What is an email security assessment?
Email is still the number one way into an organisation, so an email security assessment is a structured read of how well you are protected against the threats that arrive that way: phishing and business email compromise, malware, account takeover, data leaving the business, and the human behaviour behind most incidents. It scores where you stand and shows the gaps worth closing, before you spend on new controls. The free assessment above is the fast first step, an instant, personalised analysis across six areas of email and collaboration security, with no sign up wall in front of the result.
It is vendor neutral by design. It tells you honestly where your email security is strong and where it is exposed, including where the controls you already own, such as those in Microsoft 365, may be enough. C4C is an accredited UK Mimecast partner, but the assessment recommends what fits your risk, not what we sell. If a deeper email security audit is warranted, it will say so.
Email security assessment: frequently asked questions
What is an email security assessment?
A structured check of how well your organisation is protected against the threats that arrive by email and through collaboration tools: phishing and business email compromise, malware, account takeover, data loss, and the human behaviour behind most incidents. A good assessment scores where you stand across those areas and shows the gaps worth closing, before you spend on new controls.
How do I assess my email security?
Look beyond the mail filter. Check your coverage against phishing and business email compromise, whether multi factor and account protection are fully enabled, how collaboration tools like Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive are secured, what happens to data leaving the organisation, and how your people are trained and tested. Our free assessment walks you through it and returns an instant, personalised analysis across six areas.
Is the email security assessment really free and vendor neutral?
Yes to both. There is no charge and no obligation, and the analysis is vendor neutral: it tells you where your email security is strong and where it is exposed, including where the controls you already own, such as those in Microsoft 365, may be enough. We are an accredited Mimecast partner, but the assessment recommends what fits your risk, not what we sell.
What is the difference between an email security assessment and an audit?
In practice they overlap. An assessment is the quick, structured read of where your email and collaboration security stands and what to prioritise. A full audit goes deeper into configuration and evidence. Our free assessment is the fast first step: it gives you an instant scored analysis, and if a deeper review is warranted we will tell you.
Do I need a dedicated email security tool, or is Microsoft enough?
It depends on your risk and how far you have enabled what you already own. For some Microsoft native organisations the included controls, properly configured, are enough. For others a dedicated layer earns its place against modern phishing and business email compromise. The assessment helps you see which camp you are in before you spend.
