Your deadlines in your calendar (iCal)

Certificates and domain registrations expire, accepted risks come up for review, DMARC steps become possible. The deadline calendar puts all those dates in the calendar you already use: Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar. It is included in every plan.

Subscribe

1. Open Settings and find the Deadline calendar card (owners and admins).
2. Press Make the calendar address.
3. Press Open in my calendar app to subscribe on this device, or copy the address and add it as a calendar “from URL”.
4. Check that the events appear. The card then says when a calendar last read the address.

Calendar apps refresh a subscribed calendar every few hours, so a new date can take a while to show.

What is in it

One all-day event per deadline, in the language of the workspace, each with a link to the page concerned:

• the expiry of the certificate of each host, and of each domain’s registration, from the latest audit of your proved domains;
• the DMARC steps: the day a domain was found ready for its next policy, or the earliest day it can be (from the Solo plan, with DMARC reports on);
• the review and expiry dates of open accepted risks (from the Solo plan, with the risk register);
• the due dates of the findings of the remediation plan still to fix (from the Solo plan), with the name of the person it is assigned to, never their e-mail address (nobody is named if they gave no name).

Dates more than 30 days in the past are left out.

Keep the address private

Anyone with the address can read these deadlines: domain names, dates and the titles of your accepted risks. Keep it to yourself and your team.

• Make a new address if it leaked: the current one stops working at once, in every calendar that uses it. Subscribe again with the new one.
• Turn off stops the address: calendars that use it get no more updates.

The address is read without signing in, so it works in any calendar app; it does not give access to anything else in your workspace.
