Web Auditor

Web Auditor scans and identifies compliance violations with AdTech signals.

Transcend's Web Auditor operates as a real user on your website. It uses a real web browser, records session data, and analyzes this data for compliance issues.

Running your first scan

1. Visit the Web Auditor -> Runs section on the Admin Dashboard.
2. Click "Run Web Auditor".
3. Input your URL to scan.
4. Click "Run". You can use the default Browser Automation steps.
5. Click "View Results".

The scan should be finished in less than a minute, and then you can see the scan results. Once the scan is complete, head over to the "Findings" tab to view any potential compliance issues:

Here, you'll see an overview of findings—potential compliance problems—together with their severity level. You can drill down into the network requests or cookies that caused a finding by clicking the "View Requests" or "View Cookies" button on the finding. You can also use the "Network Requests" and "Cookies" tabs to inspect the full set of data processing activities encountered on your website.

Download a PDF summary of findings

To share the scan results, you can download a PDF of the findings in your report.

To download the summary report, click "Download" on the Runs page.

Scan errors

If a scan failed, the "Summary" tab will show an error message detailing the error.

Depending on the error, you may need to:

• Modify the Browser Automation steps to suit your website.
• Allow us to scan your website if you're using bot protection technology.
• Re-run the scan.

Schedule a recurring scan

Now that you've run your first scan, you can schedule a recurring scan. Simply visit the "Schedules" page, click "New Schedule", and set up your scan settings and the scan frequency.
