Compliance on Autopilot: Introducing Scheduled Scans

April 17, 2026

Compliance isn't a one-time event. Your site changes every sprint — new trackers get injected by marketing, cookie banners break after a redesign, and third-party scripts quietly regress your accessibility score. The question isn't if something will slip through, it's when.

Until now, catching those regressions meant remembering to log into Sigentra and hitting "Scan Now." That worked for launch day. It doesn't work for production at scale.

Today, that changes.

Introducing Scheduled Scans

You can now configure a fully automated CRON schedule for every domain in your Sigentra dashboard. Set it once, and your compliance scans run on autopilot — hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or any custom interval you define.

Here's what you get:

  • Full CRON expression support — Not just "daily" or "weekly" dropdowns. You get the real thing: 0 9 * * 1 for every Monday at 9 AM, 0 */6 * * * for every 6 hours, or any standard 5-part CRON expression your ops team is already familiar with.

  • Category-level control — Choose exactly which scans to automate. Run Accessibility and Privacy checks nightly, but only scan for Trackers once a week. You decide.

  • Timezone-aware scheduling — Your scans fire at the time you expect, whether you're in UTC, America/New_York, or Asia/Tokyo.

  • Email summary reports — After every scheduled scan completes, you get a detailed email breakdown: critical issues, warnings, passed checks, and a direct link to your dashboard. No need to log in to check if something broke — it comes to you.

  • Credit-aware execution — Each category costs 1 credit per run. If you're running low, the system skips that run and keeps your schedule active for next time. No surprise charges, no silent failures.

Why This Matters

Compliance drift is invisible

Your site was compliant last Tuesday. That doesn't mean it's compliant today. A single npm update, a new analytics snippet from your growth team, or a CMS change from a content editor can introduce violations that won't surface until an auditor (or a lawsuit) finds them.

Scheduled scans turn compliance from a reactive firefight into a continuous, background process. Issues get flagged the day they appear — not three months later during a regulatory review.

Your team shouldn't be doing this manually

Every hour your engineering team spends running compliance checks manually is an hour they're not building product. Scheduled scans eliminate that toil entirely. Configure it once, and the only time compliance appears on your radar is when there's actually something to fix.

It's the foundation for Agentic Compliance

This is the first step toward something much bigger. Scheduled scans create the continuous data pipeline that future agentic features will build on. Imagine: Sigentra detects a critical accessibility regression at 3 AM, files a GitHub issue with the exact fix, your CI agent applies it, and Sigentra re-scans to verify — all before your team wakes up.

That future starts with a reliable, automated scan cadence. Today's release is that foundation.

How to Set It Up

  1. Navigate to any domain in your Sigentra dashboard
  2. Click "Set Schedule" in the schedule bar below your domain header
  3. Pick a frequency — choose a preset or write a custom CRON expression
  4. Select your scan categories — Accessibility, Privacy, Trackers, Cookies, or all four
  5. Confirm your timezone and hit "Create Schedule"

That's it. Your scans will run automatically on your defined schedule, and you'll receive an email summary after each run.

You can pause, edit, or remove your schedule at any time — no lock-in, no commitments.

What's Next

Scheduled scans are the backbone of what's coming. Here's a preview of the roadmap:

  • Slack and webhook notifications — Get scan results where your team already works
  • Threshold-based alerts — Only notify when critical issues exceed a count you define
  • Auto-remediation — For certain issue types, Sigentra will fix them before you even see the report
  • MCP integration — Let any AI agent query your compliance status and trigger scans programmatically

We're building toward a world where compliance isn't a task on your sprint board — it's invisible infrastructure that just works.

"The best compliance workflow is the one your team never has to think about."
