Website Snapshots

🌐 Website Snapshots

"Capture the web if you don't feel like screenshotting."
Keep reliable records of online articles, requirements, or vulnerability descriptions.



1️⃣ Why Website Snapshots?

How often have you:

  1. Exported a webpage as a PDF,
  2. Or bookmarked it,
  3. Only to later find it changed or gone?


📌 With Website Snapshots, you can capture and save webpages inside Brainframe — creating immutable evidence that stays searchable.



2️⃣ Creating a Snapshot

Simply enter any URL, and Brainframe will:

  1. Generate an image snapshot of the page.
  2. Index keywords from the site for easy search later on.



💡 Use snapshots to capture:

  • Legal requirements
  • Terms & conditions
  • Technical documentation
  • Vulnerability advisories



3️⃣ Resulting Document

After creation, you’ll get a new document representing the website.



Each snapshot includes:

  1. Document name — The snapshot name.
  2. Original URL — Link to the page.
  3. Snapshot image — Stored version at time of capture (accessible even if page is deleted).
  4. Linked documents — For example, linking a vulnerability snapshot to its related supplier (see Dependency Tracking).


📌 Snapshots can be tied to risks, processes, or suppliers for audit-ready traceability.



4️⃣ Best Practices

  • 📌 Use snapshots for regulatory references and vulnerability feeds if you don't have time to create a document immediately.
  • 💡 Always link snapshots to related documents for context.
  • 🗂️ Store snapshots in dedicated folders (e.g., Vulnerabilities, Legal).
  • 🔍 Rely on keyword indexing to quickly retrieve historical captures.



🎯 Visual Checklist

  • [x] Snapshot created from URL
  • [ ] Snapshot linked to related supplier/risk
  • [ ] Snapshot folder organized
