The sixteen checks, explained

Domain security
information.

Understanding the sixteen critical security settings we verify on every domain — from DNS authentication and encryption to email integrity and infrastructure protection.

Why sixteen

More checks,
fewer blind spots.

Most hosting providers check the basics — maybe SSL and a few email settings. At PrismWeb, we perform sixteen comprehensive security checks that ensure your domain is truly secure, compliant, and legally protected. We’re the only provider that performs this level of detailed security analysis.

Our approach covers every layer of your domain’s security: DNS authentication, transport encryption, certificate integrity, email authentication, infrastructure reputation, application detection, and network-level protections. This thoroughness is what sets us apart and ensures your business meets compliance requirements and exceeds insurance standards.

When you host with PrismWeb, all sixteen checks are continuously monitored and maintained. We don’t just set it and forget it — we actively manage your security so you can focus on your business.
