Email security & deliverability in Pukekohe
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 Pukekohe. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Email security & deliverability for Pukekohe businesses
Pukekohe is the main town of Auckland's southern rural area, surrounded by some of the country's most productive vegetable growing land, with horticulture, food packing, rural services, transport, retail and professional firms in the town centre. Many local businesses are family-owned and seasonal.
Growers and packhouses need networks that reach sheds, coolstores and offices spread across a property, and connectivity outside town can mean fixed wireless or satellite. Seasonal staff mean accounts and devices are added and removed in waves, so onboarding and offboarding need to be quick and secure.
Two email problems come up again and again. The first is incoming: a convincing message that looks like it came from a supplier, a courier or the managing director lands in someone's inbox and asks them to sign in, open a file or change bank details. The second is outgoing: your quotes and invoices go to clients' junk folders, or a criminal sends mail that appears to come from your own address.
Our Auckland technicians make planned trips to Pukekohe and the surrounding rural area for network, connectivity and computer work, with everyday help provided remotely. Rural jobs are surveyed and quoted first.
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.
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.
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.
Is it right for your Pukekohe 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 Pukekohe: questions
Can you link our packhouse, coolstore and office on one network?
Yes. Depending on distances, we use outdoor-rated cable, fibre or point-to-point wireless links, then set up Wi-Fi where staff need it. All of it is low-voltage work, quoted in writing after a site visit.
We hire seasonal staff every year. How do we manage their accounts?
We set up a simple process to create accounts with only the access they need, and remove them at the end of the season. Shared devices can be locked down so seasonal staff only see the apps they use.
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.
How long does it take to set up?
Filtering and records are usually set in a day or two. Moving DMARC to full enforcement normally takes a few weeks of watching reports, so nothing legitimate is caught.
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.
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.
