned automatically (Analytics, Essential, Functional, Marketing)
• Accepting or rejecting detected vendors, then pushing them to your asset inventory and consent management platform in one step
• Automatic CMP updates including TCF purposes, data uses, and legal bases, with scheduled re-scans on a weekly, monthly, or quarterly cadence

How it works

You connect the website as an integration and create a monitor, choosing the geographies to scan from and turning on the Astralis classifier. The monitor runs on a schedule and reports findings to the assigned steward. Detected assets appear grouped by vendor with their consent categories already assigned. Approving a vendor adds it to the data inventory and updates the consent management platform together, so vendor records, TCF purposes, and legal bases stay aligned with what is actually running on the site.
