Most businesses don't get hacked. They get robbed.
The most common way businesses lose money is a single convincing email, a scam known as business email compromise. Our email security stops it before it reaches your team, and protects everything behind it.
Quick note before this week's payment: our bank has changed. Please pay invoice #4827 to our new account today2 so there's no late fee.
New account for all future payments: Acct ending 00923
Thanks, Mark
Looks normal. It isn't.
1Look-alike address. That's a capital I, not an l.
2Pressure to pay now, so nobody stops to check.
3New bank details by email, the move that makes the money disappear.

How the theft actually happens
Security teams call it an adversary-in-the-middle attack, and it's one of the most common ways businesses lose money today. Every step is quiet, and every step is a chance to stop it.
Why MFA doesn't stop it. MFA protects the moment you sign in. This attack steals what comes after: the pass that keeps you signed in. Once criminals have it, your password and MFA never come up again.
What the criminal doesWhere we stop it
1
A convincing sign-in email arrives
“You have a shared document waiting.” The link opens what looks exactly like your normal Microsoft 365 or Google sign-in page.
Email protectionflags the phishing link before it ever reaches the inbox.
2
They sign in, MFA and all
The fake page quietly passes everything to the real sign-in page, including the MFA code or approval. The sign-in works, so nothing seems wrong.
Team trainingteaches your team to spot sign-in requests that don't belong.
3
Their session gets stolen
The fake page keeps the “you're signed in” pass the real site hands back. The criminal uses it from their own computer, no password or MFA needed.
Account takeover protectionspots a session being used from somewhere it shouldn't be and shuts it down.
4
They move in quietly
They read the mailbox for weeks, learning who you pay, and set up hidden rules that forward or bury the emails that would give them away.
Account takeover protectionwatches for tell-tale signs like hidden forwarding rules.
5
“Our bank details have changed”
When a real invoice comes in, new payment instructions follow from the hijacked mailbox or a look-alike address. It reads like every other email from that vendor.
Email protection + team trainingcatches look-alike and impersonation emails, and your team knows to confirm bank changes by phone.

The money is gone
The payment goes out. By the time anyone notices, the money has usually been moved beyond reach.

Five layers of protection, email first
Our cybersecurity starts with the inbox. Every layer works on Mac and PC alike, and each one covers the gap the others can't.
Where the money gets stolen
Email Protection
It gets the most layers, because it's the front door. Every message is checked before it reaches your team, your email account's security settings are locked down the right way, and your domain is protected so criminals can't send email pretending to be you.
Phishing and spam stopped before the inbox
Fake invoices and impersonation caught
Your domain locked against spoofing
Email security settings hardened
MFA set up on every account
Every mailbox backed up
Account Takeover Protection
If a login does get stolen, even one protected by MFA, we spot the break-in and shut it down, and give your team a password manager so logins are strong and never reused.
Stolen session alerts
Password manager
Device Protection
Every Mac and PC is watched around the clock for malware and ransomware, with anything suspicious stopped and investigated.

Team Training
Short, regular lessons and practice phishing emails, so your team spots a scam when they see one and knows to call before changing bank details.

Backup & Recovery
Your files are backed up automatically and tested, so ransomware or a dead laptop means a restore, not a ransom.

Email security, answered
Still have a question? Talk to our team. Just an authentic conversation, no pitch.
Business email compromise (BEC) is when a criminal breaks into, or convincingly imitates, a real email account at your company or one of your vendors, then uses it to trick someone into paying a fake invoice, changing bank details, or sending sensitive information. There's usually no virus involved, which is why ordinary spam filters miss it, and it's consistently one of the costliest types of cybercrime reported to the FBI.
Doesn't Microsoft 365 or Google already filter our email?
Both filter a lot, but the scams that cost businesses money are built to slip past them. A fake invoice with no link or attachment often looks harmless to a basic filter. We add a second layer that checks every message after their built-in filtering, and we tighten your email platform's own security settings, many of which aren't turned on by default.
Do I need to be in Minneapolis or Northwest Arkansas to work with you?
No. Our offices are in Minneapolis and Northwest Arkansas, and we protect businesses in other states across the US. Email security, account protection, and monitoring are all set up and run remotely, so you get the same protection wherever your team works.
We already have MFA. Aren't we protected?
MFA is essential, and you should keep it on, but it isn't enough on its own anymore. Today's most common attacks use a fake sign-in page that passes your MFA through to the real one, then steal the session that keeps you signed in. That's why we protect the inbox, watch for stolen sessions, and train your team, instead of relying on any one layer.
Can criminals send email pretending to be from our company?
They can try. We set up your domain's email authentication, the records known as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, so other mail servers can tell real email from your company apart from forgeries and reject the fakes. It protects your customers and vendors from scams sent in your name.
We use Macs. Do we still need this?
Yes. Email scams don't care what computer you use. A fake invoice works just as well on a Mac as on a PC, and Macs can still be targeted by malware. We protect both, alongside our Mac IT support and Windows and Mac IT support.
What happens if someone on our team clicks a bad link?
It happens, and it's exactly why we protect more than the inbox. If a password gets stolen, account protection watches for the break-in, and device protection watches for anything malicious trying to run. Tell us right away and we'll take it from there.
Is our email backed up?
Yes. Neither Microsoft 365 nor Google Workspace is designed to be your backup, so we back up every mailbox separately. A deleted email, a ransomware attack, or a departed employee's mailbox can be restored.
Do you protect Google Workspace too?
Yes. Our email protection works with both Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
