Most small businesses are missing basic email protection.
In October 2026 I checked the public email settings of 10 Australian small businesses: accountants, lawyers, dentists, recruiters and online shops. Eight had nothing stopping scammers sending fake emails in their name.
That can mean your real invoices and quotes land in spam, or your customers receive a fake invoice that looks exactly like it came from you.
Three settings that prove your emails are really yours.
Every email that claims to be from your business goes through the same three checks. Yours pass. Fakes don't.
Names the services allowed to send email for your business. Everyone else looks suspicious.

Free check
I look at your domain's public settings and tell you what I find, in plain English.
Fix
With your written permission, I set everything up, or guide you while you make the changes yourself. Then I switch on protection once your real emails all pass.
Report
A clear before-and-after report, including how to undo any change.
- Optional
Monitoring
I check your reports each month, move to full blocking and fix anything new. Your emails stay private.
Simple, fixed prices.
One fixed price for the setup, and an optional monthly plan. No hidden costs.
Email security setup
- SPF, DKIM and DMARC set up and tested for one domain
- Monitoring for 4 to 6 weeks, then fakes switched to spam (quarantine)
- Before-and-after report, including how to undo any change
Monthly monitoring
- Move to full blocking (reject) once it is safe
- A short monthly report: who sent email in your name
- Fixes when you start using a new email tool
Private by design. Your messages are never opened, read or stored. Monitoring only checks whether they pass security.
