Email Security

Email is the number one attack vector. Treat it that way.

Over 90% of cyberattacks start with an email. Microsoft 365 default protection is not enough. IP Four layers advanced filtering, impersonation protection, and staff training to close the gap.

What We Deliver

Protection that goes beyond the default settings.

We combine technology and training to address every dimension of email-based risk. From the technical controls to the human element.

Advanced Email Filtering

Multi-layer filtering that stops spam, malware, and phishing before they reach your inbox. Far beyond what Microsoft 365 default protection provides.

Anti-Phishing and Impersonation Protection

AI-powered detection of business email compromise, CEO fraud, and supplier impersonation attacks. The threats that bypass traditional filters.

DMARC, DKIM and SPF Configuration

Proper email authentication setup that stops criminals spoofing your domain to attack your clients and suppliers. Protects your reputation as well as your inbox.

Phishing Simulation and Training

Regular simulated phishing campaigns that test your staff and provide targeted training to those who need it most. Measurable improvement over time.

Email Archiving and Continuity

Compliant email archiving with instant search and legal hold capabilities. Plus email continuity so your team can keep working even if Microsoft 365 goes down.

Data Loss Prevention

Policies that prevent sensitive data leaving your organisation via email. Credit card numbers, NI numbers, and confidential documents flagged and blocked automatically.
