External Attack Surface Intelligence
DomainShield IQ
Domain security intelligence — DNS, SSL, DMARC, brand, and attack surface in one command center
1 min readLast reviewed July 18, 2026
The Problem
Why DomainShield IQ exists
Attackers don't start with your front door — they start with your DNS, an expiring certificate, or a lookalike domain nobody's watching. Most organizations only find out after a customer or employee is already fooled, and by then a DNS record has usually already been quietly modified to intercept mail or redirect traffic.
Industry Pain Points
What most teams are stuck with today
- No visibility into typosquat or lookalike domains registered against your brand
- DNS and SSL changes go unnoticed until email breaks or a browser throws a certificate warning
- External attack surface changes (new subdomains, exposed services) go unnoticed until they're exploited
- Regulators (CERT-In, DPDP Act, RBI, SEBI, IRDAI) expect documented, audit-ready domain-security monitoring most teams can't produce on demand
How Threat ResQ Solves It
Inside DomainShield IQ
DomainShield IQ continuously monitors DNS records, SSL/TLS certificate health, DMARC email authentication, brand impersonation, subdomain exposure, and your real external attack surface — all from one dashboard, with no agents or DNS changes to set up — and correlates every finding against live threat intelligence so a new lookalike domain or a quietly modified MX record triggers an alert before it's weaponized.

Use Cases
Where teams put this to work
Pre-launch brand sweep
Sweep for existing lookalike domains before a new product or brand launch.
M&A due diligence
Assess a target company's external attack surface before close, not after.
Continuous perimeter monitoring
Catch new exposed subdomains, expiring certificates, or forgotten assets the moment they appear, not at the next quarterly scan.
BFSI compliance
Pre-mapped RBI, SEBI, and IRDAI reports with DMARC enforcement to help prevent financial fraud carried out via spoofed email.
Government & critical infrastructure
CERT-In aligned monitoring with subdomain discovery for entities facing strict incident-reporting mandates.

DomainShield IQ flags look-alike domains and exposed assets before they're used to target patients or staff, extending protection beyond the perimeter clinical systems sit behind.
DomainShield IQ watches the external footprint surrounding OT/IT-converged environments, catching exposure that a factory-floor-focused security program can miss.
DomainShield IQ monitors for domain and brand impersonation aimed at your customers, closing a gap a purely internal AppSec or SOC 2 program doesn't cover.
DomainShield IQ catches impersonation domains and credential-phishing infrastructure targeting a campus population that turns over every year and is a frequent phishing target.
DomainShield IQ is built around CERT-In-aligned monitoring, extending visibility to external domains and impersonation attempts targeting citizen-facing services.
DomainShield IQ is built for exactly the domain and brand impersonation attacks that target telecom subscribers directly, with DMARC enforcement to help prevent email-based fraud.
DomainShield IQ keeps external exposure monitored across every client-facing domain an IT/ITES firm manages, not just its own corporate footprint.

FAQ
Common questions
What counts as a typosquat domain?
A domain deliberately registered to resemble yours — a swapped character, an added hyphen, a different TLD — designed to fool someone who mistypes or skims your real address. DomainShield IQ scans 300+ variations of your brand to catch these.
Do I need to install anything or change my DNS?
No. DomainShield IQ is fully cloud-based — add your domain names and monitoring begins immediately, with no agents and no DNS changes required.
Is it aligned with Indian regulatory requirements?
Yes — DomainShield IQ is built around CERT-In cybersecurity guidelines and DPDP Act compliance, with one-click reports pre-mapped to CERT-In, DPDP Act, ISO 27001, RBI, SEBI, and IRDAI.
How does this connect to the rest of the platform?
Findings feed TRAP's phishing simulation targeting and TRISA's readiness scoring, so a live impersonation campaign translates directly into the training your people see next.
