PhishDom is a free simple tool – still in beta –  to help charities and small businesses with the risks that come with having a domain name (and using it for a website and email).

It was created to help these organisations stay safe online, with simple values to which the platform must adhere:

• It should be free for charities and small businesses (9 staff or less)
• It needs Bob’s mum’s seal of approval
• It should be as easy to use as possible

While the platform has been introduced to be as cost-effective to run as possible, we’d love to speak to any organisations interested in sponsorship to help with the running costs (get in touch).

To setup monitoring and alerting for your domain, all you need is a free account and to complete one mandatory form field: your domain name.

Typically within 60 seconds, PhishDom has generated anywhere from 15,000 to 200,000 variants of your domain name, discovered all of your critical DNS records and taken note of your SSL certificate and website.

You can immediately add users, perform phishing simulations and monitor the responses.  Users that are successfully ‘phished’ are given a training video to watch and asked to complete an assessment.

Within the first hour of setup, your domain variants have been probed, assessed and reported on – scoring any potential copycat domain names.

After that, PhishDom continually monitors your domain name, website, DNS and potential copycats and alerts you when needed.
