There are a few things we don’t include as part of the service, but can provide additional assistance, either via our ad-hoc support agreements at reduced rates, or we can help at our standard hourly rates. Thes include any type of support outside the Email Security Release Requests, such as:

Billing

Billing is done monthly per licensed mailbox.

  • The Email Security Service is based on protecting all licensed mailboxes in your email tenant to avoid having any security holes in your email system.
  • The billing is automatically adjusted on a monthly basis and will include any new licensed mailboxes that have been added or removed.
  • As users start or leave, you will need to adjust your licensing on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspaces. These adjustments will in turn adjust our automatic billing based on the number of licensed mailboxes.
  • Google Workspace customers need to provision an additional license to allow the Email Security Service to protect the systems.  Office 365 gives the option to use an unlicensed mailbox, so the same does not apply.
