Right Now, Attackers Can See
Things in Your Email Infrastructure
That You Can’t
WHY IT MATTERS
The Threat is Real -
and Increasingly Acute - Especially with AI
Email remains the primary attack vector for cyberattacks, with 55 attack categories (currently), including business email compromise, phishing, brand impersonation, and ransomware delivery. Attackers exploit gaps in email authentication to send messages that appear to come from your domain, targeting your staff, customers and partners.
These attacks succeed not because organisations lack perimeter security or antivirus, but because the DNS-based protocols that prove an email is genuinely from your domain are misconfigured, incomplete, or missing entirely. A single unprotected subdomain is often all an attacker needs.

HOW PANOTECT HELPS
Actionable Intelligence That Drives Threat Reduction
Discover what you don't know
Surface blind spots before they become attack vectors. Reveal configuration shortcomings and address limited visibility into subdomain landscape – legacy subdomains, marketing platforms, and cloud services create email-capable endpoints that often no one is actively managing.
Prioritise with confidence
With Panotect Email Threat IntelligenceTM your team knows exactly what to fix, in what order and why. Clear, scored findings eliminate guesswork and let you direct remediation effort where it will have the greatest impact first.
Reduce risk across all threat categories
Closing your email security gaps directly reduces exposure across all eight threat categories – brand impersonation, email interception, ransomware infiltration, and credential theft among them – protecting your staff, customers and partners from attacks that exploit your domain.
Track progress
Repeatable assessments let you verify that remediation has taken effect. Monitor your score over time and demonstrate continuous security improvement to stakeholders.
THE PANOTECT 20
Twenty Capabilities. One Complete Picture.
Every Panotect assessment is built on 20 distinct intelligence capabilities – 10 core findings and 10 depth extensions that together give you comprehensive visibility into your email security posture.
Business Risk, Not Technical Jargon
Translates email security gaps into quantified financial exposure – from brand impersonation to ransomware – presented in language your board can act on, not technical protocol detail.
Attack Scenario Intelligence
Links your specific security gaps to real attack techniques, with probability estimates and financial loss ranges for your organisation.
Data Sovereignty & Jurisdiction Risk
Maps where your email data flows, who can legally access it, and what that means for your regulatory obligations. Flags jurisdiction risks intelligence-sharing agreements and data residency issues that standard email checkers miss.
Infrastructure Stack Mapping
Maps every component of your email infrastructure to a named provider, region, and legal jurisdiction – then layers on jurisdiction-specific risk across extraterritorial surveillance and data protection requirements.
Full Attack Surface Discovery
Discovers every public-facing email-enabled subdomain across your entire domain – not just the one you submitted. Surfaces subdomains you may not know exist. Your security is only as strong as your weakest subdomain.
Self-Improving Discovery Engine
Discovery is informed by patterns observed across industry sectors, so each assessment benefits from accumulated intelligence relevant to your organisation type.
Shadow IT Detection
Identifies unauthorised email services – marketing platforms, free-tier tools, legacy systems – sending email on your behalf without IT approval. Flags self-service platforms that anyone in your organisation could have activated without security review.
Multi-layered Authentication Key Discovery
Goes beyond testing common selectors to surface every authorised and unauthorised sender across your domain.
Regulatory Compliance Tracking
Measures your posture against specific compliance frameworks with deadline awareness and control-by-control evaluation – not just generic best practice. Remediation is prioritised by regulatory urgency.
Dual Compliance Scoring
Every domain receives two independent assessments: a government compliance evaluation against mandated controls, and an industry best-practice score. One tells you where you must be. The other tells you where you should be.
Weakest-Link Analysis
Scores your entire domain based on your most vulnerable subdomain – because attackers only need one way in. A perfect primary domain means nothing if a forgotten subdomain is unprotected.
Role-Aware Scoring
Not every subdomain is an email server. Non-email infrastructure is identified and scored accordingly – so you get accurate compliance status, not false failures from hosts that were never meant to send email.
Supply Chain Visibility
Shows the complete infrastructure stack behind your email – every gateway, platform, and third party in the delivery chain. Gives you a clear picture of who touches your email and where trust is assumed but not verified.
SPF Authorisation Tree
Visualises your entire SPF authorisation chain – showing every third-party service permitted to send as your domain and flagging configuration limits that can silently break email delivery.
Email Provider Trust Scoring
Rates every email service provider in your infrastructure on a trust scale – from enterprise-grade platforms to known abuse vectors. Distinguishes between a dedicated enterprise contract and a shared-IP free tier sending email as your brand.
Abuse & Reputation Intelligence
Flags confirmed bad actors, compromised services, and known spam and phishing operations within your email chain, including blocklist presence across major reputation databases.
Multi-Audience Reporting
One assessment, two perspectives: an executive briefing for the board and a technical remediation plan for your engineers – from the same scan. Both audiences get exactly what they need to act, and both stay in sync.
Prioritised Remediation Roadmap
Every finding includes step-by-step remediation guidance, effort-classified and ordered by impact so your team starts with what matters most.
Sector-Aware Intelligence
Contextualises findings against your industry – because email security maturity in financial services looks different from healthcare or government. Your assessment reflects what's normal and what's dangerous for organisations like yours, not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Zone Delegation & Ownership Mapping
Identifies who is responsible for each part of your email infrastructure – critical for organisations with federated IT or acquired business units where security ownership is distributed.
WHAT WE ASSESS
Three Layers. Total Visibility.
Every assessment examines your organisation's email infrastructure from the same vantage point an attacker would use – externally, non-intrusively, and extensively.
Domain Analysis
Your domain security posture is assessed against international email security best practice and scored on a 0 to 100 scale with letter grading (A+ through F) in order to gage threat preparedness. Controls are tested, explained, and linked to the specific risks they mitigate.
Sub-domain Discovery
Panotect's Email Threat Intelligence assessment automatically discovers your subdomains, classifies each one by its email function, and assesses it against your primary domain. Most organisations have more email-capable subdomains than they realise – every unprotected one is a potential entry point.
Extensive Email Security Coverage
The assessment covers all aspects of email security protocols across your entire domain footprint. No control is skipped, no subdomain overlooked. You receive a complete picture of your authentication coverage and where the gaps lie.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
One Detailed Report. Two Perspectives.
Your assessment delivers findings tailored to both leadership and technical audiences – everyone gets what they need to act.
