EasyDMARC partners with Commercial Networks to Enhance Email Security

Confused by Email Security Jargon? Let’s Talk About EasyDMARC

Information technology is full of jargon. If you’ve ever found yourself Googling acronyms mid-email thread, you’re not alone. Between SPF, DKIM, MFA and DMARC, it can feel like you’re trying to crack a code instead of securing your business. But don’t worry, we’re here to make it easy.

In this post, we’ll explain what DMARC is (in plain English), why it’s important, and how our new partnership with EasyDMARC helps you protect your business from email-based cyber threats.

The Bottleneck: Phishing Emails Are Winning

Let’s start with the problem. Email is still the number one attack route for cybercriminals. According to the UK Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2023, a massive 79% of UK businesses experienced phishing attacks in the last year (GOV.UK). That means nearly 4 out of 5 businesses received fraudulent emails attempting to:

Steal credentials
Trick staff into transferring money
Infect systems with ransomware
Impersonate suppliers, partners, or even the CEO

And the reason these attacks work so well? Most businesses haven’t implemented basic email authentication protocols like DMARC.

The Breakthrough: So, What Is DMARC?

Let’s demystify it. DMARC stands for Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance. That sounds heavy, but here’s the simple explanation:

DMARC is like a digital gatekeeper for your email domain. It ensures that only authorised servers can send emails on your behalf. If a hacker tries to send an email pretending to be you (a process called spoofing), DMARC steps in and says, “Nope, you’re not on the list.”

Without DMARC, anyone can forge your email address and start sending phishing emails that appear to come from you. That damages your brand, risks data breaches, and exposes your clients and team to threats.

With DMARC in place, you:

✅ Block unauthorised emails pretending to be from your domain
✅ Improve email deliverability by building sender trust
✅ Get visibility into who’s using your domain and how
✅ Reduce the chance of ending up in spam folders

Why This Matters for You

If you’re using Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, you might assume email security is all sorted, but without proper DMARC, SPF, and DKIM policies, you’re still vulnerable. Even worse, you might not even know it’s happening.

We’ve seen real-world cases where spoofed emails caused:

Wire fraud worth thousands of pounds
Internal phishing attacks from “HR” requesting payslip logins
Spoofed supplier invoices getting paid to the wrong account

If you send emails to clients, suppliers, or staff, you need DMARC.
