What GuardHound protects
Four outcomes your customers can feel
GuardHound watches five technical pillars under the hood: availability, certificates, domain intelligence, digital exposure, and risk scoring. The eight health-score dimensions summarize those checks, so you get clear action instead of a wall of security jargon.
Keep the website available
Website and service checks catch outages, slow responses, and certificate failures. Get alerts when the customer path is at risk, with faster checks available as you grow.
Keep business email trusted
SPF, DMARC, DKIM, breach exposure, and sender reputation checks help keep your messages out of spam and make impersonation harder.
Keep the domain under control
Track DNS, registrar, nameserver, SSL, and Certificate Transparency changes that can signal a hijack, forgotten service, or unauthorized certificate.
Catch exposure early
Find lookalike domains, known vulnerabilities, unsafe-browsing flags, and breach exposure before they become a customer-facing incident.
Five pillars under the hood
Website availability, certificates, domain intelligence, digital exposure, and risk scoring feed the eight dimensions of your 0–100 health score. The score shows what changed; findings show what to fix.
Actionable fixes, not just alerts
Every finding explains why it matters and what to do next. Keep the signal in one place instead of stitching together separate uptime, DNS, and breach tools.
Built to grow with your business
Start with one domain and a free daily checkup. Add alerts, service monitors, richer domain intelligence, reports, and team access as your business depends on more online services.
Provider path stays available
Agencies, MSPs, and consultants can still use client workspaces, white-label reports, portfolio views, and takedown workflows through the separate Agency path.
One score, eight dimensions
Uptime, certificates, DNS, email authentication, breach exposure, vulnerabilities, brand risk, and hosting reputation are weighted into one daily 0–100 score with top contributors.
