India register

Your organisation runs on more systems than anyone is watching.

29 of them are in our register. Each one has its own login, its own inbox, and its own idea of what you owe it — and none of them knows the others exist.

Three things go wrong, and all three are unforced

Nobody knows who holds the login

Somebody registered it years ago. They have left. The recovery number is theirs. Nobody noticed until it mattered.

Nobody reads the inbox

A notice sits unread for ninety days and the first anyone hears of it is a penalty — or, at the far end, a strike-off.

Nothing connects to the proof

What a portal is waiting for and the document that would satisfy it live in different places, held by different people.

What PortalHQ does

Keeps the register. What exists, who holds it and in what capacity, when it was last opened and by whom, what came out of it, and what it is waiting for. When somebody leaves, you get a list rather than a search.

What it deliberately does not do

It does not log into these systems for you and it does not scrape them — no such arrangement exists with their operators, and pretending otherwise would be both fragile and dishonest. Portal watch is a scheduled check-in plus intake of the notification emails they already send. And it registers who holds access, not passwords.

Hard to recover

Losing one of these is not a fine. It is weeks.

Marked critical because recovery is slow, bureaucratic, or depends on a phone number or certificate that may have left with someone. These are the ones a handover has to catch.

This register is authored, not scraped, and it grows. If a system you depend on is missing, tell us and we will add it.

Start with the one nobody can log into.

Every organisation has one. Finding it is usually the moment this becomes worth doing.
