Sometimes we are asked what the cost of our services are, and when given the annual price, there's often some teeth sucking and a reply of "That's not in the budget - Maybe next year".
Let's start with some selected stats
Worrying stuff…
Now let's explore the cost of protection.
That's right. Our top tier mail protection platform works out to just 0.22 USD/user/day. That includes full DMARC, SPF, DKIM and MTA-STS configuration, M365/GWS Tenant security configuration, Basic DMARC/DKIM/SPF reporting, Mail Filtering for phishing & malware with zero retention, DNS record monitoring, and immutable backup of your M365 or GWS tenant with full data sovereignty.
The silver tier is even cheaper at less than 0.14 USD/user/day (excludes the backup component)
