Brand protection – detect abuse of your brand before customers fall for it
Fraudsters use well-known brands to deceive customers: with mistyped domains, fake shops, phishing pages in the design of your website or fake profiles and apps in your name. The damage hits your customers – and ultimately your reputation. With our brand protection tests we find such fakes before they cause major damage.
For this we work with a specialist who has been active in brand protection for many years. You receive a one-off analysis with report and recommendations and, on request, ongoing monitoring that informs you of new findings.

Frequently asked questions about brand protection
Why is brand abuse a security issue?
Fake domains, shops and profiles are used deliberately to deceive your customers: they enter credentials on phishing pages, order from fake shops or follow fake support contacts. The financial damage first hits your customers, but the loss of trust hits your business. Detecting such fakes early lets you warn customers, report them and take further steps before many customers are affected.
Who carries out the brand protection tests?
We work with a specialist who has been active in brand protection for many years and knows the methods of fraudsters in detail. LCube is your contact: we agree the scope with you, accompany the analysis, discuss the results with you and support you with the technical steps, such as securing your own domains or protecting your website.
What happens when a fake is found?
Every finding is documented in the report with evidence and a risk rating. You also receive recommendations for the next steps, for example warning customers, reporting the fake to the platform operator, hosting provider or registry, or having legal steps examined. You can register endangered variants of your domain name with us so that they are no longer available to fraudsters.
Do I need a one-off analysis or ongoing monitoring?
The one-off analysis shows you where your brand currently stands and is a good starting point. Because new fake domains, shops and profiles appear constantly, we additionally recommend ongoing monitoring for well-known brands, online shops and businesses with many end customers. You are then informed as soon as new findings appear and can react quickly.
