Get Mimecast Configured Right the First Time
Implementation, Integration & Best Practice Setup
Email Security Done Right From Day One
Rolling out Mimecast is more than just switching it on. If implementation is rushed or misaligned with your internal systems, the result is often increased operational burden, incomplete protection, and a poor user experience.
Many teams inherit half-finished or poorly scoped deployments—mail flow rules that conflict, policies that don't reflect risk appetite, or legacy configurations that introduce blind spots. We've seen it lead to gaps in coverage, missed phishing detection, and difficult-to-unpick mail routing issues.
“A 2023 review of UK public sector email deployments found misconfigured email gateways in over 20% of cases, with inconsistent SPF/DKIM/DMARC enforcement and no TLS fallback. That's not just a technical problem—it's reputational risk and lost resilience.”
What Good Looks Like
- Mail flow is clean, auditable, and predictable
- Threat protection policies align with your actual risks
- Internal processes are mirrored in routing and journaling
- User onboarding and awareness are frictionless
- Logging and reporting are meaningful and ready for review
- Key compliance obligations are met from day one
You're not just "up and running"—you're secure, aligned, and set up for long-term value.
What It Takes to Get There
- A clear, tailored deployment plan that maps to your architecture
- Informed decisions on routing models, integration points, and authentication settings
- Secure configuration of inbound and outbound policies
- Awareness of compliance requirements, especially for journaling and archiving
- Guidance on admin delegation, roles, and workflow alignment
- Proactive consideration of future changes—like cloud migrations, domain changes, or acquisitions
How Cydaura Helps
We work as an extension of your team—former Mimecast consultants who know how to get it right from the outset. Because we're independent, we focus entirely on your environment and needs—not a quota or sales target.
Here's how we typically support a best-practice implementation:
- Discovery: Map out your current mail infrastructure, compliance obligations, and team responsibilities
- Design: Propose a setup that accounts for routing, journaling, TLS enforcement, and risk-based policies
- Implementation: Deploy and validate Mimecast configuration using a repeatable, well-documented process
- Handover & Coaching: Train your admins, document your environment, and make future scaling easier
“One FTSE 250 client came to us with a partially deployed Mimecast instance inherited during an IT restructure. We re-architected the mail flow, cleaned up policy sprawl, and brought the configuration into alignment with their hybrid Exchange/O365 setup—all without disruption to users.”
