We watch for the quiet changes that renewal reminders don't catch — look-alike domains, DNS tampering, expiring certificates, and unauthorized ownership changes.
A DNS record gets changed. A certificate quietly expires. Someone registers a domain one letter off from yours and starts sending emails that look like they're from you. None of this trips an alarm — it just sits there until a customer, or worse, your bank, notices before you do.
Across Africa, more business runs through domains and email every year — and so does more fraud. IDS Africa gives you a quiet layer of watchfulness over the risks that registration and renewal were never built to catch.
We check for domains registered to impersonate yours — typos, swapped characters, and alternate endings — so phishing attempts get flagged before they reach your customers.
Any change to your A, MX, NS, or TXT records triggers an immediate alert. If your domain is ever redirected or hijacked, you'll know within minutes, not weeks.
We track ownership and registrar records so an unauthorized transfer can't happen without you knowing.
Advance warning before your certificate expires, and an alert if it's ever swapped without your knowledge.
We check your domain against major spam and security blacklists, so a flag doesn't sit unnoticed and quietly damage your email deliverability or reputation.
We monitor your SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configuration — the settings that determine whether someone else can send email that looks like it's from your domain.
A full pass of your domain across all six checks, establishing your baseline.
Current status at a glance, plus instant alerts if anything urgent comes up in between.
In plain language, with clear next steps — not just raw data to decode yourself.
Whether you're protecting a single business domain or managing brand assets across several African markets, IDS Africa scales to match — no complex setup, no extra accounts to manage.
