Web Hosting & Security
DNS configuration, SSL provisioning, Cloudflare setup, security scorecard remediation, and ongoing hosting management - the infrastructure layer that keeps marketing sites operational and trusted.
Security and hosting failures don't announce themselves in advance.
A misconfigured DNS record, an expired SSL certificate, or a flagged security scorecard can disrupt email deliverability, erode browser trust, and surface in procurement reviews at exactly the wrong moment. Tactical Marketing manages this layer as a continuous operational responsibility - not a one-time setup.
Our Approach
We handle the configuration work that technical marketing teams shouldn't have to context-switch into.
DNS records, SSL provisioning, Cloudflare firewall policy, and the security scorecard remediation that vendor security teams flag during procurement cycles. Hosting management covers uptime monitoring, plugin security updates, and the backup verification that keeps sites recoverable when something goes wrong.

Frequently Asked Questions
A prospect's security team flagged our scorecard rating during procurement. Can you fix it quickly?
This is one of the most common ways this work arrives - a deal stalls because SecurityScorecard or BitSight flagged TLS configuration, deprecated scripts, or missing security headers. Most findings are configuration fixes, not infrastructure projects: header policies, certificate chain issues, SRI compliance on third-party scripts, DNS records that leak information. We triage by what's actually blocking the deal, remediate the findings that matter, and document what was fixed so your team can respond to the security questionnaire with specifics. Typical turnaround on the blocking items is days to a couple of weeks, not months.
Do you take over our DNS and hosting, or work with our existing IT setup?
Either. Some clients hand us the full layer - DNS management, SSL provisioning, Cloudflare configuration, hosting - because nobody internally owns it and that's exactly why it drifted. Others have an IT team that owns infrastructure, in which case we do the diagnostic work, document the required changes precisely, and coordinate implementation through their change process. DNS changes in particular are unforgiving of casual handling - a wrong record breaks email or takes the site down - so we work carefully in either model, with rollback plans documented before anything changes.
Is this a one-time cleanup or an ongoing arrangement?
The initial engagement is usually a cleanup: audit the DNS records, fix the SSL and redirect gaps, configure Cloudflare correctly, remediate scorecard findings. What keeps clients on afterward is that this layer decays silently - certificates expire, scripts get added without SRI, DNS records accumulate as tools come and go. Ongoing management covers monitoring, renewal handling, backup verification, and periodic security review. Some teams take it back internally with our documentation; the ones without a clear internal owner tend to keep it managed.
