Tags are defined by the company to identify assets that belong to them. About tags:
- Tags can be assigned to assets attributed to your My Company or to subsidiaries with a My Subsidiary subscription.
- Tags can be inherited by a child asset from its parent asset.
- Tags are informational and do not result in changes to infrastructure attribution.
- Applicable to IP/CIDR and domain assets; Not applicable to mobile assets.
Use tags to:
- Add context to findings as they arise.
- Categorize your SPM subsidiaries by headquarters, location, department, or business unit for your internal teams and reduce response times.
- Let others know which of your corporate networks are for testing or guests.
- Communicate which issues your company is actively working on.
- Signify ownership.
Example: Create a private tag identifying the owner (user or team) of the infrastructure.
- Once parts of your infrastructure have been tagged, the following pages can be filtered by these tags:
- Attribution – Filter assets by tags to get a clear overview of which tags belong to a subnet.
- Findings – Search for findings that have and are related to only that tag.
- Define custom infrastructure.

Tag Inheritance
Tags are inherited from its parent asset. If a parent asset is tagged with a specific attribute, the child assets inherit the same tag. Tags on the child asset are not inherited by the parent.
- A tag on a CIDR block is automatically applied to all IPs on that block.
- A tag on a domain applies to its subdomains.
Example: The
saperix.com
domain has a tag. Thesub.saperix.com
subdomain inherits the same tag.
Tag Visibility
Tags may either be visible to all Bitsight users (public) or to only users within your My Company (private).
- Public tags are visible to anyone with that company in their portfolio.
