Preparing for an authorized assessment

March 18, 2026 · Warden Team

What to gather before checkout so delivery stays fast and the report matches the footprint you care about.

Warden only assesses domains you own or are explicitly authorized to test. A little preparation keeps attestation smooth and the report focused on the right estate.

Before you place an order

  • Confirm the primary domain (and any sibling brands) you want covered
  • Know who can attest ownership or attach written authorization
  • List known staging or marketing hosts you already plan to retire
  • Decide who receives the report internally — security, platform, or leadership

What you do not need

The engagement remains within the external scope your organization authorizes. That boundary keeps the purpose clear and gives leadership a focused view of public exposure.

After payment confirms

Track status in your account. Delivery depends on the approved scope and current availability. When the report arrives, start with the executive summary and the top priorities, then schedule remediation like any other engineering backlog.

If something about authorization or scope is unclear, ask support before paying. Declining unauthorized targets protects both sides.
