SiteGov
For agencies and digital service providers

Stop losing days to “who has the login?”

Know who controls every provider behind every client site.

Map the registrar, DNS, hosting, email, and SSL behind each client domain. Document ownership and access for every asset. Know who’s in control before the moment it matters.

No credit card required. Your first scan in under five minutes.

Known on day one. Discovered on go-live day.

Projects don’t stall because of missing code. They stall because of missing ownership.

Before a project goes live, someone needs access to DNS. Before a domain renews, someone needs to own the registrar account. Before a site migrates, someone needs to know which provider controls the hosting, and who the login belongs to. When that information is missing, everything stops. None of it was hidden. It was all discoverable on day one. Nobody looked.

Access blockers at launch

The site is built. The client is ready. The DNS is still managed by an agency that stopped returning emails six months ago. The registrar login went to someone’s personal Gmail. The project is not going live today. This was all visible before the project started.

Hidden ownership risk

A critical provider account belongs to someone who left eighteen months ago. Nobody documented a backup admin. Nobody actually knows if MFA is enabled. Everything is fine. Right up until it isn’t. It was there on day one. Nobody documented it.

Handoff failures

A client switches agencies. The incoming team inherits a tangle of accounts, personal logins, and extremely confident guesses. The outgoing agency is pretty sure the domain is in a GoDaddy account. Probably. What should take a day takes three weeks. The information existed. It just lived in three people’s heads and one personal inbox.

The solution

A clear record of who controls what, across every client site.

Not compliance paperwork. Not a new workflow. A maintained record of who controls every provider behind every client site, built from automated scans and kept current by your team.

Scan a domain and SiteGov maps the registrar, DNS, hosting, email platform, and SSL authority from live data. Then document who manages each asset: who the backup admin is, where credentials are stored, whether MFA is confirmed. One governance record per asset. When a project needs to move, the information is already there.

  • Fewer launch delays. Your team knows who controls DNS before go-live day, not after.
  • Cleaner handoffs. Incoming agencies get who manages it, who the backup is, and where credentials live. Not a scavenger hunt.
  • No more ownership surprises. Former employee still listed as admin? You’ll know before it matters.
  • Faster emergency response. When something breaks, you know exactly who to call.

How it works

Map every provider in four steps.

1

Add your clients

Paste a list of domains or upload a spreadsheet. SiteGov creates a client record for each one immediately.

2

Scan a domain

SiteGov scans DNS, SSL, WHOIS, hosting signals, and email records from live sources. No agents. No integrations. No manual data entry.

3

See every gap

Infrastructure findings surface what is missing, expiring, or mis-assigned. Missing admins, unverified MFA, and unknown credential locations are listed alongside them.

4

Build your governance records

Document ownership, assign admins, confirm access, and record credential locations. One governance record per asset. Maintained as infrastructure changes.

The core artifact

One governance record per asset.

Every provider behind a client site gets its own governance record: who manages it, who can get in if that person is unavailable, where the credentials live, and whether the account is locked down.

Infrastructure scans verify what is actually in place. Governance records document who is responsible. Together, they answer the question every agency eventually needs to answer: can we access this if we have to?

  • Primary and backup admin per asset
  • MFA verification status
  • Credential location (password manager, email, unknown)
  • Recovery documentation status
  • Completeness score and open governance findings

Platform

Built for agencies managing websites they didn’t build.

From kickoff scans to go-live days to annual reviews. Every feature fits a situation agencies already deal with.

Infrastructure Change Alerts

Live monitoring

When a client’s nameservers, registrar, IP addresses, CNAME chain, or domain lock status changes between scans, SiteGov detects it immediately and emails your team. Silent infrastructure changes are caught before they become an incident: a DNS hijack, a registrar transfer, a nameserver swap nobody authorized. This is the scenario that shouldn’t be possible to miss.

What triggers an alert

  • Registrar changed
  • Nameservers replaced
  • IP addresses changed
  • CNAME chain modified
  • Domain lock status changed

Infrastructure Scan

Live scans pull registrar, DNS, hosting, email, and SSL data from the source. No manual entry. No stale spreadsheets. Always current.

Governance Records

Track the primary admin, backup admin, MFA status, credential location, and recovery documentation per asset. The go-to record when access is the question.

Infrastructure Map

A structured control map showing every provider layer behind a domain: domain controls, service infrastructure, and manual systems, in one organized view.

Findings and Risk Signals

Infrastructure and governance findings ranked by severity. Former employee as admin, no backup documented, SSL expiring. Surfaced before they become emergencies.

DACS Score

The Digital Asset Control Score (0–100) measures infrastructure and access health per domain. One number that reflects how controlled each client’s web presence actually is.

Client Portfolio Dashboard

Every client, every domain, and every missing record in one view. Sorted by risk. Always current. The first page open during a client call or a project kickoff.

