DMARC Consultation
DMARC Consultation
Targeted for specific questions and challenges
Flexible expert help for teams that need answers, guidance, and progress without a full deployment engagement.
Sometimes you have a specific technical problem, a configuration decision that needs a second opinion, or a question that your team can’t answer confidently. Our Consultation Services give you direct access to DMARC expertise on a prepaid, hourly basis so you can resolve specific issues without committing to a larger project.
Who This Is For
Consultation is the right fit if:
- Your organization has DMARC knowledge but encounters specific technical challenges that need expert input.
- You’re inheriting a DMARC environment and need help understanding it.
- You have a targeted question that needs a conversation, not documentation.
- You’ve had DMARC issues in the past and want expert review before making changes.
- You need DMARC guidance but don’t have budget or scope for a full deployment engagement right now.
If you’re new to DMARC and need a structured starting point, Onboarding will give you more for the same investment. If your environment is complex and you need ongoing project management to move your policy forward, Deployment is likely the better fit. If you need help managing DMARC-related incidents and data reviews, our Support offerings will help.
Let’s talk and we’ll tell you honestly which one makes sense.
How Consultation Works
Prepaid in four-hour blocks
You purchase time in four-hour blocks. Those hours are yours to use as needed: for specific questions, a review session, a troubleshooting call, or whatever your situation requires. No retainer, no ongoing commitment, no clock running when you don’t have a need.
Access to genuine DMARC expertise
You’re not getting a support ticket or a generic answer pulled from documentation. Consultation connects you with dmarcian experts who work with DMARC daily and know the details of your environment.
Grounded in your data
Consultation is most effective and accurate when your dmarcian expert can see what’s actually happening in your DMARC reporting. Working through the dmarcian platform means advice is grounded in your real situation and data, not generalities.
How to use Consultation Time
- Configuration review. Have an expert review your current SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configuration and identify issues before they cause problems.
- Policy advancement planning. You’re working toward p=quarantine or p=reject and need an expert to walk through what the data is telling you.
- Troubleshooting specific failures. A sending source is failing authentication and you need help diagnosing the issue.
- Third-party sender onboarding. A new service needs to be authenticated correctly and you want to do it right the first time.
- Pre-enforcement review. Before moving your policy to enforcement, you’d like an expert to confirm you’re ready.
- Compliance documentation. You need to document your DMARC posture for an audit, insurer, or compliance requirement.
A Note on Accurate Scoping
Consultation is cost-effective when the challenge is well-defined. If you find that your situation requires more hours than anticipated, we’ll tell you before you burn through time blocks unnecessarily. If your needs have grown to the point where a Deployment engagement would be more efficient, we’ll make that case clearly and let you decide.
We’d rather have that conversation than watch you spend money on the wrong service.
