Domain Audit

A domain audit is a structured review of an organization's entire domain portfolio to assess registration status, DNS accuracy, [[ssl-certificate-management|SSL certificate]] validity, [[auto-renewal|renewal]] settings, and overall alignment with business needs. Audits typically involve inventorying all registered domains, cross-referencing WHOIS data against internal records, verifying that no critical domain is at risk of expiration, and identifying unused or redundant domains that can be dropped to reduce costs. A thorough audit also checks for [[domain-status-codes|status codes]] that may block transfers, confirms [[domain-lock|domain lock]] is enabled on high-value assets, and reviews [[access-control-domain|access control]] to ensure only authorized personnel can make changes.
