Short answer
FirstNet offers Mimecast email security in three tiers: Essentials, Resilience and Complete. FirstNet runs each one as a managed service, with onboarding, policy tuning, threat triage and escalation to Mimecast.
In detail
What each tier covers:
- Essentials: anti-spam, anti-malware and anti-phishing, with link and attachment sandboxing, plus basic awareness nudges. It is a stronger front door than built-in filters, and it suits smaller firms.
- Resilience (recommended): all of Essentials, plus protection from impersonation and business email compromise. It adds internal email protection after an account is taken over, and managed DMARC. Where contracted, it also includes email continuity and a full awareness training programme.
- Complete: all of Resilience, plus Brand Exploit Protect, Sync & Recover, web security, Large File Send and Secure Messaging. It also has a 99-year archive option and executive human-risk reports. It suits regulated or high-risk firms.
You can add archiving to any tier, with 30-day, 1-year, 7-year or 99-year retention. Continuity, archiving and awareness come only where contracted, so check the scope in your proposal.
Most mid-sized and large firms start with Resilience. They add archiving or other options when discovery shows a need.
