Managed Email & Workspace Security

Email security that catches what your filters miss

Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace stop the obvious threats. We handle the last mile: targeted phishing, business email compromise, and the account takeovers that follow.

Your built-in filters get you most of the way there

Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace both ship with genuinely capable security. They block spam, known malware, and the mass phishing campaigns that used to fill your users' inboxes. That foundation is real, and we are not here to replace it.

The problem is what is designed to slip past it. Today's attacks are built specifically to survive native filtering: lookalike domains, executive impersonation, hijacked reply threads, QR codes that route around URL scanning, and social engineering written well enough to pass a second read. There is no attachment to detonate and no malicious link to flag. Just a convincing message asking someone to move money or hand over a password.

Meanwhile, the settings that would help are scattered across several admin consoles, and the alerts that do fire land in a queue nobody has time to work.

That last mile is where we come in.

Five layers. One managed service.

Block sophisticated email attacks

We layer behavioral analysis and current threat intelligence on top of your native filters, reading signals a traditional gateway never sees: whether this sender has ever emailed this recipient before, whether the reply-to address quietly changed mid-thread, whether the request matches how your business actually operates. Business email compromise, spear phishing, vendor impersonation, and QR code attacks are stopped before they reach a person. And when a threat is confirmed in one mailbox, it is pulled from every mailbox it reached.

Phishing reported by your users is triaged automatically: reviewed, decided, and remediated, instead of sitting in a shared inbox waiting for someone to have a free hour.

Close the OAuth back door

Every third-party app and AI assistant your users connect to email or file storage is a standing grant of access, and most were approved by an employee rather than by IT. Those permissions accumulate quietly, they do not expire, and a token issued to a tool nobody has opened in a year is still a live door into your data. We inventory every connected app, judge risk on what the app actually does with your data rather than what it asked for at sign-up, and revoke the grants that should not exist.

The point is not to say no to new tools. It is to be able to say yes, because you can see what they are touching.

Protect the sensitive data already sitting in mailboxes and files

Ask most organizations where their sensitive data lives and the honest answer is "everywhere." Years of invoices, contracts, W-2s, customer records, and password-reset emails pile up in mailboxes, while file storage fills with documents shared to "anyone with the link" during a project that ended two years ago. We scan the actual contents of mail and files, classify what is sensitive (personal information, financial records, health data, or criteria specific to your industry), and then act on it: putting sensitive content behind re-authentication, tightening over-broad sharing, and making sure the AI tools connected to your workspace inherit the same limits your people have.

Contain account takeovers without locking out the business

A stolen password looks exactly like a legitimate login. Detecting the compromise and killing the session is the baseline. The harder problem is what an attacker reaches in the minutes before anyone notices. We watch for behavioral signals across mail and file activity, not just impossible-travel logins, and we shrink the blast radius ahead of time, so the most sensitive messages and your password-reset flows stay protected even from a session that is already authenticated.

One compromised mailbox stays one compromised mailbox, instead of becoming a breach notification.

Operationalize your security posture

Your workspace has hundreds of security settings spread across several consoles, and every one of them drifts. An admin loosens a policy for a project. A new user is provisioned outside the standard group. A temporary exception quietly becomes permanent. We monitor your configuration against a documented baseline, flag drift with the context needed to fix it, and keep a record of what changed and when.

Fewer surprises at your next audit, cyber-insurance renewal, or client security questionnaire.

Where this makes the biggest difference

Lean IT teams

The challenge

Too much surface area and too few hours. Triaging reported phishing, reviewing app permissions, scoping access after an incident: none of it scales, and all of it is table stakes.

What we do

We take the manual work off your plate and automate it. Reported emails are reviewed and acted on without a ticket. If an account looks compromised, the blast radius is mapped immediately, with the audit trail already assembled. You get mature security operations without adding headcount.

Safe AI adoption

The challenge

Every AI assistant connected to your workspace can read company data, and most of those connections were made by an employee who just wanted to get work done. Blocking all of them is not realistic, because people route around it.

What we do

We give you visibility into which AI and third-party tools are connected, what data they can actually reach, and what they are doing with it. Risky connections are flagged and revoked. The useful ones stay. You get to enable AI rather than ban it.

Workspace sprawl

The challenge

Your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant today looks nothing like the one you set up years ago. Data has piled up, sharing has drifted, and the settings that govern all of it live in separate consoles.

What we do

We give you the full picture: what sensitive data exists, who can reach it, and where access has drifted from intent. Then we fix it before it becomes an incident, rather than after.

No MX record changes. No agents. No disruption.

We connect through the security APIs your email platform already provides, which means your mail flow does not change and neither does anything your users see. There is no DNS cutover to schedule, no software to push to endpoints, and no risky Friday-night migration window.

  • Deploys in hours, not weeks, because nothing is rerouted through a new gateway
  • Runs alongside your existing secure email gateway or filtering service, so there is no rip-and-replace
  • Zero change to the end-user experience: no new client, plugin, or extra login step
  • Covers both Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace
  • Fully managed by our team, with reporting you can hand to leadership or an auditor

"Built-in controls" reflects what is typically included in standard Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace business plans. Exact coverage varies by license tier, and we will map your specific plan during the assessment.

Straight answers

Do we have to change our MX records or install software?

No. We connect through your email platform's security APIs, so your mail keeps flowing exactly as it does today. There is no DNS change, nothing to install on workstations, and no interruption to your users during rollout.

Does this replace Microsoft Defender or Google's built-in protection?

No, and it should not. Microsoft and Google have invested heavily in their native security, and it is a genuine foundation. We build on top of it. What we add is the depth those controls were never designed for: detecting targeted social engineering, classifying data at the content level, containing compromised accounts, and monitoring connected apps. You keep everything your license already gives you.

Can this run alongside the email security vendor we already use?

Yes. Because we deploy through APIs rather than as a mail gateway, there is no conflict with a gateway or filtering service you already have. Plenty of organizations start with both running in parallel, compare what each one catches, and consolidate once they have seen the results.

What about sensitive data in file storage, not just email?

It is covered. We scan the contents of files, not just names and metadata, for personal information, financial and health records, and any criteria specific to your industry. From there we flag risky sharing settings, surface files exposed outside your organization, and can revoke access when something looks wrong.

Our admin console already lists the third-party apps our users connected. Is that not enough?

That list tells you what an app asked permission to do. It does not tell you what the app is actually doing: how often it reads mail, which files it touches, or whether anyone still uses it. We monitor real behavior, score risk on that basis, and remove stale, over-permissioned, or malicious connections.

How do we know it is working?

You get regular reporting: what was blocked and why, which reported emails were handled without your team touching them, where sensitive data turned up, which connections were revoked, and how your configuration changed. It is written to be handed straight to leadership, an auditor, or a client's security questionnaire.

Let's find out what is getting through

We will review your current email security posture: what your existing licenses already cover, where the gaps are, and what is reaching your users today. No obligation, and the findings are yours either way.
