Five years of bi-coastal IT, through to acquisition
One of the largest PR agencies in New York and Santa Monica, a leader in its segment.
- Scale
- 40 employees, New York & Santa Monica
- Engagement
- 5+ years, until its acquisition by a larger firm
The challenge
Client confidentiality is the product of a PR firm; its email and files had to be secure and always available on both coasts.
A PR agency's most sensitive material is its clients' unannounced news. Email and file security were therefore treated as core to the business, and the same enterprise mail architecture used in larger deployments protected both offices.
Five years of continuous service ended only when a larger firm acquired the agency, which is the kind of transition a well-documented environment makes easier.
What our team delivered
- Email servers on our enterprise mail architecture
- Workstations, backups and security
- Full management of both offices
Result
Served continuously for more than five years, until the agency was acquired by a larger firm.

DMARC: from watching to rejecting
Share of mail claiming the domain that passes DMARC (SPF or DKIM aligned), week by week. In the monitoring phase (p=none) reports reveal forgotten senders; each one gets SPF and DKIM fixed. Quarantine sends failures to spam, reject refuses them at the receiving server. Illustrative figures.
Mail that keeps flowing
Incoming mail is authenticated and scanned before it reaches anyone, mailboxes are copied across three regions so a server failure goes unnoticed, and outgoing mail leaves signed and encrypted.
Every sign-in, verified
Staff sign in once, but behind the scenes the device, the identity, a phone approval and your access policy are all checked before any app opens, and strangers are turned away.
