GoDaddy’s federated trust system was designed for convenience — but in today’s threat landscape, convenience can mean compromise. GoDaddy defederation is the process of removing your domain from shared authentication frameworks to gain full control over your email security. This allows your organization to craft a custom, secure configuration that aligns with your internal security policies and infrastructure. From crafting precise SPF records to implementing strict DMARC enforcement, defederation helps prevent spoofing, phishing, and unauthorized sending. It’s also an effective strategy for organizations looking to comply with industry regulations or improve email deliverability metrics.
