Shadow IT visibility

Shadow IT Scanner for Unknown Hosts and CMDB Gaps

Scantide helps administrators compare what the network actually exposes against what the organization believes it owns. Find reachable hosts, service evidence, TLS clues, web titles, banners and CMDB mismatches before they become blind spots.

Find unknown assets

Discover reachable internal hosts and visible services on authorized networks, then separate expected systems from unknown or unmanaged devices.

Compare against CMDB

Use discovered evidence to support CMDB and ServiceNow-style comparison workflows, including hosts that appear on the network but not in records.

Explain the evidence

Show IPs, DNS clues, web titles, service banners, TLS certificate details and report context so findings can be verified quickly.

What Scantide checks for Shadow IT review

Shadow IT detection is not only about finding an IP address. The value comes from evidence that helps an administrator decide what the host is and whether it belongs there.

Reachable hosts

Identify live hosts on authorized internal ranges and show them in a readable report.

Visible services

Review exposed services, common ports, web responses, TLS signals and service banners.

Ownership clues

Use DNS names, certificate subjects, web titles and observed metadata to support ownership review.

CMDB gaps

Highlight discovered systems that are missing, incomplete or mismatched in the known inventory.

Questions people ask

Clear answers for teams that want evidence, not just a red, yellow or green verdict.

What is a Shadow IT scanner?

A Shadow IT scanner helps find systems, services or devices that are visible on a network but may not be documented, approved or correctly represented in inventory records.

Does Scantide exploit hosts?

No. Scantide is designed around authorized visibility and observable evidence such as reachable hosts, services, banners, TLS clues and reportable metadata.

Can this help with CMDB cleanup?

Yes. The goal is to compare discovered hosts and evidence against known records so administrators can identify missing, stale or mismatched CMDB entries.

Who should use this?

IT administrators, security teams, infrastructure owners and audit teams that need practical evidence about what exists on authorized networks.

Use Scantide when the evidence matters

Scantide is built for readable security and privacy evidence: what was observed, where it was found, why it matters and what should be reviewed next.
