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

  • 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
