Why Domain Security Matters
Your domain is the front door to your brand online. If someone gains control of it, they can intercept email, take down your website, or impersonate your company.
Hartzer Consulting helps organizations review and strengthen their domain security posture before there is a problem.
Registrar & Account Security
- Using reputable registrars with strong security features
- Enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all accounts
- Separating user roles and limiting who can make critical changes
- Locking domains to prevent unauthorized transfers
DNS & Configuration Practices
- DNS provider selection and redundancy
- DNSSEC options and considerations
- Monitoring for unexpected DNS changes
- Protecting MX records and critical subdomains
Renewal & Portfolio Management
- Setting up auto-renew with backup payment methods
- Centralizing records of key domains and contacts
- Monitoring expiry dates and grace periods
- Identifying domains that need additional protection
Incident Preparedness
Part of domain security is having a plan for incidents. Hartzer Consulting can help document a response plan that covers who to contact, which records to preserve, and how to escalate with registrars and registries if a domain is compromised.
