-

Our Verdict

Unique angle on email security with retroactive risk reduction, but priced and sized for enterprises only.

Pros

  • Retroactive inbox scanning finds historical credential exposure
  • Redacts sensitive data in email at rest
  • Strong phishing-resistant MFA enforcement features
  • Works with existing M365 and Google Workspace deployments

Cons

  • Retroactive scanning of years of email is slow initially
  • Enterprise pricing excludes smaller organizations
  • Overlaps with features in E5 and Google enterprise plans
  • Some redaction workflows frustrate end users
Best for: Enterprises worried about historical credential leakage and executive account takeover. Not for: SMBs satisfied with native M365 or Google security and tight budgets.
