Brand Protection

Stop criminals using your brand to attack your clients.

3.1 billion domain spoofing emails are sent every day. Without DMARC enforcement, criminals can send emails pretending to be your business to anyone. IP Four stops this completely while improving your legitimate email deliverability at the same time.

Capabilities

Complete brand protection through email authentication.

DMARC enforcement protects your brand from being used in fraud while improving how your legitimate emails are treated by major mail providers. Both outcomes from a single implementation.

Domain Spoofing Prevention

DMARC reject policy prevents any email from being delivered that claims to come from your domain but fails authentication. Criminals cannot send emails pretending to be your business to your clients, suppliers, or staff.

Client and Supplier Protection

Your clients and suppliers are the primary targets of domain spoofing attacks. Fraudulent payment requests, fake invoices, and credential phishing emails sent in your name are stopped before they reach their inboxes.

Email Reputation Management

Major mail providers including Google, Microsoft, and Apple use DMARC enforcement as a trust signal. Correct authentication improves your sender reputation score, increasing the likelihood that legitimate emails reach inboxes rather than spam folders.

BIMI Logo Display Enablement

Brand Indicators for Message Identification (BIMI) allows your company logo to appear next to emails in supported mail clients. DMARC enforcement at reject level is a prerequisite for BIMI. We configure DMARC as the foundation for BIMI deployment.

Regulatory and Insurance Compliance

DMARC enforcement is increasingly required by cyber insurance providers and referenced in UK regulatory guidance. Correct implementation demonstrates due diligence in protecting your domain from being used in fraud against third parties.

Marketing Email Deliverability

Google and Yahoo now require DMARC for bulk email senders. Correct DMARC, SPF, and DKIM configuration ensures your marketing emails reach inboxes at major providers. Deliverability improvements typically visible within 2 to 4 weeks of correct implementation.

How It Works

From exposure to full brand protection.

01

Brand Risk Assessment

Current domain spoofing exposure assessed. DMARC monitoring deployed to identify any active spoofing campaigns. Sending source inventory completed to understand the full scope of authentication work required.

02

Authentication Foundation

SPF and DKIM configured for all legitimate sending sources. Authentication foundation must be solid before enforcement is applied. Any source not authenticated will be blocked once reject policy is enforced.

03

Phased Policy Enforcement

DMARC policy moved from monitoring through quarantine to reject in controlled phases. Each phase validated using aggregate report data. Legitimate email confirmed unaffected before advancing to the next phase.

04

Deliverability Validation

Email deliverability to major providers tested and validated after enforcement. Inbox placement rates measured. Any deliverability issues investigated and resolved. Improvements documented and reported.

05

BIMI Assessment

BIMI eligibility assessed once DMARC reject enforcement is in place. VMC certificate requirements reviewed. BIMI record configured if client wishes to display their logo in supported mail clients.

06

Ongoing Brand Monitoring

DMARC reports monitored for new spoofing attempts. Deliverability metrics tracked monthly. Policy and authentication records maintained as sending infrastructure changes. Annual brand protection review.

Real Results

How we have protected brands across the UK.

Invoice Fraud Attack on Clients

A Leeds construction company discovered that criminals had been sending fraudulent invoices to their clients using their exact domain name. Three clients had made payments totalling over 40,000 pounds before the fraud was identified.

DMARC enforcement deployed within 72 hours. All spoofing attacks stopped immediately. Clients notified and fraud reporting assisted. Cyber insurance claim supported with DMARC implementation evidence. Full enforcement maintained ongoing.

Marketing Email Deliverability Crisis

A Manchester e-commerce business found their marketing emails were being delivered to spam folders at Gmail and Outlook following Google and Yahoo's 2024 bulk sender requirements. Revenue from email campaigns dropped by 60%.

DMARC, SPF, and DKIM configured correctly to meet bulk sender requirements. Deliverability restored within 3 weeks. Email campaign revenue recovered. BIMI configured to display brand logo in Gmail, increasing open rates by 11%.

Cyber Insurance Requirement

A Birmingham professional services firm received a renewal notice from their cyber insurer requiring DMARC enforcement at reject level as a condition of continued coverage. They had 30 days to comply.

Full DMARC implementation completed in 18 days including monitoring, quarantine, and reject phases. Compliance evidence provided to insurer. Policy renewed without premium increase. Ongoing monitoring maintained as part of managed service.
