Our Methodology

Built on Law. Verified by Results.

Every finding SiteProof AI surfaces is mapped to a specific legal article — not a best guess. Here's how we approach website AI compliance scanning.

What We Analyze

Four principles that define how every free AI compliance scan works.

Public Surface Only

We analyze what any visitor sees: your pages, chatbots, forms, policies, and published content. We never access your backend, database, or internal systems.

Legal Precision

Every finding references a specific regulation and article (EU AI Act Article 50, GDPR Article 22, CCPA §1798.100). No generic warnings — only cited issues.

Point-in-Time Analysis

Each scan is a snapshot. Websites change; compliance requirements evolve. That's why continuous monitoring matters.

Honest Limitations

Automated scanning cannot detect internal AI tools, employee AI usage, or contractual obligations. We tell you what we can't see.

Four Compliance Modules

Each module focuses on a specific area of AI compliance. Together, they provide a comprehensive view of your website's compliance posture.

AI Disclosure Scanner

Checks whether your chatbots, AI-generated content, and automated decisions are disclosed as required by EU AI Act Article 50 transparency obligations.

What it detects

  • Chatbots and virtual assistants not identified as AI-powered
  • AI-generated content published without transparency disclosures
  • Recommendation systems operating without adequate transparency
  • Automated decision-making without required explanations
  • Missing AI usage disclosures in terms of service or user-facing pages

AI Privacy Scanner

Detects GDPR and CCPA AI compliance gaps: missing cookie consent for AI tools, undisclosed data transfers to AI APIs, and inadequate privacy policies.

What it detects

  • AI-related cookies deployed without proper consent mechanisms
  • User data potentially sent to third-party AI APIs without notice
  • Privacy policies that may not adequately address AI data processing
  • International data transfers to AI model providers lacking safeguards
  • AI systems processing personal data beyond disclosed purposes

AI Content Quality Scanner

Verifies your AI content disclosure requirements are met and flags AI-generated content that lacks proper labeling under emerging regulations.

What it detects

  • Content exhibiting patterns commonly associated with AI generation
  • Pages lacking E-E-A-T signals (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness)
  • Thin or repetitive content that could trigger search engine quality filters
  • Missing author attribution or editorial oversight indicators
  • Content quality issues that could undermine regulatory credibility

AI Risk Assessment

A guided questionnaire that uncovers hidden compliance risks automated scanning cannot detect — internal AI tools, HR systems, vendor relationships.

What it detects

  • Internal AI tools and systems not visible from outside your website
  • AI-powered HR, recruitment, or employee monitoring systems
  • Third-party AI vendor relationships creating shared compliance obligations
  • Data processing activities that may require a DPIA
  • AI governance gaps — missing policies, training, or oversight structures

What We Don't Do

Transparency means being honest about our limitations.

We do NOT claim content is "X% AI-generated" — we identify characteristics that may warrant review

We do NOT guarantee compliance — we detect potential issues for your review

We do NOT replace legal advice — always consult a qualified professional for compliance decisions

We do NOT store the HTML of scanned websites — only URLs, findings, scores, and content hashes

We do NOT access password-protected areas — our analysis is limited to publicly accessible content

We do NOT execute JavaScript — our analysis is based on the static HTML source of your pages

We do not provide legal advice, legal certification, or regulatory approval. Our reports are informational tools designed to help your team identify and prioritize potential compliance gaps.

Data Privacy & Security

We take the security of your data seriously. Here's how we protect the information involved in every scan.

No HTML Storage

Raw HTML is discarded after analysis. We retain only a content hash for change detection between scans.

Robots.txt Respected

We honor your robots.txt directives. If you block our crawler, those pages will not be scanned.

Identifiable Crawler

Our crawler identifies itself in every request, allowing you to verify and control access through your robots.txt or server configuration.

Minimal Data Retention

We store only URLs, findings, compliance scores, and content hashes. Free scan data is deleted after 24 hours.
