 Email communication today contains vital information for any company. Most companies believe that a firewall or a secure server will make their email and communication structure safe and for their eyes only.
They couldnt be more wrong...
If your company name is misspelled or if the sender of an email by accident hits the wrong letter on the keyboard, the email intended for your company will end up in someone elses hands. It is of no importance if your name is written in front of the @ sign or if the sender writes to Donald Duck. The email will be delivered to the email-address domain owner.
So if you deliver vital engine parts to a well-known car producer and want to email him that there is a mistake in the new engine plans, which email from these will then end up in his email box?

All emails we receive over these accounts will be forwarded to you. We will also provide you a tracking list of visitors in geographical order. At the end of the 3 month period, we will give you a written Audit report overview describing your risk level and potential measures to be taken to minimize the risk.
