  • How can we protect our business from Digital Infringements?

    It is important that you have a centralized management of your domain names with correct ownership information and secured renewals. You don’t want to risk losing one of your business-critical domain names online. You also want to make sure you have the right holding in the different markets where you are active. Both, because the local endings can generate more traffic. But also, to protect against your digital brand being used by another party who might otherwise take advantage of your brand. The two most important options are to either own your name in the right markets, or at least monitor your name and similar wordings.

    The right certificate and email security are also essential. See our services and what we can help you with below. Contact us for advice on what you need to consider.

Security
Certificate Management

Nowadays, SSL/TLS certificates are a must-have for any serious website. It prevents ransomware and ensures that the HTTPs-status of your website classifies it as secure when indexed by search engines.Dotkeeper’s service Certificate Management ensures that your website’s SSL/TLS certificate always is up to date and provides your visitors with a secure experience of your brand. With the wrong or outdated SSL certificate, several browsers will warn your visitors that your website is not secure.In connection with the renewal of your digital certificates, we recommend that you also renew your Private Key. This should be done at least once a year. What is an SSL/TLS certificate and how does it work? An SSL/TLS certificate can be compared to a digital ID that attests that the domain belongs to your company. The SSL/TLS certificate secures the connection between your website and your visitors by that the connection gets a unique key that encrypts and protects your traffic. Information your visitors leave behind on the website can thereby not be wire-tapped or manipulated by a third party. SSL/TLS certificates marks your website as secure, which increases its credibility and ensures that your visitors can feel secure. The SSL/TLS Secure Site Seal looks different depending on what certificate is used, but what all certificates have in common is that the connection goes from http to https. Search engines provide ranking advantages to sites with SSL/TLS certificates, which means that your website can be more visible among the search results. Already 2014, Google officially announced that they would start giving websites with https a “ranking boost”. What does the Certificate Management service entail? Dotkeeper’s experts identify which existing SSL/TLS certificates are connected to your websites and help you choose the right ones depending on the specific functions of your websites. We collaborate with serious certificate issuers, ensure all renewals, and make administration easier for you. We are also available for tech support.

Brand monitoring

Why Brand monitoring? Domain names are often used as a means of digital fraud and trademark infringement. It can affect companies of all sizes and in all branches as well as cause major financial damage. Almost all websites with high or medium high traffic are in the risk zone of another party registering similar versions of the website’s name in an attempt to steal online traffic. The purpose is often money-driven – to generate money through ads, selling competing products/pirate copies, or by baiting with gambling/casino services, cheap bank loans, or pornography. It could also be ideologically or emotionally driven, with the purpose to discredit or express discontent regarding a company or a product. Also, companies that are not directly connected to high traffic websites can be victims of infringement. It could be outright fraud (such as email fraud), sales of pirate copies, or reputation hijacking, in which strong brands are used for fraudulent purposes. It could also be vendors on other geographical markets who have created arbitrary marketing that deviate from the marketing strategies of your company. With the roughly 1600 top-level domains we have today, it is seldom financially justifiable to register each and every possible version of a domain name. There are simply too many registrations with all types of extensions and misspellings. Therefore, Domain Monitoring is a good complement to having a smart portfolio management

BIMI & VMC

Marketers and companies around the globe have been eagerly awaiting the BIMI-standard to advance from Gmail pilot testing to General availability, and in July 2021 it finally happened. This creates great opportunities for trademark owners to further strengthen their brand and reach a better return on their email marketing.With the help of BIMI, your logo can now be seen in the receiver’s inbox. Using mobile devices, the receiver will not even have to open the email to see your logo! Currently, BIMI is compatible with Gmail, Yahoo, and Fast mail, to name a few email clients. Microsoft is currently not using BIMI.In order to use the BIMI standard with most email clients, you need a VMC (Verified Mark Certificate). A VMC validates the right of an organization to use the trademark and the domain. This ensures the receiver that the email is legitimate. The criteria for using a VMC is that you as a company have implemented the security standard DMARC and that you have registered a figurative trademark.At Dotkeeper, we offer VMC through our partner DigiCert, and we can help you with the implementation, purchase, and administration. We also offer services for DMARC and trademark registration, which means we can help you throughout the entire process of getting your logos to display in inboxes around the world.

DMARC

Allow us to present DMARC – a method for protecting your company against falsified and potentially damaging email. Reports show that spoofing, which is fake email senders or the use of cyber- or typo-squatted domains, is a widely used approach.Apart from establishing (and following) a domain strategy and continuously monitor how your trademark is used, among other places in domain registrations, there is the option of implementing DMARC.DMARC, or Domain-Based Message Authentication Reporting and Conformance, is an email authentication policy and a reporting protocol. DMARC protects against unauthorized use of domains by preventing direct imitation of the domain in emails. It protects the trademark by ensuring that inboxes only receive email that is sent by or on behalf of a domain, by using SPF and DKIM posts. At Dotkeeper, we offer services and solutions to help our clients implement DMARC, and by that increase their email security. Establishing DMARC requires time, data, and continuous adaption (usually over a period of time) to work correctly. We are with you the entire way, from start to finish.The process is split into three phases. The work commences with a pilot study of your email flow to create a custom plan of action based on your needs. After that, the implementation takes place gradually. Finally, there is ongoing reporting in accordance with the agreed-on frequency. The result is increased security for your company, and DMARC is also reported to increase deliverability of your sent email. In other words: exciting news for all marketing departments. Together with our domain monitoring service and smart domain management, a correctly implemented DMARC provides good protection against email fraud for your company.
