Top 5 reasons to implement DMARC

DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance) is an email authentication protocol that is designed to give email domain owners the ability to protect their domain from unauthorised use, commonly known as email spoofing.

It allows a domain owner to publish a policy in their DNS records that specifies which mechanism(s) an Email Service Provider (ESP) should use to authenticate email messages sent from their domain, and what to do if a message fails authentication. DMARC also provides a reporting mechanism that allows domain owners to receive feedback about messages that pass and fail DMARC evaluation at ESPs.

The top 5 reasons to implement DMARC are:-

  1. To provide protection against email spoofing:
    DMARC allows domain owners to protect their domain from unauthorised use, which is commonly known as email spoofing. This can help protect against phishing and other types of malicious emails that may use the domain owner’s name or reputation to trick recipients.
  2. Improved email deliverability:
    By implementing DMARC, domain owners can ensure that legitimate emails sent from their domain are more likely to be delivered to recipients’ inboxes. This is because DMARC allows domain owners to specify which mechanisms an Email Service Provider (ESP) should use to authenticate email messages.
  3. Increased visibility into email usage:
    DMARC provides a reporting mechanism that allows domain owners to receive feedback about messages that pass and fail DMARC evaluation at ESPs. This can help domain owners gain insight into how their domain is being used and identify any potential issues that may need to be addressed.
  4. Compliance with industry standards:
    DMARC is an industry standard and is widely supported by major email service providers, including Google and Microsoft 365. Implementing DMARC can help organisations comply with security and regulatory requirements, as well as demonstrate their commitment to protecting their customers’ data.
  5. Better alignment with other email authentication protocols:
    DMARC works in conjunction with other email authentication protocols such as SPF (Sender Policy Framework) and DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) to provide a more comprehensive email authentication solution. Implementing DMARC can help organizations better align their email authentication efforts and improve overall email security.
