Domain Verification on WegoPro: An Added Layer of Security for Your Business

In the modern online world, it is more crucial than ever to keep your company and employees safe from impersonation, fraud, and data breaches.  To address this, WegoPro has introduced Domain Verification, a standard security measure that helps safeguard your business.

A Simple Overview of Domain Verification

When your company uses WegoPro, you want to be sure that only your authorised employees can create accounts, join your workspace, and receive invitations. That’s where Domain Verification comes in.

Domain Verification is a process that confirms your organisation owns a specific email domain (like @yourcompany.com). By verifying your domain, you ensure that:

• Only authorised users with your company’s email address can join WegoPro.
• Unverified or impersonated domains cannot send invites or gain access to your account.

Why Domain Verification is Essential: A Real-World Example

Imagine XYZ Company, which uses the email domain @xyzcompany.com for all its employees.

Without domain verification, here’s what could happen:

1. A fraudster signs up on WegoPro and creates a fake company called “XYZ Company Pvt Ltd.”
2. The fraudster then adds the real domain xyzcompany.com to this fake company profile.
3. If there were no domain verification in place, WegoPro would assume they own the domain.
4. The fraudster sends invitations to actual XYZ Company employees, tricking them into joining the fake account.
5. Employees may then unknowingly share sensitive information such as corporate payment details or personal data, which the fraudster could misuse.

How Domain Verification Prevents This
With Domain Verification, the fraudster must prove they own xyzcompany.com by adding a unique TXT record to its DNS settings. Since only the legitimate IT team at XYZ Company has DNS access, the fraudster cannot complete verification, stopping the scam before it starts.

This ensures only authorised company admins can add and verify domains, protecting organisations from impersonation and safeguarding sensitive data.

Secure. Simple. Verified. 

With Domain Verification, your company gains better control over who joins your WegoPro workspace. It helps eliminate risk, improve trust, and protect your travel program from evolving security threats.
