Email security & deliverability in Glen Innes
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 Glen Innes. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Email security & deliverability for Glen Innes businesses
Glen Innes has a town centre on Line Road and Apirana Avenue with retail, food businesses, community and social service providers, and sits within the wider Tamaki regeneration area where new housing and mixed-use buildings are going up. Many local organisations are small, community-focused teams.
Social service and community providers here hold sensitive personal information, yet often run on tight budgets with second-hand devices and generic email accounts. Clear user accounts, encrypted laptops for staff who visit clients, secure Microsoft 365 and dependable backups give them protection without big spending.
We put those records in place carefully. Every service that sends as you, such as your accounting package, website forms and newsletter tool, is found and included first, so tightening the policy doesn't block your own invoices. Then we add filtering for incoming mail and show staff how to report anything odd. Finally we keep watching the DMARC reports, so a new service sending as you, or someone trying to forge your address, is spotted and dealt with rather than discovered when a client complains.
We send technicians to Glen Innes offices for setups and network fixes, with remote support for daily issues. Plans can start small and grow as an organisation does.
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.
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.
Report-a-scam button
A simple way for staff to send a suspicious email to us for checking, so problems get reported rather than quietly deleted.
SPF records
One correct SPF record listing every service that legitimately sends for you, kept within the lookup limits that break many records.
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.
Is it right for your Glen Innes 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 Glen Innes: questions
Our staff visit clients with laptops. How do we keep that information safe?
Laptops should be encrypted, protected by multi-factor sign-in and managed so they can be locked and wiped if lost. Files stay in Microsoft 365 rather than on the device, so a lost laptop is a hardware cost, not a privacy breach.
Can you help a not-for-profit with Microsoft 365?
Yes. We set up and manage Microsoft 365 for charities and community groups, including checking whether your organisation is eligible for Microsoft's non-profit licensing, which we confirm with you rather than assume.
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.
Isn't Microsoft 365's built-in filtering enough?
It catches a lot, but the default settings are not as strict as they could be. We review and tighten them, and on the Managed and Complete plans add extra email security and phishing filtering.
Can someone really send email as us?
Without DMARC at a strict policy, yes, it is surprisingly easy. Once the policy is enforced, most receiving mail systems will refuse those forged messages.
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.
