Digital Asset Protection & Continuity

Too many businesses discover their domains, ad accounts, and data are controlled by third parties. When relationships end badly, this becomes an expensive problem. I help you audit ownership, secure access, and establish recovery protocols.

Challenges this solves

This is governance and risk management work. I conduct ownership audits to identify assets held by agencies or former employees, implement secure access models across your digital properties, and establish backup and continuity plans for critical systems. The goal is simple: you should own your digital assets and have the documentation and access to prove it.

Agency HostageYour domain or ad account is registered in your agency's name, not yours.
Key Person RiskOnly one person knows the passwords to critical systems.
No DocumentationYou do not know who has access to what or where credentials are stored.
Departure ChaosWhen employees or vendors leave, important access goes with them.

Questions

Straight answers. If yours is not here, ask it directly.

What counts as a digital asset?

Domains, hosting accounts, Google Ads, Meta Business Manager, analytics properties, CRM systems, email marketing platforms, social media accounts, and any SaaS subscription with business data.

Can you help recover assets from a former agency?

Yes. I have handled asset transfers and can advise on the legal and practical steps to regain control of your digital properties.

Is this just about security?

It is about ownership and continuity. Security is part of it, but the bigger issue is business risk. If someone leaves tomorrow, can your business keep operating?

How long does an ownership audit take?

A typical audit takes 1-2 weeks depending on the complexity of your digital footprint. Recovery and remediation can take longer depending on the situation.
