We analyse your Microsoft 365 Secure Scores, reviewing critical security areas such as user access, data protection, and threat management. From there, we provide actionable recommendations to improve your security, including advanced measures like multi-factor authentication (MFA) and threat protection.

We ensure your domain security is robust by checking SPF, DMARC, and DKIM records to guard against email-based threats like spoofing and phishing.

Importantly, we ensure your business covers the basics—much like ensuring you don’t leave the doors or windows open at home. Implementing simple but crucial practices like MFA, strong passwords, and access controls ensures your systems aren’t vulnerable to easily preventable threats.

DOMAIN SECURITY

SPF

SPF is an email authentication method that enables domain owners to specify which email servers are authorised to send emails on behalf of their domain. This is achieved by creating a DNS record that lists these authorised servers. SPF helps to prevent spammers from sending messages with forged from addresses at your domain. Correctly setting up SPF records can significantly reduce the chances of your emails being marked as spam or phishing attempts, thus enhancing domain security and email deliverability as well as protecting your brand integrity.

DMARC

DMARC is an email authentication protocol designed to allow email domain owners to protect their domain from unauthorised use, commonly known as email spoofing. The purpose and importance of DMARC is to ensure that legitimate email is properly authenticated against established DKIM and SPF standards and that any fraudulent activity appearing to come from domains under the organisation’s control is blocked. By implementing DMARC, organisations can improve their domain security and protect their reputation by minimising the risk of phishing attacks and email fraud.

DKIM

DKIM provides a way to validate a domain name identity associated with a message through cryptographic authentication. Email servers configured with DKIM can attach a digital signature to outgoing emails. This signature can be validated against a public cryptographic key in the organisation’s DNS records. DKIM helps to ensure that the content of the emails remains trusted and unaltered from the point it was sent until it reaches the intended recipient. Implementing DKIM effectively helps to combat email spoofing and ensures that emails are not altered or compromised during transit.
