Email Security

Email is a vital tool for businesses, but it can also be a target for threats like phishing, spam, and unauthorised access. That’s why I take email security seriously, ensuring your inbox and your business communications are protected at all times.

Built-In Security Features

All business email accounts I provide through Microsoft 365 come with robust security features as standard, including:

• Spam Filtering: Reducing the risk of unwanted emails clogging up your inbox.
• Antivirus Protection: Scanning attachments and links to prevent harmful content from reaching your team.
• Encryption: Ensuring that your emails are securely transmitted to protect sensitive data.

Preventing Phishing and Password Attacks

While the system itself is secure, email users are often the primary target for attacks like phishing or password breaches. That’s why I work with my clients to safeguard their accounts by:

• Promoting Vigilance: I advise clients and their teams on how to spot phishing attempts, such as fake emails that appear to be from trusted sources.
• Enforcing Strong Passwords: Encouraging the use of secure, unique passwords to minimise risks.
• Implementing Multi-Factor Authentication: Adding an extra layer of security to ensure that even if a password is guessed, the account remains protected.
• Avoiding Sensitive Information in Emails: I advise against using email for sharing passwords or other critical data. For sensitive communications, I suggest using more secure alternatives like SMS or messaging apps.

Advanced Safeguards

I also handle the technical side of email security, such as setting up:

• SPF Records: Preventing unauthorised senders from using your domain to send spoofed emails.
• DKIM and DMARC: Adding further protection to your email address and improving deliverability.

These measures operate behind the scenes, so you don’t need to worry about the details—I’ll take care of it all.
