Auditing and validating

To establish a baseline domain name portfolio, Iron Mountain conducts a complimentary global audit that identifies current, top-level domain (TLD) registry information for known and suspected domain name records. We validate known WHOIS records by determining current expiration dates, registration contact, and domain name system (DNS) information. Global TLD searches identify domain names you may not have realised were in your portfolio as well as those that are controlled by others.

Assessing risk and defining best practices

A complimentary analysis of your portfolio identifies any current high-risk policies and procedures. We work with you to implement appropriate changes and capture, store, and automate relevant details, defining a new domain name records policy for your company. We also establish policies to ensure secure, restricted access to your accounts, allowing you to properly implement domain name records policies across divisions, subsidiaries and affiliates.

Modifying, transferring and consolidating records

Your Iron Mountain team develops a final work plan for your approval, then modifies and updates every generic top-level domain (gTLD) and country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) name record to comply with best practices and changing TLD requirements - including national and international transfers.

We update ownership and centralise your domain name records in the Domain Name Centre, giving you control of and access to all of your records in a single secure, online location. You can have confidence in our fast, safe transfer process, which easily manages all variations common to domain name transfers locks domain names to prevent unauthorised transfer or modification where permissible.
