We help security teams stop threats earlier, cut false positives, and simplify their stack with full-scope DNS security

About us

Most security stacks are bloated. Security teams waste entire days debugging systems instead of using the full capabilities of DNS — the first mile of security. Control D is DNS Security Orchestration. We help IT leaders, CISOs, and MSPs: - Stop phishing, ransomware, and malware at the DNS layer (99.97% verified block rate). - Cut false positives and reduce alert fatigue. - Simplify bloated stacks with 1,000+ service-level controls. - Deploy in minutes — no hardware, no agents, no upsells. Trusted by companies like Pinnacle ICT, Data Net Solutions, and public venues such as Massey Hall and Roy Thomson Hall, Control D turns DNS from your weakest link into your moat. 👉 Start your 30-day risk-free trial at controld.com

  • During Cybersecurity Awareness Month, one topic still doesn’t get the attention it deserves: visibility. There’s plenty of focus on firewalls, endpoint protection, and user training, all of which are essential. But without visibility, even the best defenses leave blind spots. One of the biggest lies at the DNS layer, where most threats first appear. If you can’t see where your DNS traffic is really going, you can’t fully control your network or your risk. You’re essentially flying blind. That’s where Control D comes in. We give you instant visibility and fine-grained control over what leaves (and enters) your network, without heavy infrastructure or massive overhead. Why it matters: ✅ See everything: Real-time DNS analytics, scheduled reports, and SIEM streaming for complete visibility. 🚫 Stop threats early: Multi-source malware intelligence and ML detection delivering a 99.98% block rate. 🎛️ Control precisely: Granular policies to block or allow 1,000+ services and apps with accuracy. 🏗️ Scale with confidence: Multi-tenancy and full protocol support make Control D enterprise-ready from day one. Visibility isn’t just about monitoring. It’s also about using these insights to make smarter, data-driven security decisions. 👉 Try Control D free for 30 days (no credit card required): https://lnkd.in/gRUBTbSK

  • Torrents. Crypto miners. Shadow IT – all hiding in plain sight. That was the reality at The Corporation of Massey Hall and Roy Thomson Hall, two of Toronto’s most iconic performing arts centers. Their old DNS filtering solution was clunky, expensive, and offered little visibility into what was happening on their network: ❌ No protection on guest Wi-Fi ❌ Shadow IT and risky activity slipping through unnoticed ❌ Difficult to access logs and filter data When renewal time came, they made the switch to Control D and saw results instantly: ✅ Guest Wi-Fi secured in minutes ✅ Real-time insights across guest and internal networks ✅ Centralized control of both venues from a single dashboard ✅ Seamless hybrid workforce protection ✅ Zero end-user disruption + major cost savings “The implementation was straightforward, the reporting is much clearer, and the service has been seamless. The visibility we now have into our network is invaluable.” – Neil Bowen, IT Manager.

  • For 25+ years, 7 Security Group - Saet Umbria has been a leader in physical security – protecting businesses from theft, intrusion, and other threats. But as cyber risks surged, their clients kept asking: "Can you help with digital security too?"
