DNS Optimisation Services
Your DNS is the phone book of your digital estate. We tune it for speed and resilience without sacrificing safety. That starts with a clean architecture: Anycast infrastructure for global reach, redundancy across best-in-class providers where appropriate, and records designed for optimal clarity rather than needless complexity.
How We Work
We begin with a hands-on audit: propagation latency, failure domains, misconfigurations, and query patterns. From there we produce a change plan that sequences risk: quick wins first, then structural improvements, always with validation and rollback paths.
Post implementation, we instrument health checks and alerts so you see performance gains and stay ahead of regressions.
WHOIS Registration and Management
Ownership data underpins your control of a domain. We make sure the right entity is on record, the right roles are assigned, and renewals are never in doubt. With GDPR era privacy and the move from classic WHOIS to RDAP, precision matters more than ever.
- Portfolio onboarding and consolidation: Normalising registrar accounts, harmonising naming conventions, and centralising visibility across brands and market regions.
- Registrant hygiene: Correct legal entity as registrant, role-appropriate administrative and technical contacts, and evidence files to support potential future transfers.
- Privacy and disclosure: Using proxy/privacy services where appropriate, while maintaining auditable ownership proof and lawful disclosure workflows.
- Lifecycle governance: Auto-renew strategies per TLD, registrar lock policies, expiry protection windows, and renewal calendars aligned to budgeting cycles.
- Change management: Documented processes for updates (nameservers, contacts, hosts) with approvals, dual control and immutable audit trails.
- RDAP proficiency: Query and update routines that reflect modern registry interfaces, so data remains consistent across registrars and registries.
Practical Detail that Avoids Headaches
We manage EPP status codes to your advantage (e.g., clientTransferProhibited when you need stability; controlled lifting when you transfer), maintain auth code escrow, and keep documentary evidence—board resolutions, chain of title, assignment agreements—ready for events such as M&A or disputes. Every record ties back to a single source of truth so there are no surprises when you need to act quickly.
Domain Security Services: Core Controls
Domains are high-value targets for account takeover, DNS poisoning and brand impersonation. We implement layered controls that prevent, detect and respond—without slowing your teams down.
Role-based access, least-privilege permissions, SSO where supported, and mandatory MFA on all registrar and DNS accounts.
Signed zones with automated key rollover, HSM or secure key custody, and monitoring for DS record drift.
Dual approval for sensitive updates, four eyes on nameserver and DS changes, and maintenance windows with live rollback plans.
CAA records to limit who can issue, CT log monitoring for rogue issuance, and expiry dashboards to prevent outages.
DMARC enforcement, BIMI readiness where brand appropriate, homograph and typosquat monitoring, and takedown pathways with clear SLAs.
Monitoring and Response
We maintain continuous monitoring for configuration drift, hijack signals, unexpected nameserver changes and anomalous DNS traffic. Where an incident involves third parties (registrars, registries, hosting), we coordinate across stakeholders to restore a known good state and harden against recurrence.
Risk Management In Context
We classify domains by criticality—brand flagship, transactional, campaign—and tailor safeguards accordingly. Crown jewels receive registry lock, strict change windows and heightened monitoring; lower risk assets get proportionate protection that still meets policy without incurring excessive overhead.
