In this episode, you discover how to protect your digital assets, safeguard your online presence, and prevent costly disruptions that can cripple your business. Paige Wiese, Founder and CEO of Tree Ring Digital, joins you to break down the overlooked elements of digital asset management that every business owner must take seriously.
You learn why proper ownership matters, where dangerous gaps often hide, and how simple oversights can turn into expensive, reputation-damaging emergencies. Paige walks you through the risks associated with domain management, hosting, user access, admin rights, vendor logins, outdated credentials, and unmonitored auto-renewals. She also explains how digital mismanagement can delay acquisitions, lower valuations, impact operations, and expose your brand to fraud, phishing, and data loss.
Whether you are running your business independently or leading a larger team, this episode shows you how to stay in control, maintain continuity, and keep your company protected through employee turnover, vendor transitions, outside threats, and periods of growth.
You also receive access to Paige’s free Digital Asset Assessment Checklist to help you begin organizing and securing your digital footprint immediately.

Key Notes
- Digital asset management includes domains, hosting, email systems, logins, vendor access, credit cards on file, and intellectual property.
- Lack of documentation leads to major business risks during turnover, offboarding, and vendor transitions.
- Auto-renewals fail frequently due to expired cards or overlooked notices.
- Agencies may own your marketing data unless you confirm ownership in advance.
- Multiple admin-level access points are essential for account recovery.
- Missing access can delay or derail acquisitions and significantly reduce valuation.
- Unclaimed or incorrect online listings damage credibility and disrupt sales.
- Phishing threats are rising; verification must happen through new email threads.
- Centralized systems and secure storage prevent forgotten logins and overlooked tools.
- Digital continuity planning is necessary for emergencies, leadership changes, or unexpected events.
