Shine a light on Shadow Contracts

Sting is not a vendor management system. It monitors and intercepts real-time binding moments before they become invisible enterprise liabilities, including:

  • Signups via personal or unmonitored accounts.

  • Free trial activations with buried clickwrap terms.

  • Direct transactions with unmanaged, unknown vendors.

  • Amount of time spent on vendor sites

Sting illuminates shadow activity at the browser edge before contracts bypass legal and procurement oversight.
