What email security should accomplish
Effective email security is not just spam filtering. It is a layered approach that reduces phishing success, blocks malicious content, prevents spoofing and impersonation, and limits damage if an account is compromised. It also improves deliverability and trust in your outbound mail.
Reduce phishing success
Phishing is designed to trick users, not systems. We combine better filtering, safe link controls, identity alignment such as MFA, and user readiness improvements to reduce successful attacks.
Stop domain spoofing and impersonation
Domain authentication controls help prevent criminals from sending mail that appears to come from your business. Correct SPF, DKIM, and DMARC reduce impersonation risk and improve sender reputation.
Harden mailboxes and admin settings
Misconfigurations and weak defaults can leave mailboxes exposed. We harden settings, reduce risky behaviors, and align administrative access to secure standards.
Secure collaboration and file sharing
Files and chat are part of your collaboration environment. We tighten sharing controls, external access rules, and governance to reduce accidental data exposure and unauthorized access.
What is included in email and collaboration security
We implement the controls that matter most first. This creates a rapid security lift while maintaining usability for your team.
Mailbox hardening
Secure settings, reduced risky behaviors, and improved admin posture to make compromise harder and response easier.
Anti phishing and impersonation controls
Enhanced filtering, policy tuning, and protections designed to reduce credential theft and invoice fraud attempts.
SPF DKIM DMARC alignment
Domain authentication setup and tuning to reduce spoofing, improve trust, and strengthen outbound deliverability.
Safe sharing governance
Collaboration platform rules for external sharing, guest access, link settings, and lifecycle control to reduce accidental exposure.
Identity alignment
Where applicable, we align email security with identity controls such as MFA and conditional access to reduce account takeover risk.
Incident readiness
Practical response steps for suspicious mail, compromised accounts, and impersonation attempts so issues are contained quickly.
Common email and collaboration threats we address
These are high frequency issues that impact small and mid size businesses. We focus on reducing successful attacks, not just creating alerts.
Business email compromise and invoice fraud
Attackers impersonate executives or vendors and request wire transfers or gift cards. We harden identity, mail controls, and sharing posture to reduce success and improve detection.
Credential harvesting and fake login pages
Phishing links capture credentials and lead to account takeover. We improve filtering, safe link handling, and identity requirements to reduce compromise risk.
Spoofing and domain impersonation
Without SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, anyone can pretend to send mail as your domain. We implement correct authentication controls and monitoring.
Oversharing and accidental data exposure
Files shared with the wrong audience can be as damaging as a breach. We implement governance for sharing links, guest access, and external collaboration.
How we start
We begin with a posture review, then implement high impact changes first. The goal is to quickly reduce risk while keeping mail and collaboration usable.
Step 1: Review platform and domain posture
We review Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace configuration, admin posture, mail flow, existing filtering, and domain authentication status.
Step 2: Implement mailbox hardening and anti phishing controls
We tune controls that reduce phishing and impersonation and harden mailboxes so suspicious activity is detected and contained faster.
Step 3: Configure SPF DKIM DMARC and monitoring
We implement authentication controls, align them to your mail senders, and improve trust in outbound mail.
Step 4: Secure sharing and build response workflows
We tighten collaboration sharing rules and document practical incident response steps for suspicious mail and compromised accounts.
