Setting The Stage
Awdry Law is a distinguished UK-based legal firm with a rich heritage tracing back to the 1700s. Specialising in both individual and business law, Awdry Law boasts a dedicated team of over 100 professionals and serves a vast clientele across various UK regions.
The Challange
In an era where digital communication is paramount, Awdry Law found itself grappling with a concerning email security issue. Their domain validation framework was severely under-equipped to ensure the authenticity and integrity of their emails. This shortcoming posed a multitude of challenges:
Awdry Law's digital communication faced significant vulnerabilities:
- Phishing Susceptibility: Their system was open to numerous phishing and spoofing attacks, endangering confidential legal communications.
- Domain Impersonation: Malicious entities could easily send emails using Awdry Law's domain, jeopardising the firm's credibility.
- Reputation Risks: Unauthenticated emails threatened the firm's longstanding trust with clients and potential partners.
- Undefined Authorised Senders: Without specified servers for sending, email authenticity was always in question.
- Operational Strains: The IT team was frequently side tracked by issues related to unverified emails, hindering their core tasks.
The Solution
Recognising the urgency of this security gap, Awdry Law collaborated with Hypr Secure. On Hypr Secure's recommendation, Awdry Law adopted DMARC along with an SPF record to validate and secure their email sending servers. Furthermore, Hypr-Secure, in partnership with a trusted DMARC provider, ensured robust security for Awdry Law's email domain.
The Benefits
With the integration of DMARC, Awdry Law has fortified its email environment against malicious threats, ensuring enhanced protection against phishing and spoofing attacks. Here's a deeper dive into the advantages they now enjoy:
- Brand Protection: DMARC prevents misuse of Awdry Law's domain, safeguarding the company's reputation.
- Enhanced Email Control: Awdry Law strictly determines who can send emails on its behalf, reducing deceptive communications.
- Selective Acceptance: With SPF validation, only emails from approved IP addresses are received.
- Real-time Monitoring: Instant visibility into domain health via a dedicated dashboard.
- Boosted Trust: Authenticity assurance strengthens confidence in Awdry Law’s communications.
- Cost-Effective: Prevents potential financial losses from phishing and secures client trust.
