Review Process
Our team reviews the submitted URL to determine whether it is impersonating your brand, abusing your trademarks, or targeting your customers.
Contact
We reach out to discuss what we found, explain the potential risk, and outline what would be required to remove the threat.
Threat Analysis
We look beyond the single URL to identify related domains, pages, sellers, ads, social profiles, or other connected assets that may be part of a larger scam network.
Managed Service
When action is needed, BrandShield’s enforcement experts can manage the takedown process across registrars, hosting providers, platforms, and other relevant authorities.
How BrandShield protects your brand
Detect
BrandShield continuously scans websites, domains, marketplaces, social media, paid ads, app stores, and AI platforms to detect fake sites, phishing pages, impersonation, and brand abuse before they spread.
Enforce
Our enforcement experts validate threats, collect evidence, submit takedown requests, and escalate cases through registrars, hosting providers, platforms, and other enforcement channels.
Monitor
After a threat is removed, BrandShield continues monitoring for related activity, repeat abuse, and new domains or assets created by the same bad actors.
