Elevate your organisation's cyber resilience with a comprehensive self-assessment framework for DNS policy within corporate security. Designed for security leaders and infrastructure teams, this programme delivers actionable insights to strengthen your attack surface, enhance forensic readiness, and align DNS practices with enterprise governance standards across hybrid and cloud environments.
- Assess and secure critical infrastructure: Conduct rigorous zone transfer audits to prevent unauthorised DNS data exposure. Evaluate server roles and network segmentation to mitigate cache poisoning and spoofing threats. Identify legacy systems lacking DNSSEC or encrypted DNS support, enabling targeted remediation.
- Establish robust policy governance: Define clear ownership of DNS records across business units to enforce accountability. Implement change control workflows for high-risk record types, including MX and CNAME, ensuring compliance and reducing configuration drift. Align DNS data classification with sensitive business initiatives such as mergers and product launches.
- Enhance visibility and threat detection: Baseline DNS query patterns to detect anomalies linked to data exfiltration or command-and-control activity. Maintain comprehensive logging in line with legal hold and incident response requirements, ensuring forensic readiness.
- Deploy modern encryption strategies: Implement DNS over HTTPS (DoH) and DNS over TLS (DoT) across internal resolvers—balancing privacy with enterprise visibility through strategic decryption proxy integration.
This structured assessment enables organisations to embed DNS security into broader IAM and risk management frameworks, ensuring least-privilege access, contractual accountability with third-party providers, and continuity during incidents. By optimising DNS policy, security teams reduce attack vectors, improve detection capabilities, and support regulatory compliance across global operations.
Take control of your DNS security posture—start your self-assessment today and build a more resilient, responsive, and compliant enterprise.