Renewal Tracking

Domain and SSL expiry tracked across your entire portfolio. Know what is renewing, when it expires, and, critically, who is responsible for the renewal.

Risk Timeline

A chronological record of when risks appeared and when they were resolved. Useful for incident reviews, client reporting, and access audits.

Provider Library

SiteGov recognizes hundreds of infrastructure providers. Unknown providers are flagged for review so you always know when something new appears in a client’s stack.

A key distinction

Owning it, accessing it, and controlling it are three different things.

Most website problems aren’t technical. They’re definitional. Someone assumed ownership meant access. Someone assumed access meant control. Nobody asked which one they actually had.

Ownership

Who holds legal or organizational claim over an asset. The domain registrant, the account holder, the name on the contract.

Ownership doesn’t guarantee you can log in.

Access

Who has working credentials. A username, a password, a shared inbox, an API key. The ability to authenticate with a provider right now.

Access doesn’t mean the account is yours, or that you’ll still have it after someone leaves.

Control

Who can actually make a change when it matters. Right now, under pressure, before a launch stalls or a domain lapses. Access plus authority plus knowing what you’re touching.

Control is the point.

SiteGov documents ownership, access, and control for every provider behind a client site. One governance record per asset, kept current as infrastructure changes.

Map your first domain

For agencies

The infrastructure layer your retainers have been missing.

The providers behind each client site are messy by default. Domains registered by founders, DNS managed by previous agencies, hosting billed to personal accounts, SSL certs nobody is tracking. SiteGov gives your team a structured record of who controls what across every client, before you need it.

  • New client onboarding. Scan a domain on day one and get a complete infrastructure map from live data.
  • Redesign and migration discovery. Know who controls DNS, hosting, and the registrar before the project starts.
  • Website care plans. Infrastructure tracking as a recurring, visible deliverable for clients.
  • Agency-to-agency handoffs. Clean transfer, complete documented record.
  • Team offboarding. Infrastructure knowledge stays in the account, not in someone’s head.

Clients rarely ask for this until the domain expires, the launch stalls, or the handoff goes wrong. Agencies that track this proactively are the ones clients call first and leave last.

Agency Use Case

Provider Access Review

Package a SiteGov-powered review as a structured deliverable: a full picture of who controls each client’s domain, DNS, hosting, email, and SSL, with every gap documented and a clear ownership picture.

Include in maintenance plans and service proposals. Repeat annually to stay current. Give clients a verifiable record of who controls what, and what has been confirmed.

Data Ownership

Your clients keep their records. Always.

SiteGov governance records belong to the domain owner, not the agency that built them. If a client relationship ends, the records go with the client.

Think of it like medical records. A doctor can maintain them, but they belong to the patient. Your client’s access history is theirs to keep.

Common questions

What agencies usually ask.

We already have a spreadsheet for this.

A spreadsheet holds what someone typed. SiteGov holds what’s actually running. It finds the DNS provider your spreadsheet doesn’t list, the SSL cert expiring in 11 days, and the nameserver that changed last Tuesday. The spreadsheet is a good intention. SiteGov is a live record.

Our clients manage their own infrastructure. This isn’t our problem.

Most agencies say that until a migration stalls because the client can’t find the registrar login, or a domain renewal lapses because it was registered under an email address nobody checks. SiteGov maps who controls what before you need it, not after you’re already on a call trying to recover it.

We’d have to enter all of this manually.

The scan is automatic. SiteGov probes the domain and populates registrar, DNS provider, nameservers, hosting, SSL, and email infrastructure without manual entry. What you add is who controls each one: who has the login, MFA status, credential location. That part takes minutes per domain, once, and stays current.

What does SiteGov actually track?

On the infrastructure side: registrar, domain expiry, DNSSEC status, DNS provider, nameservers, MX records, email authentication (SPF, DMARC), hosting provider, SSL certificate authority, and expiry. For each asset, your team documents who’s the primary admin, who’s the backup, MFA status, credential location, and whether access recovery is in place. Scans run automatically. Governance records are maintained by your team.

Is this a security tool?

Not primarily. Security tools look for vulnerabilities: open ports, malware, injection risks. SiteGov looks for access gaps: expired certs, missing backup admins, undocumented credentials, former employees still listed as primary contacts. A site can pass a security scan and still be inaccessible the moment the one person who knows the registrar login leaves the company.

Does this replace password managers?

No. A password manager stores credentials. SiteGov documents that credentials exist, who holds them, where they’re stored, and whether access recovery is documented. It answers “do we have access?” without holding the passwords themselves. The two tools are complementary: use a password manager to store credentials, use SiteGov to confirm the right people have access and every account has a named owner.

What happens to our client’s data if the relationship ends?

The governance record belongs to the domain owner, not the agency that built it. If the relationship ends, the record transfers to the client. It’s not lost, and it’s not locked in. Think of it like medical records: the provider maintains them, but they belong to the patient. Your client’s infrastructure history is theirs to keep.
