Companies + tags

Group targets by business unit, acquisition, or product. Filter findings per-tenant; share scoped reports.

Last updated May 27, 2026

What it is

Two orthogonal organising axes that sit beside your raw target list:

  • Companies: a foreign-key on every target. One target belongs to one company at a time. Use it for acquisitions, business units, customers (if you’re an MSSP), portfolio holdings.
  • Tags: free-form many-to-many strings on targets. Use them for cross-cutting concerns: pci, prod, q4-audit, team-payments.

What it produces

  • Companies live in their own table; each has a name + slug + asset inventory.
  • Tags are stored per target and roll up into the SmartSearch token grammar (tag:pci).

What to use it for

  • MSSPs / consultancies: one workspace per customer feels heavy; one company per customer inside one workspace is exactly the granularity that works.
  • Acquisitions: drop newly-acquired companies into their own bucket; report on their surface separately during integration.
  • Compliance scoping: tag:pci is a one-token query that pulls every host in your PCI scope.
  • Per-customer reports: the per-target report can be filtered by company and shared via cinematic replay.

Why it matters

A flat target list is fine until you have 200 of them. Past that, every conversation starts with “wait, which environment is this in?” The two-axis grouping fixes that without forcing you into a hierarchy that breaks the first time someone asks about a cross-cutting concern (everything that’s PCI, regardless of company).

Why it’s valuable

  • No workspace split needed for MSSPs. Companies do the work one-workspace-per-customer would otherwise force.
  • Tags are cheap. Add q4-audit to 30 targets; remove it when the audit’s over.
  • First-class in every filter. company:Reddit kev:true, tag:pci severity:critical, etc.

How to use it

Admin → Companies → Add company. Then on each target’s edit drawer, pick the company. Tags are an inline editor on the target list. Click a target row, type a tag, hit enter.

In SmartSearch:

company:"Acme" kev:true               # KEV exposure for one company
tag:pci severity:critical             # critical findings in PCI scope
company:"NewCo Acquisition" age:7d    # newly-acquired surface, 7d
