Making Messaging Security successful requires more than just implementing new technologies—it demands a fundamental shift in security culture, architecture, and operations.
The concept of Messaging Security addresses concerns around communication and data sharing by any user, from any device, in any location, at any time.
Where once it was sufficient to assume that messages within the corporate network were safe, modern-day challenges such as cloud-based
communication, remote working, and advanced phishing or impersonation threats mean that the boundaries are no longer clearly defined.
Instead of assuming that messages, users, or devices inside the organisation are trustworthy, Messaging Security treats every message as potentially risky—applying inspection, classification, and compliance controls regardless of its source or destination.
What are the
perceived challenges?
We understand that implementing a robust Messaging Security framework can be challenging due to its complexity and the organisational change it requires.

We understand that implementing a robust Messaging Security framework can be challenging due to its complexity and the organisational change it requires.
Some of the known challenges you might be facing include:
Heading
Complexity:
Fragmented communication environments require integration of legacy and modern platforms, leading to time-consuming deployments
Heading
Resistance to change:
Cultural pushback from employees and the need for leadership buy-in
Heading
Performance impact:
Potential delays in message delivery or user friction if security controls aren’t tuned correctly
Heading
Policy definition & management:
Policies need to adapt dynamically as threats evolve and compliance requirements change
Heading
Compliance & legal:
The need to embrace complex legal regulations & regulatory compliance frameworks
Heading
Technology confusion:
An overwhelming number of vendors and overlapping tools requiring significant upfront and ongoing investment
Lost somewhere in the middle of these challenges is the key to successful Messaging Security: Policy Management. Its critical importance is often overlooked and lost in all the noise. Our job is to raise its profile.
Making Messaging Security & Compliance simple
It's all about policy
Zero Trust is not a tooling conversation, and it isn't complicated. Tooling provides access to the data but tooling doesn't protect it. Policy does.
Messaging Security & Compliance is not a tooling conversation, and it isn’t complicated. Tools enable protection, but policy defines it.
Policy is central to Messaging Security because it sets the rules and logic that govern how messages are sent, received, and retained—it turns the security philosophy into operational control.
These policies dictate who can send or receive what messages, under which conditions, and using what security methods. They include factors like sender and recipient identity, message content, sensitivity, time, and context.
Without well-defined policies, a Messaging Security framework cannot enforce consistent, dynamic, and compliant protections.
Strong Messaging Security policies will enhance user experience by allowing seamless, secure communication without intrusive barriers—delivering both productivity and peace of mind.
Just like DLP, Messaging Security & Compliance is not a tooling conversation. Messaging Security without policy is like a courtroom without laws—there’s no framework for making decisions. If the underlying policy is wrong, even the best tools in the world won’t be fit for purpose.
How we help
We know what successful Messaging Security & Compliance looks like
We ensure that your messaging policies are adaptive and aligned to your business goals—and flexible enough to remain effective over time.
Many projects fail because policies are well-defined at launch but not maintained as threats and technologies evolve. We make sure yours are built to last.
It doesn't matter where you are in your implementation:
- We can take your existing set up and fully optimise it, or
- You can buy the tooling from us and then we can build, optimise and operate it long term for you.
We're vendor-agnostic and everything we do not only augments Microsoft 365 and your messaging platforms but also fully supports your data protection and compliance obligations.
Our work focuses on 3 main outcomes:
- No adverse impact on users
- No significant headache for IT to manage
- No data breaches or compliance violations
As a trusted partner we will help you accelerate success by offering end-to-end Messaging Security & Compliance expertise: from planning and implementation to optimisation and support—empowering you to build a secure, resilient communication environment.

The relationship between
Messaging Security & Compliance, DLP & Policy Management
The focus of DLP is to control the sensitive data that leaves your organisation, while Messaging Security & Compliance extends that control to the communication channels themselves.
Where Messaging Security analyses identity, message context, and delivery mechanisms to protect communications in real time, DLP uses content and classification rules to govern how data is shared after access has been granted.
Messaging Security enforces how communications occur, while DLP enforces how data is used and protected after the fact.
Here’s what’s really important: both are only as successful as the policy framework underpinning them.
Typically, Messaging Security is owned by your Compliance or IT Security Team, and DLP by your Information Protection Team—but both are part of the same picture.
We bring DLP (on-premises and cloud) and Messaging Security under a single policy framework providing a common language and unified foundation—eliminating operational silos.
We're here to provide you with help, support and add value at every stage within this process.
One framework for everything. Simple.
