The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has discontinued its DMARC reporting service, leaving schools vulnerable to phishing and spoofing attacks without a clear way to monitor their email authentication. For IT and network managers, this creates a new challenge: how can schools ensure their domains are safeguarded without the insights DMARC reports provide?
Enter Sendmarc – a solution designed to make email security straightforward and effective.
Why email security matters for schools
Phishing attacks often target schools because of their sensitive data and critical role in communities. Malicious actors exploit gaps in email authentication, impersonating school domains to target parents, staff, and suppliers. DMARC helps prevent this – but only if implemented and monitored effectively. Without the NCSC’s service, schools may find it harder to keep track of potential vulnerabilities.
