DMARC
What is not to like about a technology that is trusted, free and adds a very important layer of email protection to your organisation, and is mandated by UK and US governments?
DMARC helps protects your business, your customer’s business and your supplier’s business from email impersonation
Is DMARC really free?
Yes, in that the technology is available free to all. However set up is not a simple walk in the park and using non-IT skilled persons is not ideal. There are setup guides which will assist but I still recommend using skilled resource.
So, if implemented yourself then it really is free.
DMARC is only the first line and like all things free is a baseline and good starting point. It is highly recommended more sophisticated email security solutions are also implemented.

Are you at risk?
Our free service will provide you with a report detailing your status and whether you are are at risk of email impersonation attacks.
If you are at risk we will prove it by sending an email that looks like it has come from your own account.....effectively email impersonation.
Who needs DMARC?
Everyone, including 1 person owner/directors with a single company domain and a business email address. Some would say that smaller companies are most at risk. In reality everyone is at risk but smaller companies tend to feel the impact of a successful attack more than larger companies.
We might be the only service provider that gives the same level of service to owner/directors and small companies as to larger clients.
How does DMARC work?
In very simple terms when you send an email the receiver needs to decide if the email has really come from you. DMARC provides a means by which the receiver can verify it is a genuine email from you. This gives the receiver the ability to accept, quarantine or reject based on this verification. Without DMARC the receiver simple puts the email into the inbox and opens up a potential world pain if that email was an impersonation email.
What can the bad guys do if you don't have DMARC configured?
Whaling/CEO Fraud/Business Email Compromise.
The bad actors masquerade as a senior partner, executive or director and target an employee in an attempt to extract money or information. As the email appears real why would the employee not respond positively to the senior persons request and thus the fraud is complete.
They may target your customers and suppliers.
