New addition to spektrAI: Website Legitimacy Checks

spektr has introduced a new tool to its AI toolkit: the website legitimacy checker. This latest feature helps teams quickly assess the legitimacy of company websites by analyzing key digital markers and comparing them against trusted sources.

Designed to improve decision-making during onboarding and ongoing monitoring, the tool delivers real-time insights into a company’s online presence — all without the need for manual checks or third-party searches.

What It Checks – and Why It Matters

The website legitimacy checker scans a company’s website and surfaces essential signals, including:

• Website age: is it brand new or a seasoned domain?

• Domain reputation: is it flagged or trusted in global records?

• Contact information availability: are there clear, legitimate details available?

• Linked social media profiles: is the company active across verified platforms?

• Presence and quality of Terms & Conditions: is there a legitimate legal presence?

It doesn’t stop at detection. The AI behind the checker cross-references collected data with official records to flag inconsistencies or missing elements. For example, it will call out when a company claims to operate in one country but the domain is registered elsewhere, or when there’s no contact information available or legal documentation present.

AI-Driven, Configurable, and Built for Scale

At its core, the website legitimacy checker is powered by a configurable AI agent that supports both one-time checks and continuous compliance workflows.

• It gathers and verifies information from public sources.

• Discrepancies are flagged automatically, contributing to a company’s dynamic risk score.

• Teams can tailor requirements and thresholds to align with internal policies or specific regulatory needs.

Better Risk Signals, Less Manual Work

Instead of relying on surface-level data, the checker goes deeper. It highlights issues that might otherwise go unnoticed, such as inactive or recently created domains, broken or missing contact details, lack of social or regulatory presence, and low-quality or non-existent T&C documentation. These factors help compliance and risk teams prioritize reviews and reduce time spent chasing missing data.

Try It Live

The tool is available to test right now. You can book a short demo with one of spektr’s founders or try it out for yourself first to get a feel of it. Ultimately, this addition to spektrAI is built to support teams by helping them focus on what matters: trusted, verifiable data.
