Continuous Online Risk Monitoring and Detection
Scout watches public sources and your own data around the clock, finds the post that matters, keeps the screenshot and source, and tells you which of 1,400+ risk scenarios it describes. Your team triages it, alerts on it, reports on it, or pushes it into your own systems. When an event needs a deeper investigation, Scout hands the evidence and starting entities to Nexus.

From Raw Content to Intelligence
How Scout Processes Risk Information
Scout collects, normalizes, enriches, classifies, and delivers. Classification reads what the content describes: a recalled product still on shelves, a threat against a named person, a credential dump naming your domain.
Collect
Acquire public content and customer-provided data through continuous monitors, collectors, imports, feeds, email, webhooks, API, and browser capture.
Normalize
Convert different source formats, languages, timestamps, fields, media descriptions, and metadata into a consistent intelligence record.
Enrich
Extract people, organizations, locations, domains, accounts, products, infrastructure, and other entities needed for investigation and routing.
Classify
Assign the risk scenario, domain, topic, intent, sentiment, severity, and supporting context to each item.
Alert
Route validated or policy-matched intelligence to dashboards, email, webhooks, API consumers, reports, and downstream workflows.
Contextual risk classification
Identify the event, emerging signal, or impact described by the content and apply one or more supported scenarios.
Sentiment and hostility analysis
Detect anger, hostility, escalation, and adverse tone while preserving the underlying content and evidence.
Entity extraction
Identify people, organizations, locations, products, domains, accounts, and other entities for filtering, investigation, and correlation.
Topic and narrative classification
Organize content by subject, theme, campaign, issue, and recurring narrative.
Multilingual processing
Normalize and classify content across more than 40 languages.
Evidence-aware context
Preserve source links, screenshots, timestamps, visible claims, extracted facts, confidence, and the distinction between evidence and inference.
First-Party Collection
Monitor the source types that match the problem
Scout uses DigitalStakeout-operated first-party collection infrastructure across supported surface web, social media, dark web, forums, blogs, search engines, DNS, direct inputs, and connected systems.
The solution can combine continuous monitoring with customer-provided data, APIs, webhooks, and authorized integrations. Source availability can change, so scope is validated against the mission during setup and reviewed as sources change.

Scout to Nexus
Use the alert as the first pivot
Scout detects the event and preserves the evidence. Move the alert, source material, entities, selectors, and context into Nexus, then use dozens of transforms and investigation modules to expand what is known, resolve identities, reveal relationships, and build a source-backed investigation.
Scout establishes the signal
Alert and preserved evidence
Start with the source, timestamp, captured content, extracted entities, and operating context behind the alert.
Nexus expands the investigation
Transforms, modules, and connected analysis
Enrich entities, follow connections, correlate findings, compare prior cases, and preserve every source-backed step in the investigation graph.
Identity and account transforms
Pivot from names, aliases, emails, phone numbers, usernames, addresses, and employers to resolve identities and discover connected accounts.
Domain and infrastructure transforms
Expand domains, DNS records, IP addresses, hostnames, certificates, registration details, and related infrastructure into a connected asset view.
Breach and exposure modules
Investigate leaked credentials, exposed personal data, compromised accounts, and the people or organizations connected to the exposure.
Website and document modules
Trace websites, pages, captured content, files, metadata, changes, ownership, and related entities while retaining source context.
Location and relationship pivots
Connect geo-tagged or geo-inferred activity to places, facilities, routes, events, people, organizations, and other evidence.
Historical and cross-case analysis
Compare prior content, recurring patterns, timelines, entities, and related cases to reveal context that a single alert cannot show.
Operational Delivery
Put intelligence where work already happens
Scout supports live triage, dashboards, alert routing, saved analysis, API delivery, and repeatable reporting. DigitalStakeout services can also be embedded to perform selected monitoring, validation, investigation, mitigation, or reporting functions.
