Compliance & Audit Support

The problem

Boards and auditors increasingly ask how you monitor and respond to domain and DNS abuse. Without documented policies, metrics, and evidence, it is hard to show that domain protection is a real, operating control.

• Audit requests for evidence of domain abuse monitoring
• Board or regulator questions about phishing and impersonation risk
• Need to map domain controls to frameworks (e.g. NIST, ISO)
• Incident response and legal matters requiring a clear narrative

How it works

1. 1

   Program documentation

   We help you document how domain protection is scoped, how monitoring and escalation work, and how often you review and act. This becomes the narrative for audits and boards.

2. 2

   Ongoing evidence and metrics

   The platform generates trails of alerts, validations, and takedowns. You can report on volume, response times, and outcomes so auditors see an active program.

3. 3

   Board and auditor materials

   We provide summary briefs and white-label materials that explain domain risk and your controls. You can customize for your board or audit committee.

4. 4

   Mapping to frameworks

   Where relevant, we help map your domain controls to common frameworks so you can answer control and compliance questions in a consistent way.

Frequently asked questions

• What frameworks can you map to?

  We can align with common security and risk frameworks (e.g. NIST, ISO 27001) where they reference external threat monitoring and response. Exact mapping depends on your audit and compliance requirements; we can discuss during onboarding.

• Are reports white-label?

  Yes. Reports and briefs can be white-labeled with your branding so you can present them as internal or client-facing materials.

• How far back can audit trails go?

  Retention depends on your plan and settings. We can configure retention to meet your compliance needs. Contact us to discuss retention and export.

• Do you provide a formal SOC 2 or similar report?

  DomainHQ has its own security and compliance posture. We provide evidence and documentation of your use of our platform; we do not issue SOC 2 or other third-party reports on your organization. Your auditor can use our materials as input to their assessment.

• Can we use this for cyber insurance?

  Many insurers ask about domain and phishing controls. Our documentation and metrics can support your application or renewal by showing a documented domain protection program and response capability.
