Use Case
Continuous Domain Security Monitoring
One-off scans miss changes between assessments. Domain security monitoring tracks your posture over time and alerts you when DNS changes, certificate renewals, or policy downgrades introduce new risks.

Common Questions
- Why is one-off scanning not enough?
- Domain security posture changes continuously. Teams add cloud services and forget DNS records. Certificates expire or are renewed with different settings. Mail providers change DMARC policies. A point-in-time scan gives you a snapshot; monitoring gives you continuous visibility and catches changes before they become incidents.
- Does VP Shield offer ongoing monitoring?
- The free VP Shield tool provides on-demand scans. VantagePoint Networks provides a managed domain security monitoring service with scheduled scans, alert notifications, and regular reporting. Contact us for pricing.
- What events should trigger an immediate re-scan?
- Scan immediately after: changing mail providers, migrating hosting, adding or removing subdomains, renewing or replacing SSL certificates, or any change to DNS records. These are the events most likely to introduce new misconfigurations.
