DomainGuard account
What a free DomainGuard account does
Save scans across visits, monitor domains over time, get alerts when DNS, SSL, or email configuration changes, and view compliance evidence for PCI, HIPAA, and cyber-insurance renewals.
Scanning is free with an account. The password checker and phishing quiz still run without one.
What an account does
The free tools on this site - free IT checkup, domain checkup, password checker, phishing quiz, DMARC reporting service - are free with an account and show you a one-time result.
A dashboard account takes the same checks and runs them across every domain you track, on a schedule. Alerts land in the dashboard and on the DomainGuard iPhone app when DNS records change, certificates near expiry, or email authentication posture regresses. You can pull the saved evidence pack for PCI, HIPAA, and cyber-insurance renewals from one place.
The full panel list is on the dashboard tour.
What we collect and how we use it
The account form asks for three things: your name, email address, and a password. The name is shown in your dashboard and on the mail we send you. The email address is your login identifier and where account mail goes: verification, password resets, support replies, and reports you ask for. Alerts are not emailed; they arrive in the Alerts feed in the dashboard and as a push in the DomainGuard iPhone app. We do not ask for a phone number at sign-up and do not send text messages. The password is the credential you use to sign in.
We use the contact information to operate your account and the dashboard features you turn on. We do not sell or share it with third parties for marketing purposes. The full data-handling details live in the privacy policy.
Closing your account: you can delete it yourself at any time from nhmohio.com/account/delete or from the Account tab in the DomainGuard app. The deletion runs immediately once you confirm.
Is this free
Yes. Creating the account is free and the free tier allows daily manual scans. No credit card is required to sign up. Paid plans add automated scans on a schedule, weekly reports, monitoring of additional domains, and access to premium dashboard panels. The tier breakdown lives on the plans page.
You can use the free tier for as long as you want. Paid plans are App Store subscriptions, so if one ever stops working for you, cancel it in your Apple ID subscription settings and the account goes back to the free tier when the paid period ends.
How your password and data are protected
Passwords are salted and hashed server-side; the password you choose is never stored in a form we can read. The session cookie is HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite=Strict, so the browser does not expose it to scripts and does not send it when you click a link from another site.
Failed logins are rate-limited: after six wrong attempts against the same account or from the same IP within a 30-minute window, further attempts return a lockout error. Two-factor authentication is supported and can be enabled from the Account panel after you sign in.
The dashboard runs on the same Cloudflare Workers and D1 layer as the rest of nhmohio.com. The same security model that protects the marketing site protects the dashboard.
What happens after you sign up
After the form submits successfully, you are signed in automatically and land on the dashboard. From there, the natural next step is to add the first domain you want to track. The dashboard runs the first scan within a minute or two; you will see results on the Overview tab and can drill into any specific panel from the sidebar.
If you already have an account, sign in on the login page instead.
