The same rigor, a different threat model.
Where TeleoTitle's work was wire-fraud framed, Abode Labs's was brand-protection and impersonation framed. Same underlying discipline — SPF, DKIM, DMARC — delivered in the same runbook shape. The value of doing two at once was in productizing the deliverable: the second one took a fraction of the effort and produced a cleaner artifact.
- DNS assessment and gap inventory
- SPF / DKIM publication
- DMARC phased enforcement
- Monitoring hooks for drift detection
- Human-readable remediation runbook
This case and TeleoTitle together are the proof material for the audit and DNS‑hardening work delivered through Next‑Gen IT. See how both clients fit into the broader growth flywheel and partner model in the Partnership Strategy.
Productizing the audit
Abode Labs’ DNS and email‑authentication runbook was designed to be repeatable. By running the Next‑Gen‑IT Audit Portal on abodelabs.ai we identified misalignments in SPF, DKIM, and DMARC; the same portal can surface hidden debt in any small business. The strategy is to use the scan results to drive a well‑documented remediation and continuity plan.
