I know you're getting a lot of good technical advise in this thread but let me bring out something that needs to be said more often:
No web developer or web development agency or SEO person or whatever needs your EPP/transfer codes. I say this because I have absolutely lost count of the amount of businesses that just hand this over because these people just say they need it and before you know it, the domain you put so much effort into managing ends up on some crappy web hosting service. It's gotten beyond the joke. I feel like every business I've ever been associated with has seen this. Marketing hires some "digital marketing consultant". Suddenly the domain is sitting on Crazy Domains and the entire zone is empty.
Yes, I think business domains should be handled with absolute care and know how internally. Hence why I put so much importance on this matter.
Honestly have a look at web development subs. You'll often find posts like "this business asked me to change their landing page but they want to manage their own domain WTF is this possible??".
And I have to admit, yes I'm salty. I got torn to pieces over a large mail cluster "failing" and this turned out to be the cause.
Maybe you should be salty that management thinks "tearing people to pieces" is an appropriate response to an incident before the cause is even known.
