Enhancing Email Security with DMARC Implementation

Email spoofing and phishing attacks threaten organisations' reputations and security. With new mandates this year from Google and Yahoo, implementing DMARC is crucial. Inde Technology's partnership with dmarcian enables us to provide comprehensive DMARC solutions, improving email security, deliverability, and reducing phishing risks.

A major challenge faced by many organisations is the increased incidence of email spoofing and phishing attacks. Email domains with inadequate security policies are highly vulnerable to these threats. For instance, spammers can easily spoof an organisation's email address, sending out phishing emails that appear to come from a legitimate source. This not only jeopardises the organisation's reputation but also poses significant risks to their clients.

The implementation of DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance) has become crucial, especially with recent announcements from Google and Yahoo. Since February 2024, both providers have started to enforce stricter requirements for bulk senders, necessitating DMARC policies to ensure email deliverability and security.

How can Inde help?

Inde has partnered with dmarcian, a leading platform in DMARC management, to help customers implement robust DMARC policies. dmarcian, founded by DMARC, provides tools and insights that facilitate the deployment and monitoring of DMARC. The platform aids in visualising the DMARC reporting process and offers actionable insights to ensure compliance and enhance email security. 

Inde works with your team and provides the following services:

1. Assessment and Setup

• Inde Technology conducts an initial assessment of your email domains to determine your current DMARC compliance status.
• Utilising dmarcian's platform to analyse SPF (Sender Policy Framework) and DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) records, we’ll check to ensure that they are correctly configured.
  
  

• Establishing a DMARC policy tailored to your needs, Inde will specify how receiving email servers should handle emails that fail DMARC checks (e.g. quarantine or reject).
• Inde will provide continuous monitoring and adjustment of DMARC policies based on the reports generated.
  
  

• Offering regular updates and recommendations to maintain and improve email security, Inde will ensure that all bulk email senders, including third-party providers like Constant Contact and Mailchimp, adhere to the organisation's DMARC policy.
