What is DMARC and How Does It Stop Pesky Phishing Emails?

DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) – another one of those technical terms – but what is it? Well, it helps protect your domain from phishing and email fraud. Here’s how it benefits organisations:

1. Prevents Email Fraud and Phishing Attacks

By allowing only authorised senders to use your domain, DMARC blocks phishing emails from impersonating your brand, keeping your customers and employees safe.

2. Builds Trust and Protects Your Reputation

Customers are more likely to trust emails that are verified. DMARC reinforces this trust, enhancing your brand’s credibility.

3. Increases Visibility into Email Traffic

DMARC reports provide insights into legitimate and fraudulent senders using your domain, helping you track and manage email activity.

4. Improves Email Deliverability

Authenticated emails are less likely to be marked as spam, so your emails are more likely to reach the inbox.

5. Ensures Compliance with Security Standards

DMARC aligns your organisation with industry standards, lowering the risk of security breaches and compliance issues.
