Before and After Comparison

Show how much you've improved your security. Use Veldica to get evidence that your DNS changes fixed the risks and made your domain safer.

Overview

Show how much you've improved your security. Use Veldica to get evidence that your DNS changes fixed the risks and made your domain safer.

Problem
Unseen Fixes

It's difficult to show people that your security fixes actually worked. Without a structured report, a DNS change just looks like a new line of text.

Friction
Technical Noise

Comparing DNS records by hand is confusing. Many changes are just small notes that don't really affect your security score.

Solution
Focused Comparison

Compare two reports to find real security updates and see how much your score improved, without any of the technical clutter.

The Comparison Cycle

Create a before-and-after report for every fix you make.

  1. Before: Run a full audit of your domain and save the results.
  2. Fix: Update your DNS records using our fix-plan steps.
  3. Retest: Run a new audit once your changes are live in your DNS.
  4. Compare: Send both audit IDs to our compare tool to get your final "Before and After" report.

Why Manual Checks Fail

Checking two records by hand often misses the real security impact.

  • Hidden Changes: A person might see a new record but not know if it accidentally broke a technical limit.
  • Matching Gaps: Teams often miss when a new security key doesn't match your main brand rules.
  • Unimportant Details: Manual checks often get bogged down in small changes that don't matter for security.

The Veldica Way

Move from manual guessing to automated, structured reporting.

Score Change

Get a single number (like +25 points) that shows exactly how much better your security is.

Problem Solver

See exactly which risks you fixed and which ones are now completely gone.

Error Trap

Automatically find out if a fix accidentally created a new security error elsewhere.

Ready for Reports

Get clean data that you can share with your team or clients to prove your hard work.

Get Your Comparison Report

Compare two audit results to find the real security changes.

Request
POST /v1/pro/audits/compare
{
  "base_report_id": "report_123",
  "head_report_id": "report_456"
}

Simple Comparison Result

The API shows you which issues are fixed and how much your score went up.

Comparison Example
{
  "score_delta": 25,
  "fixed_issues": [
    {
      "id": "dmarc.policy_none",
      "severity": "high"
    }
  ],
  "new_issues": [],
  "warnings": []
}

Reading the Report

Use the comparison to prove your security improvements.

  • Score Change: The number of points your security score improved after your fix.
  • Fixed Issues: A list of the security gaps that are now closed.
  • New Issues: Any new errors that were accidentally added during the fix process.
  • Warnings: Notes if the two audits were done differently (like checking different keys).
