Protect deal value by exposing hidden DNS risks before they become costly surprises.
Every acquisition brings not only valuable domains but also the DNS networks that run them—and their hidden security risks. Most sellers don’t even know what exposures exist. Deal teams need fast, reliable ways to audit, integrate, and manage these assets to safeguard ROI.
The Challenges in DNS Due Diligence
Acquiring domains and DNS networks is costly and risky. M&A due diligence teams lack the tools they need to inspect and integrate these assets.
Pre-Deal Blind Spots
Without the right tools, auditing DNS assets pre-deal is slow, costly, and often incomplete—leaving risks undiscovered.
Post-Deal Integration
Absorbing third-party domains, registrars, and DNS networks into your environment is complex, expensive, and prone to security gaps.
Cumulative Complexity
After multiple deals, organizations often juggle several registrars and DNS providers, creating fragmented, high-cost operations.
