Frequently asked questions

Is C4C Group an official Mimecast partner?

Yes. C4C Group is an official Mimecast partner, so we can source, implement and support Mimecast for you, not only advise on it. The partnership is genuine and active, which means you get one accountable team for the technology, the rollout and the commercials.

Can you be an official Mimecast partner and still give independent advice?

Yes, and the two work together. We hold official partnerships across many vendors rather than being tied to one, so we recommend what genuinely fits your needs and tell you honestly when Mimecast is not the right answer. Our independence is in the recommendation, our partnership is in the delivery and support.

Do you only recommend the vendors you partner with?

No. We partner with technologies we have tested and trust, but we stay vendor neutral. If something outside our partnerships is the better fit for you, including the controls built into Microsoft 365, we will say so. A C4C recommendation is based on your needs and your numbers, not on a quota.

What does Mimecast cover beyond email security?

Mimecast has grown into a human risk management platform. Alongside email security it covers security awareness training, collaboration security for Microsoft Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive, and insider risk, with a focus on the small group of high risk users behind most incidents. We help you decide which parts genuinely fit your environment rather than deploying the whole suite by default.

How do we know Mimecast is right for us rather than the built in Microsoft controls?

It depends on your risk, your estate 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. We assess that honestly, and our free assessments are a no signup way to see where you stand before you spend.
