MailBond™ adds real-time threat intelligence directly inside Microsoft Outlook — scanning links, attachments, QR codes, image-only lures, sender authentication, and look-alike domains in seconds. No MX changes. Deploy in minutes.
91% of cyberattacks begin with a phishing email. Financial institutions now face QR-code phishing, image-only lures, brand look-alikes, and social-engineering attacks that bypass traditional gateway filters.

MailBond™ doesn't rely on a single technique. Every scan runs independent detection engines for links, QR codes, image text, sender authentication, social engineering, and visual risk explanation.
MailBond evaluates suspicious links at scan time using layered reputation, redirect, and impersonation signals so users get a clear verdict before they click.
MailBond looks for QR-based lures in message content and supported attachments, then treats discovered destinations with the same caution as visible links.
Uses available sender-authentication signals to help identify spoofed domains and forged sender identities before your team is exposed.
Sender and infrastructure signals help flag suspicious delivery patterns, unusual origins, and messages that deserve extra scrutiny.
MailBond reviews visible text, image-only lures, and common social-engineering patterns so users see the risk context in plain language.
Potentially risky destinations are checked against trusted threat-intelligence sources without sending email bodies or attachment content to those services.
Dangerous flags appear as bold red bubbles, suspicious indicators as orange bubbles, and low-context observations as gray chips so users see why an email is risky.
Security teams see scan history, risk trends, per-user activity, org-wide sender blocks, and customer exports for compliance and response workflows.
MailBond works where your team works — directly inside Microsoft Outlook. No switching tabs, no separate portals.
An employee receives an email with links or attachments that seem unusual. Instead of guessing, they click the MailBond button in their Outlook toolbar.
MailBond checks links, supported attachments, image-based lures, sender signals, and social-engineering context using a layered cloud analysis workflow.
A clear report appears with a 0-100 score, red/orange/gray risk bubbles, decoded QR payloads, link verdicts, authentication results, and a visual map of the email.
Traditional email gateways operate at the perimeter. MailBond adds a critical last-mile defense layer directly at the point of click.

No hidden fees. No per-incident charges. Predictable cost that scales with your organization.
Designed with regulated teams in mind. Audit logs, 90-day minimized scan history, customer exports, and per-user reporting help support security and examiner inquiries.
Runs on Microsoft Azure with encrypted storage, automated backups, monitoring, and inherited Azure platform compliance controls.
One Outlook button returns a plain-language report with red, orange, and gray risk bubbles. Users understand the concern without reading a security report.
Most organizations are up and running in under 15 minutes. MailBond is deployed through Microsoft 365 admin center — no MX record changes, no gateway reconfiguration, no agents to install on endpoints.
No — MailBond is designed to complement your existing stack. It adds a user-facing last-mile defense layer that works alongside Microsoft Defender, Proofpoint, Mimecast, or any gateway solution. Think of it as the safety net after everything else.
MailBond supports Outlook on the web, Outlook on Windows (new and classic), Outlook on Mac, and Outlook on iOS/Android. Mobile users receive inline scan results with a safe visual preview and tappable link hotspots. Some advanced features like email header analysis require desktop or web Outlook.
MailBond uses the ReadItem permission only — it can read the currently selected email's content, links, attachments, and headers. It cannot access your mailbox, send emails, or modify anything. Each scan request is ephemeral: content is validated, analyzed, returned as a verdict, and destroyed. Only minimized scan metadata is retained for up to 90 days to power your dashboard, audit log, scan history, and export features.
Yes. MailBond was designed with financial institutions in mind. We provide audit logs, scan history exports, per-user analytics, org-wide sender controls, and clear data retention controls. Request content is not persisted; minimized scan metadata is retained for up to 90 days, can be exported before purge, and can be deleted on request. Our infrastructure runs on Microsoft Azure, which maintains SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications for covered Azure services; MailBond does not currently hold its own SOC 2 attestation.
Yes. Users can scan any email in their inbox on demand by clicking the MailBond button in the Outlook ribbon. This is particularly valuable for emails that bypass gateway filters or internal phishing simulations.
Pricing is per user per month, billed annually. You only pay for users who need access to the add-in. Volume discounts are available for organizations with 200+ users.
