IMPAC PREQUAL is a recognized health and safety prequalification system used by New Zealand councils, government agencies, and major corporations like Fonterra. The auth subdomain aligns with the official app.impacprequal.co.nz platform for account creation and authentication. Our antivirus network flagged no malicious content, the hosting IP has zero abuse reports, and SSL is valid. Business registration confirms IMPAC PREQUAL as an active New Zealand entity. Web research found no scam reports, complaints, or fraud allegations — only confirmation that the service is a standard industry requirement. The Imperva WAF block in the screenshot is a security measure, not a sign of malicious intent; it simply means the scanner's IP was rate-limited or blocked by the site's own firewall, which is normal for legitimate login portals.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The screenshot shows an Imperva Web Application Firewall (WAF) access-denied block page. This indicates the site's security layer rejected the scanner's IP before any content loaded. This is typical behaviour for authentication portals that restrict access to legitimate users and block automated crawlers.

Infrastructure

Hosting IP 107.154.79.32 has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score. SSL certificate is valid and issued by DigiCert/GeoTrust, expiring in 109 days. No redirects or homoglyph indicators detected.

Domain History

WHOIS data is unavailable, but business registration confirms IMPAC PREQUAL as an active New Zealand entity. The parent company operates official domains prequal.co.nz and impac.co.nz, with published contact details (0800 773 782, info@prequal.co.nz). The auth subdomain is consistent with a login portal for the legitimate app.impacprequal.co.nz platform.

Web Reputation

Our antivirus network: 0 of 92 engines flagged malicious or suspicious content. Browser blocklists are clean. Web research found zero scam reports, complaints, or fraud allegations. Official IMPAC PREQUAL materials and Google search results confirm the domain as the legitimate authentication endpoint for contractor prequalification and H&S assessments.

Risk Factors
2
  • WAF block prevented visual analysis of actual site content; however, this is expected behaviour for a login portal.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on auth.impacprequal.co.nz and not a lookalike like a-uth.impacprequal.co.nz.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.
