Securing email for teams running
Most email security tools are set up once and never touched again
Proofpoint Essentials is one of the most effective email security platforms available for SMB — but only if it's configured correctly and maintained over time. Default settings age. Threat landscapes shift. New domains get added and forgotten. Iron Cove treats your email security configuration as an ongoing responsibility, not a one-time project.
Everything your Proofpoint Essentials environment needs — handled
From first configuration to monthly policy reviews, Iron Cove owns your Proofpoint Essentials environment. Setup is included. Migration is included. Ongoing management is included.
Initial Setup & Configuration
We configure your Proofpoint Essentials org from scratch — MX routing, inbound/outbound filtering policies, allow/block lists, and quarantine digest settings. Done in 24–48 hours, not weeks.
Migration from Legacy Platforms
Moving from Mimecast, Barracuda, Sophos, or native Exchange/Google filtering? We extract your existing policies, rebuild them in Proofpoint Essentials, and cut over with zero gap in protection.
Policy Management
Email security policies drift over time. We own your Proofpoint Essentials policy configuration — spam thresholds, sandboxing rules, URL defense settings, and exception management.
Ongoing Administration
License management, user provisioning, domain additions, quarantine reviews, and reporting. We handle the day-to-day so your IT team isn't spending time on email security queues.
End-User Quarantine Support
We field end-user quarantine questions, release or block requests, and digest troubleshooting. Users get help fast — not a ticket that sits for two days.
Reporting & Threat Reviews
Monthly threat summaries showing blocked attacks, false positive rates, and policy performance. We flag anomalies and tune your configuration before problems surface.
Moving to Proofpoint Essentials from another platform?
We've migrated organizations from every major email security platform. Your existing policies come with you — rebuilt in Proofpoint Essentials before the first email routes through it.
Mimecast
Policy export, allow/block list migration, URL rewriting cutover
Barracuda
Filter rules, quarantine settings, domain-level policies rebuilt in Proofpoint
Sophos Email
Threat policy mapping, sandbox configuration, clean handoff
Microsoft Defender
Layered or replacement deployment, MX reconfiguration, anti-spam tuning
Google Spam Filter
MX routing change, inbound gateway setup, user training on quarantine digest
No Current Tool
Net-new setup with policy baseline built around your org's risk profile
From audit to active protection in five steps
Whether you're setting up Proofpoint Essentials for the first time or migrating from another platform, every Iron Cove engagement follows the same proven process.
Email Security Audit
We review your current email security posture — existing platform, threat volume, false positive rate, compliance requirements, and any known gaps before we touch anything.
License & Tier Selection
Proofpoint Essentials has four tiers (Business, Advanced, Advanced Plus, Professional Plus). We match you to the right tier based on what your org actually needs — not the most expensive option.
Configuration & Policy Build
MX records, inbound/outbound filtering, sandboxing, URL defense, impersonation protection, encryption, and quarantine digest — all configured before the first email routes through Proofpoint.
Migration & Cutover
We run parallel delivery during the transition window, validate filtering performance, then cut MX records over. Your users notice nothing except fewer spam and phishing emails.
Ongoing Management
Monthly policy reviews, license reconciliation, threat reporting, and end-user support. You have a direct line to us — not a support ticket queue.
We sell Proofpoint Essentials and we run it — for many customers
Most resellers hand you a license and a knowledge base article. Iron Cove configures your environment, migrates your existing policies, and manages it month to month. That's the difference between buying email security and having it.
Proofpoint Essentials Reseller
We provision licenses directly. All four tiers — Business, Advanced, Advanced Plus, and Professional Plus. No markup surprises; renewals managed automatically.
Policy Management Is Ongoing, Not One-Time
Email security policies need tuning as your org changes. We review and adjust monthly — threat thresholds, sender exceptions, domain lists, and sandboxing rules.
Works with M365 and Google Workspace
We've configured Proofpoint Essentials as an inbound gateway for both Exchange Online and Google Workspace. The MX routing, connector setup, and SCL configuration are all handled correctly.
Direct Line, No Ticket Queue
You reach the engineer who manages your environment — not a shared inbox. End-user quarantine questions, policy change requests, and new domain additions are handled same day.
