ABOUT

Topsec DMARC Protection is a robust email security solution against hackers misusing your domain

Domain-Based Message Authentication Reporting, more often known as DMARC, is an email security protocol that checks if the email sent to you is sent by the authentic owner of that email address or not.

It is based on the Domain Naming System (DNS) practise and utilises the open protocols of SPF and DKIM to verify the email sender’s authenticity. The DNS serves as a naming database that helps verify Internet domain names according to their corresponding Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.

The email you receive is cross-checked through the DNS system to ensure the sender’s IP address and internet domain names are aligned.

When DMARC notices a difference between the email sender and the actual email address, it will automatically initiate a process that notifies the email receiver about the doubtful mail.

The email security system will also provide a report to the original email address holder to verify whether they sent the mail or if anyone else is misusing it.

DMARC helps companies maintain brand trust among each other by diminishing the threat carried by non-validated and fraudulent emails.

Outsmart cybercriminals and keep your email security tightened with Topsec Dmarc Protection.

BENEFITS

Enhanced Brand Reputation

DMARC protocol protects the brand name from being misused by cybercriminals for malicious email activities by filtering out fake email domains.

Comprehensive Cyber Threat Assessment

DMARC helps organisations keep track of all third parties who send emails on their behalf to ensure compliance with security best practices.

Email Spoofing Prevention

DMARC email detection prevents organisations’ domains from being used for spoofing attacks by spammers. We at TopSec use SPF and DKIM in combination with DMARC to achieve this.

Increased Email Delivery

Email enhancements define DMARC as it ensures that emails sent by a specific company are authentic, thus increasing the chances of the emails reaching inboxes and reducing the possibility of them being marked as spam.

Domain Visibility

DMARC reporting system provides detailed reports on how email domains are used across the internet, helping organisations optimise their email communications.

Prompt Notifications

DMARC allows organisations to be aware of the emails sent from their domain. It provides instant notifications if an unauthenticated email has been sent from their address.

Security

DMARC helps deal with security threats such as spam, phishing, and spoofing, with receiving email systems being told what to do when they receive unvalidated emails and mailbox providers rejecting unauthenticated emails.

Reduced Email Bouncing

DMARC’s email verification helps understand different statuses of email addresses. It automatically excludes sending emails to addresses with low chances of email being delivered.

Reliable Database

DMARC’s email authentication helps create a reliable database that only accepts a valid email address, increasing the chances of reaching recipients.

ONBOARDING PROCESS

1.

We set up an introductory DMARC call with you to map out the journey and ensure we are on the same page with all your DMARC requirements. We then set up your Domain(s) on our DMARC Platform.

2.

We Provide to you the DMARC record that needs to be put in place in the Zone file(s) of the domain(s) which will be part of the project. From the outset the DMARC record we provide will be in a state of policy “None”. At this point we simply want to gather and observe the data coming back via reports from 3rd parties that receive email from your domain. We do enforce a strict Reject policy as this would negatively affect legitimate systems sending email on your behalf.

3.

Once the DMARC records are in place reports will start to come through to our system. This happens by virtue of the 2 email addresses contained with the DMARC record we provided. Third party systems receiving email from your domain will lookup and see your DMARC record and send reports to those email addresses.

4.

After a six week period the project will begin. We go through the data findings with the customer and begin the process of getting authorised and legitimate senders of email using the customers domain to a state of compliancy.

TESTIMONIALS

What clients say about us

We had considered a number of options when looking for a Phishing Training product, but Topsec Cloud Solutions appeared to be the only ones providing a fully managed service , effectively where they do all the work for you. With this service it allows Bishopstown Credit Union to continually train and educated our staff on the dangers of malicious emails and what to look out for when it comes to opening emails and the instructions that often are contained within. We’ve had this service in place for the past few years , the improvement in email awareness and security in general has been noticeable. The managed aspect means we don’t have to worry about scheduling campaigns , running reports, or spending time gathering analysis, Topsec do it all for us.

“The Phishing Training was particularly good. We had one campaign, and we had an extremely poor result. I think 50% of our people, opened and looked at a phishing email. We were very, shocked because it wasn’t particularly an important one. But it was a good one. It gives us an idea of how, they’re coping with unsolicited emails and phishing.

Before we had IronPort in place, and the main reason to let them go was that it was not cost-effective, and it was not providing as much flexibility and management to the spam solution. So, that was the main reason we switched over.”

We really loved the products that Topsec provided to us. If I were to pull out a product that we are particularly happy with would-be Phishing campaigns, where it creates awareness among our staff for security issues, promotes awareness, and then Topsec follow that up with training. That’s one of the standout things that Topsec offers.

The culture of response has always been good. We can guarantee that we are going to get a response, sometimes within minutes, which is, which is impressive. If we have a technical issue that we need to discuss with somebody, we always have those levels of support from first-level technicians. If you’re looking for what differentiates Topsec from its competitors that would be the primary differentiation.

DMARC Protection FAQ's

What is a DMARC Protection?

DMARC is an email authentication protocol that safeguards against email phishing and spoofing attacks. This helps the recipient’s email service provider check if the message is authorised when sent from the domain. If the email is not verified, the recipient’s service provider may block or quarantine the email based on the domain owner’s DMARC policy.

What does a DMARC Record Look Like?

A DMARC record comprises a Host/Name (like _dmarc.mxtoolbox.com) and tag-value pairs. A tag is a code, such as “p=” for policy, and the value is what informs the receiving mail server on what actions to take, like “none.”

This is how a DMARC record looks like:

How does DMARC Email Security Work?

DMARC uses DNS, DKIM, and SPF protocols to confirm the identity of email senders. It was created to prevent the threat of domain spoofing, which is when attackers use a company’s domain to pretend to be its employees.

What are the Benefits of DMARC Email Security?

DMARC is an important tool that checks if an email is really from the person or company it claims to be from. The major benefits of DMARC email security are that it protects against preventing spam, phishing attacks, and other email security risks.

Do I Need Both SPF and DMARC?

DMARC needs to verify information from both SPF and DKIM to confirm the authenticity of an email. DMARC can still approve the email if one method fails but the other one succeeds. However, DMARC not only requires SPF or DKIM to pass, but it also needs the domains used in these protocols to match the domain mentioned in the “From” address.
