Domain Security Monitoring

A current renewal date is no guarantee your domain is safe

We keep watch for the silent changes an expiry reminder will never flag — copycat domains, tampered DNS, lapsing certificates, and ownership moved out from under you.

The problem

By the time a domain issue looks serious, it usually already is

A record is edited. A certificate lapses without a word. Someone registers an address a single character away from yours and begins sending mail in your name. Nothing sounds an alarm — it simply waits, until a customer or your bank spots it before you ever do.

Year on year, more of Africa's business moves through domains and email — and the fraud follows it. IPDS Africa adds a steady layer of oversight across the exposures that registration and renewal were never designed to see.

What we monitor

Six watchpoints, one steady shield

Copycat domain watch

We scan for newly registered domains built to pass as yours — misspellings, switched letters, and different endings — so an impersonation attempt is caught before it ever lands in a customer's inbox.

DNS change alerts

Edit any A, MX, NS, or TXT record and an alert goes out at once. Should your domain ever be rerouted or seized, you'll hear about it in minutes rather than weeks.

WHOIS & registrar watch

We keep an eye on ownership and registrar records, so no transfer can slip through without your knowledge.

SSL certificate tracking

Early notice before a certificate lapses, and an immediate flag if one is ever replaced without your say-so.

Blacklist monitoring

We measure your domain against the major spam and security blacklists, so a listing never sits unseen and quietly eats away at your deliverability or reputation.

Email authentication checks

We watch your SPF, DKIM, and DMARC setup — the records that decide whether anyone else can send mail dressed up to look like it came from your domain.

How it works

Set up once. Watched around the clock.

1

We run a first scan

A complete sweep of your domain across all six watchpoints, setting the baseline we measure against.

2

A report lands each month

Where everything stands at a glance, with real-time alerts in between whenever something can't wait.

3

We point out what matters

Spelled out in plain words with clear next steps — never a wall of raw data for you to decode.

A single domain, or a whole portfolio?

Guarding one business domain or overseeing brand assets across several African markets, IPDS Africa scales to fit — nothing complicated to set up, no extra accounts to keep track of.
