Email Security

Block phishing, malware and business email compromise before they reach a user's inbox.

In plain English

Email is still the most common way attackers get into a business

Email security filters malicious messages, unsafe attachments, dangerous links and impersonation attempts before they ever reach a user. Done properly, it tunes protection to your real senders and risky users.

Why this matters to your business
  • Reduces phishing, malware and business email compromise
  • Protects your finance and leadership inboxes
  • Keeps genuine email flowing when threats spike
What good looks like
  • Policies tuned to your business, not left on defaults
  • High-risk users have extra protection
  • Quarantine is reviewed and false positives are cleaned up

What it is

Understanding email security

Email is still the number one attack vector. Default Microsoft 365 anti-spam catches the obvious stuff; modern attackers don't send obvious stuff. We layer Microsoft Defender for Office 365 with the policy and tuning that actually stops impersonation, attachment-based malware and supplier compromise - and we triage what gets through.

Frameworks we align to
  • Cyber Essentials & Cyber Essentials Plus
  • ISO 27001:2022 Annex A controls
  • NCSC 10 Steps to Cyber Security
  • CIS Critical Security Controls v8
