Secure Domain / SSL Certificate Expiry
A site with an expired SSL Certificate will be inaccessible for visitors and it'll be prone to many vulnerabilities. Therefore, it is important to stay updated on the expiry dates of your certificates and to get them updated before the date of expiry. Using this check, Digital Risk Analyzer will track the expiry date of your certificates and will ensure their validity.
Blocklisted Domain
A blocklist will contain the list of IPs, domains, or email addresses that were reported for spam or any other malicious activity. A blocklisted domain will face a huge drop in the number of visitors and will be marked unsafe leading to a tarnished brand reputation. Using this check, Digital Risk Analyzer will cross-verify your domain against the popular blocklists to ensure that your domain isn't flagged as a blocklisted one.
Blocklisted IP
An IP address can end up in the blocklist for spamming or for sending numerous messages. All the emails you send from a blocklisted IP will end up in spam or bounce in turn affecting the credibility of your brand. Prevention of DDoS attacks is one of the main intentions of blocklisting IPs. Digital Risk Analyzer will check your IP address against the popular blocklists databases to verify whether your IP is listed there or not.
Domain Expiry
To maintain domain ownership, it is essential to renew the domain name before it expires. Once a domain expires, the domain will be deactivated and parked. Once it is deactivated, you will not be allowed to make any changes, neither will the customers be able to access it, leading to negative impacts on your business and brand. Using this check, Digital Risk Analyzer will track your domain expiry date and the number of days left for expiry.
