Domain Protection for Education & EdTech
Phishing and impersonation domains target your login, admissions, and faculty. We find them and help you take them down so you can protect students, staff, and your institution.
The problem
Education and EdTech are targeted by domains that mimic login, admissions, financial aid, and faculty. Credential theft and fraud harm students and staff. Resource-constrained IT and security teams need focused, actionable domain protection.
- Phishing domains mimicking your login, portal, or email
- Fake admissions and financial aid domains
- Impersonation domains posing as your institution or faculty
- Typosquatting and lookalike domains targeting students and staff
- Abusive domains used for research or credential theft campaigns
What we do
- Detect and escalate phishing and impersonation domains that target your institution and users
- Monitor for fake admissions, aid, and enrollment-related domains so you can request takedowns
- Help you identify lookalike and typosquatting domains that could harm students and staff
- Provide evidence and reporting for domain abuse for security and compliance discussions
- Deliver domain-level monitoring and response; we do not manage your systems or data, only abusive domains
How it works
- 1
Define your institution and key services
You provide your main domains, portal names, and key terms (e.g. admissions, financial aid). We set up monitoring.
- 2
Discover and validate
We find abusive domains and validate alerts. You get a prioritized list with evidence.
- 3
Evidence and takedown
We build evidence packages. You submit to registrars and hosts and track status.
- 4
Report and communicate
Use our reports to brief leadership and to support security and compliance discussions with regulators or insurers.
Example: anonymized case snapshot
Frequently asked questions
We have limited security staff. Is this manageable?
Yes. We validate alerts and prioritize so you focus on real threats. Evidence packages and workflows reduce the time to submit takedowns. Many education clients run domain protection with a small team.
Can we monitor multiple campuses or schools?
Yes. We support multiple entities and brands. You can filter the dashboard by campus or school if needed.
Do you handle student data or FERPA?
We do not process student data. We monitor domain names and abuse; we do not access your systems or student records. Our processing can be aligned with your data and compliance requirements.
What about research or grant-related impersonation?
We can monitor for domains that impersonate your institution, research groups, or grant-related programs. We alert and provide evidence so you can escalate.
Can we show this to our board or accreditor?
Yes. We provide documentation and metrics that many institutions use to demonstrate domain protection to boards, insurers, and accreditors.
