How ZipZy keeps malicious links off your domain
Branded short links build trust — which makes them a target. Here's the layered defense that protects every ZipZy link.

The moment a short link carries your brand, it carries your reputation too. Protecting it is not optional.
Scanning at creation time
Every destination is checked against threat feeds the moment a link is created.
const verdict = await scan(destination);
if (verdict === "malicious") {
throw new LinkRejected("Destination flagged by threat intelligence");
}Continuous re-checking
A safe link today can turn malicious tomorrow if the destination is compromised. We re-scan active links on a rolling schedule.
What you can do
- Enable link expiry for time-bound campaigns
- Turn on scan-on-redirect for high-risk audiences
- Review the abuse dashboard weekly
Trust is slow to build and fast to lose. We treat every link like it matters — because it does.
