Email Security
Your Emails Should Reach Inboxes, Not Spam Folders
Your emails have started landing in spam. A client mentioned they never got your message. You got a warning from Google or Microsoft that doesn't quite make sense. However you got here, email deliverability has become something you need to think about, and it's more complicated than it should be.
That's where we come in. We handle the entire DMARC process, from initial setup through ongoing monitoring, so your legitimate emails get delivered and fraudulent ones get blocked. No XML reports to parse, no DNS records to decipher, no wondering if you configured it right.
The Short Version: What DMARC Actually Does
DMARC is an email authentication protocol that verifies emails claiming to come from your domain actually do. It works alongside two other technologies, SPF and DKIM, to create a layered defense against email fraud.
Here's the simple version: SPF confirms the mail server is authorized to send on your behalf. DKIM adds a digital signature proving the message hasn't been tampered with. DMARC ties them together and tells receiving servers what to do when authentication fails: accept it, quarantine it, or reject it entirely.

Why This Matters Now
The major email providers have drawn a line in the sand. If you're sending bulk email without proper authentication, your messages are increasingly likely to end up in spam or get blocked entirely.
Google & Yahoo
Since February 2024, organizations sending more than 5,000 emails per day to Gmail or Yahoo addresses must have SPF, DKIM, and DMARC in place. No exceptions.
Microsoft
Microsoft has similar requirements for high-volume senders to Outlook, Hotmail, and Live addresses. They're getting stricter every year.
Beyond email deliverability, DMARC helps with broader compliance requirements like GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS, all of which expect protection of sensitive communications.
What We Handle
DMARC isn't a set-it-and-forget-it thing. It requires ongoing monitoring, adjustment, and analysis. We handle all of it so you don't have to become an email authentication expert.
Why This Works
Email authentication is tricky. Configure it too strictly and you block legitimate emails. Too loosely and you leave your domain vulnerable to spoofing. We've done this enough times to know how to get it right.
