FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Short answers about what SENTLOCK does, how it works and how to start.
What does SENTLOCK do?
SENTLOCK protects your brand outside your network. It finds the look-alike domains, cloned sites and spoofed SMS sender IDs impersonating you, checks each one with eight independent detection layers, and takes confirmed threats down.
Who is SENTLOCK for?
Banks, fintech companies and other brands whose customers log in or pay online, which makes them targets for impersonation and fraud.
Do we need to install anything?
No. SENTLOCK is external by design, with no agents and no integration into your stack. It watches the open internet for anyone using your brand.
What is a look-alike domain?
A web address registered to imitate your real domain closely enough that customers mistake it for you, for example through a swapped letter, a look-alike character or an added word. Read the full guide.
What is cloaking, and why does it matter?
Cloaking is when a phishing site shows security scanners a harmless decoy and shows real victims the attack. Scanners that only see the decoy report the site as safe. SENTLOCK inspects the page a customer would actually be shown. How cloaking works.
How does SENTLOCK avoid false positives?
It knows your real domains and brand identity, so it does not raise alarms on your own infrastructure, and eight independent layers have to corroborate before a verdict is confident. How the layers work.
What happens after a threat is confirmed?
SENTLOCK sends formal abuse reports to the registrar, the hosting provider and global blocklists, and keeps the case open until the domain is offline.
Does SENTLOCK cover SMS phishing?
SENTLOCK monitors spoofed SMS sender IDs that use your brand name, alongside look-alike domains and cloned sites.
Can I check my own domain for free?
Yes. Enter a domain in the free instant check on the home page to see registered names that look similar to it. The free check compares names only; it cannot tell who owns a domain or what it is used for.
How do we get started?
Request early access on this site. We will be in touch to set SENTLOCK up on your domains.
