Digital Ownership Review is part of EmberNova Digital’s Digital Infrastructure practice.

What does your business actually control?

You may already have the logins. That does not always mean the business actually controls the accounts, recovery methods, renewals, vendors, and systems behind them.


A Digital Ownership Review looks at the critical digital assets your business depends on, who controls them, how access is managed, and what could become a problem if a vendor, employee, or administrator changes.

OWNERSHIP SHOULD BE CLEAR BEFORE SOMETHING CHANGES.

WHAT WE REVIEW

The review follows the digital assets your business depends on.

A Digital Ownership Review looks beyond whether someone can log in today. We examine how critical accounts and systems are owned, administered, recovered, renewed, documented, and transferred.


The goal is simple: know what the business controls, where control is unclear, and what should be corrected first.

The exact environment varies by business, but the review may include:


Domains, DNS & Hosting
Who owns the domain, where DNS is managed, how hosting is controlled, who receives renewal notices, and whether the business can make changes without depending on a third party.


Business Email & Workspace
Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace administration, recovery methods, administrator access, billing ownership, shared accounts, and continuity if an employee or administrator leaves.


Website & Digital Platforms
CMS access, hosting accounts, e-commerce platforms, analytics, Search Console, Google Business Profile, social accounts, and other systems tied to the business’s online presence.


Access, Recovery & MFA
Administrator roles, recovery email and phone numbers, MFA ownership, password-management practices, and whether the business has a workable path back into critical accounts.


Backups & Continuity
What is backed up, where backups are stored, who controls them, whether restoration has been tested, and what happens if a system or vendor becomes unavailable.


Vendors, Documentation & Dependencies
Which systems depend on employees, agencies, developers, IT providers, or other vendors, along with the documentation needed to understand and transfer those relationships.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

Clear findings you can actually act on.

The review turns a scattered digital environment into a documented picture of what the business controls, where ownership or access is unclear, and what deserves attention first.


You leave with a clearer record of the digital environment and a prioritized plan for strengthening the areas that need attention.

Access & Recovery Findings


Identification of weak or unclear administrator access, recovery methods, MFA ownership, billing control, and other access dependencies that could make an account difficult to recover or transfer.

Vendor & Key-Person Dependencies


Clear visibility into systems that rely heavily on a specific employee, agency, developer, IT provider, or other third party.

Continuity Gaps




Findings related to backups, recovery paths, documentation, renewals, transferability, and other issues that could interfere with continued access or operation when something changes.

Prioritized Remediation Plan


A practical list of what should be corrected first, what can wait, and where professional implementation may be appropriate.

Review Summary

Remediation is separate from the review.

If implementation is needed, EmberNova Digital can scope that work separately. The review itself is designed to identify and verify the issues before additional work is recommended.

Ready to get clear on who controls your critical digital assets?

A Digital Ownership Review gives you a documented view of ownership, access, recovery, dependencies, and the gaps that should be addressed first.

Structured review. Clear findings. Remediation scoped separately when needed.

HOW THE REVIEW WORKS

A structured review from access to action.

The Digital Ownership Review is designed to verify the current environment, surface gaps, and give you a clear order of operations.

1. Identify the critical digital assets

We establish which domains, platforms, accounts, vendors, systems, and administrative relationships matter to the business.

2. Verify ownership and administrative control
Define the site structure, content architecture, platform approach, e-commerce or catalog requirements, integrations, hosting, domains, email, Workspace or Microsoft 365 needs, analytics, backups, and administrative ownership.

3. Review access and recovery paths
We examine recovery emails, phone numbers, MFA ownership, backup access, administrator roles, and other paths that affect whether critical accounts can be recovered.

4. Check continuity and dependency risks
We identify areas where access, documentation, renewals, vendors, backups, or key people could create avoidable disruption if something changes.

5. Document the findings
You receive a clear record of what was verified, what remains unclear, and which issues deserve attention.

6. Prioritize remediation
We organize the findings into practical next steps so you know what should be corrected first and what can reasonably wait.

The result is a documented ownership picture and a practical remediation path, without jumping straight into unnecessary implementation.

The value of the review is knowing where control is solid, where it is unclear, and what should happen next.

WHY THIS REVIEW MATTERS

Clear ownership makes future changes easier to handle.

Digital ownership problems often stay invisible until something changes: an employee leaves, a vendor relationship ends, a renewal comes due, a platform needs to be migrated, or the business prepares for succession or sale.


A Digital Ownership Review gives you a clearer picture before one of those moments forces the issue.

What this can improve


Clearer administrative control - Know which critical accounts are controlled by the business, who has administrator access, and where ownership still depends on another person or company.


Stronger recovery readiness - Identify weak recovery methods, unclear MFA ownership, inaccessible backups, or other issues that could make an account difficult to recover.


Less vendor dependency - See where an agency, developer, IT provider, employee, or other third party has become a critical dependency.


Better continuity - Understand which gaps could create problems during employee turnover, vendor changes, succession, acquisition, migration, or other transitions.


Better documentation - Create a clearer record of the accounts, systems, access paths, vendors, and dependencies the business relies on.


A prioritized path forward - Separate issues that need attention now from lower-priority improvements, so remediation can be planned instead of treated as one large emergency project.

A closer look at why stronger systems, clearer ownership, and less dependence on one person matter as businesses grow, change, or prepare for what comes next.

COMMON QUESTIONS

A strong digital foundation starts with knowing what the business actually needs.

  • What do you need access to for the review?

    That depends on your environment. EmberNova Digital may need visibility into administrative settings, account ownership, recovery methods, billing relationships, vendor information, backups, and documentation for the systems being reviewed. We will tell you what is needed during intake.

  • Do I have to provide passwords or MFA codes?

    No. EmberNova Digital does not need your passwords, MFA codes, API keys, secret keys, or banking credentials. The review focuses on verifying ownership, administrative control, recovery paths, documentation, and dependencies without collecting sensitive credentials.

  • How long does the review take?

    Most Digital Ownership Reviews are completed within 3–5 business days once intake is complete and the required access or information is available. More complex environments may take longer.

  • What happens if you find problems?

    You receive clear findings and a prioritized remediation plan showing what should be addressed first. Some issues may be simple enough for your team or current vendors to correct. Others may require additional technical work.

  • Is remediation included in the $995 fee?

    No. The Digital Ownership Review identifies, verifies, and prioritizes issues. Remediation is scoped separately so you are not paying for implementation before the actual needs are known.

  • What if my business has a complex or multi-entity digital environment?

    The $995 fixed fee is designed for established small and midsize businesses with a typical digital environment. Multi-entity organizations, unusually large environments, or businesses with extensive platforms and vendor relationships may require a custom scope.
