They bring together thousands of senders, vendors, and operators in a common effort to build DMARC into the email ecosystem. By staying focused on its mission, dmarcian is able to continue to discover the challenges that everyone faces while deploying DMARC and help make the process as easy as possible.
Best in Class Tooling
dmarcian was formed at the birth of DMARC, offering the first public tooling to help people understand and deploy the control effectively. They created dmarc.io as a free, comprehensive listing of sources (any entity that can send email on behalf of a domain), and their capabilities to support DMARC, DKIM and SPF. Such clarity allows for deployment without disrupting an organization’s most vital business resource—their email.
Their powerful SaaS platform takes reports generated by DMARC and enhances them with its powerful source-classification engine, giving clear insight and actionable steps for a smooth deployment. The DMARC Management Platform offers extensive alerting and reporting so organizations are able to keep their domain catalogs safe and to efficiently deploy new email-based services.
