EMAIL SECURITY
Protect Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace against business email compromise, supplier impersonation, account takeover and advanced phishing. We compare the leading platforms, recommend the right fit, deploy it properly and support it from day one.
The problem
The filtering built into Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace catches a lot. It also misses the things that lose you money: targeted social engineering, supplier compromise, and threats that carry no malware or links at all.
Blocks known malware and malicious attachments. Filters bulk spam and phishing with known-bad indicators. Rewrites suspect links and sandboxes attachments on higher tiers. Integrates natively with the platform and reports through its own console.
Business email compromise with no payload, just a convincing message asking finance to wire money. Supplier impersonation from a legitimately compromised mailbox with a real correspondence history. Adversary-in-the-middle kits that bypass MFA in real time. Novel vectors like quishing and link-via-redirect chains that rotate faster than reputation databases update.
What we cover
Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace have different native security postures, different gaps, and different product fits. We know both environments and deploy into both.
Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive
The most common environment. Defender is a solid starting point. The question is what layers on top to cover the gaps that cost you money. We match the product to your actual threat profile.
Gmail, Drive, Meet, Chat
Workspace's built-in protections are stronger than Defender's in some areas, weaker in others. Different product set, same threat questions. We walk through what changes and which vendors deploy cleanly into Workspace.

We treat email security as an engineering problem, not a procurement event. The first call is with an engineer, the deployment is hands-on, and the support is the same person who scoped it.
Start with a 30-minute call with one of our email security engineers. We’ll review your environment, existing licensing and incident history, then shortlist two or three suitable products and explain which one we would choose-and why.
Trial in your environment with policies tuned to your actual traffic, not factory defaults. We run the integration, configure the rules, and review the false-positive queue with you before go-live.
Same engineer answers questions post go-live. Policy reviews quarterly. Threat-landscape briefings when something material changes. Renewal pricing fought on your behalf.
How we pick
Different environments need different products. Here's the rough decision tree we walk through on the first call.
Defender Plan 1 plus a layered third-party tool is often the right answer. You don’t always need Plan 2. We’ll tell you which products layer cleanly on top of M365 without conflicting with Defender’s enforcement policies.
Behavioural analysis is non-negotiable. Tools that rely only on link-and-attachment scanning will miss the supplier impersonation that loses you six figures. We weight this heavily in every recommendation we make.
Incident response first, deployment second. We’ll point you to a DFIR partner if needed, then design the deployment around the specific gaps the incident exposed — not a generic best-practice baseline.
We’ll tell you on the call. Our recommendation follows your environment, not the assumption you walked in with. We’ve moved customers from Proofpoint to Abnormal and the other way around. The honest answer is worth more than the easy sale.
We’ll tell you. For some small teams already on M365 E5 with strong configuration and limited BEC exposure, you don’t need a third-party tool. We’d rather you save the money than have us oversell you.
Different product set, different gaps. Workspace’s built-in protections are stronger than Defender’s in some areas and weaker in others. Not all email security vendors deploy cleanly into Workspace — we’ll walk through what changes and which products actually fit.
