Abstract: A method of verifying resource protection statuses for resources for address-based resources may include receiving a request for verification of resource protection from a client device for an address-based resource. The request includes an address of a resource. The intermediate system is programmed to receive resource protection verification requests from a plurality of client devices, and to receive resource protection verifications from a plurality of resource protection systems that are in communication with the intermediate system. The method also includes determining that none of the resource protection systems in the plurality of resource protection systems currently protect the resource; retrieving information that is securely stored for the resource and a user associated with the request; and sending the information to one or more of the plurality of resource protection systems as a request to protect the resource.
