Email Security & Domain Protection | Don’t Let a Fake Domain Fake Your Coverage
Underwriters won't just askDo you filter your email?
They dig deeper:
👉Can you prove your domain is protected with advanced email filters and strong DMARC enforcement to stop spoofing and phishing attacks?
Real-World Case (2025):
A mid-sized Ontario construction firm was hit by a Business Email Compromise (BEC) scam. Fraudsters spoofed the CFO’s domain by changing just one character and tricked accounting into wiring $850,000 to a fake vendor. The company had not enforced DMARC with p=reject, making it easy for the fake email to bypass checks. That single gap enabled a costly loss and put their insurance coverage at risk.
With gaps in email security, the denial risk rises to Medium–High.
✅ Mini-Checklist to Fortify Your Email Defenses:
Use advanced email filtering and anti-phishing policies (e.g., Secure Email Gateway, Microsoft Defender)
Enforce SPF, DKIM, and strict DMARC (p=reject)
Enable BEC protection to block suspicious payment requests
Keep exports/screenshots of filter rules, email gateway configs, and DNS records
Don’t let a spoofed domain derail your claim.
