Email security & deliverability in East Tāmaki
Email is where most attacks start and where most business is still done. We filter out the phishing and fake invoices before staff see them, lock down your domain so nobody else can send as you, and fix the settings that send your own mail to clients' junk folders.
Onsite technicians cover East Tāmaki. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Email security & deliverability for East Tāmaki businesses
East Tamaki is one of New Zealand's largest industrial and business areas, stretching along Springs Road, Ti Rakau Drive and Harris Road, with manufacturers, importers, distributors, engineering firms, printers and trade wholesalers. Most premises combine an office at the front with a warehouse or factory behind.
Office-and-warehouse buildings here need networks that serve two very different spaces: cabled desks and meeting rooms up front, and Wi-Fi strong enough to reach handheld scanners between tall racking out the back. Many sites also run CCTV, access control and production machines that should sit on their own network segments, and dispatch stops if the internet drops, so a failover connection earns its keep.
Both have the same root. Email was designed long before anyone worried about forgery, so proving who sent a message depends on a handful of DNS records and filtering settings that most small businesses have never had set up properly. SPF lists the services allowed to send for you, DKIM signs your messages and DMARC tells other mail servers what to do with anything that fails. Big mail providers now expect all three from business senders.
East Tamaki is close to home for our Auckland technicians, who visit for warehouse Wi-Fi, cabling, CCTV and office computers. Everyday issues are fixed remotely, and site work is planned around shifts and dispatch.
What's included
Phishing and malware filtering
Incoming mail scanned for malicious links, attachments and fake sign-in pages, with links checked again when they are clicked.
External sender warnings
A clear banner on mail from outside the company, so a message using the boss's name from a free email account stands out.
Junk folder fixes
We trace why your mail is being filtered, from missing records to a listed address or a website form sending as you, and correct it.
DMARC rollout
A reporting-only policy first, then a gradual move to quarantine and reject once reports show all your genuine mail passes.
Impersonation protection
Rules that flag mail pretending to come from your directors, your domain or lookalike domains with a letter swapped.
SPF records
One correct SPF record listing every service that legitimately sends for you, kept within the lookup limits that break many records.
Is it right for your East Tāmaki office?
Email security is worth a look if:
- Clients tell you your invoices or quotes end up in junk
- Someone received a fake invoice that appeared to come from your address
- Staff are getting convincing fake Microsoft sign-in emails
- You don't know whether your domain has SPF, DKIM or DMARC
- A large client or bank has asked you to set up DMARC
How getting started works
- Free IT health check. We look at your devices, accounts, backups and network and tell you what we find, in plain English.
- Clear proposal. A written monthly price per user and a list of any fixes, with nothing hidden.
- Handover. We collect admin access and documentation from your current provider and keep your team working.
- Day-one fixes. Security gaps, failed backups and urgent risks are dealt with first.
Email security & deliverability in East Tāmaki: questions
Can you design Wi-Fi for a warehouse in East Tamaki?
Yes. We survey the building with the racking and stock in place, then position access points for the aisles and loading areas where scanners are used. The design and installation are quoted in writing before we start.
Should our CCTV and production machines be on the office network?
No. We separate cameras, machines and office computers into their own segments behind a managed firewall, so a vulnerable device cannot be used to reach your accounts or files.
Why does our email go to junk?
Common causes are a missing or broken SPF record, no DKIM signing, a website or app sending as your domain without permission, or a shared sending address with a poor reputation. We check each one and fix the cause.
What are SPF, DKIM and DMARC in plain English?
SPF is a list of who can send email for your domain. DKIM is a digital signature on each message. DMARC ties them together and tells receiving servers whether to accept, quarantine or reject mail that fails, and sends you reports about it.
What does it cost?
Email security is included from the Managed plan at $119 per user per month plus GST. A one-off domain records and deliverability fix outside a plan is quoted in writing first.
Will turning on DMARC stop our own emails?
It can if it is rushed. That is why we start in reporting mode, find every service sending as you and only tighten the policy when the reports show your genuine mail passing.
