Technology & Security
Software, IT services and information security firms.
The shape of it here
Technology firms get audited by their prospects. Before a serious client signs, someone technical looks up your domain, checks your mail authentication and forms a view. For a security firm this happens every single time, before the first meeting.
The uncomfortable pattern: the businesses best equipped to fix their own records are frequently the ones who haven't, because internal work never reaches the top of the queue.
What we usually find
- No DNSSEC, no CAA records, registrar lock off; DMARC absent or stuck at p=none for years
- The domain registered to a founder personally rather than the company — which surfaces during due diligence at the worst moment
- The firm's own website down, returning a server error to every prospect who checks
- Excellent product documentation and no coherent brand; a site that is technically impressive and says nothing a buyer understands
What we do about it
- Full hardening: DNSSEC, CAA, registrar lock, DMARC to p=reject, MTA-STS
- Domain and asset ownership moved to the company entity, documented for due diligence
- Identity and positioning that translates capability into something a non-technical buyer can evaluate
- The Asset Register itself as a due-diligence artefact — when an investor asks who controls what, there's a current document
Pillars that matter most: Ⅲ Digital Assets → Ⅰ Branding → Ⅳ Digital Marketing
