Automatically screen incoming emails for spoofing and fake senders

Every incoming email is checked for spoofing, fake senders, and shady IP addresses before it lands in your inbox.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs; all paths must finish before it continues.

The problem it solves

Phishing emails that look legitimate slip past you and your team every week, and by the time you notice something is off, the damage is already done. You don't have the security tools or the time to manually trace where a suspicious email really came from.

Who it fits

IT and security teams at growing businesses that handle sensitive information over email.

How it works

  1. A new email arrives in the connected Gmail inbox
  2. The system reads the header to check SPF, DKIM, and DMARC results
  3. It pulls the sending IP address and looks up its location and reputation with IPQualityScore
  4. All the findings are combined into one clear security report
What you get

Spoofed emails caught before your inbox

Every incoming email gets checked for spoofing and shady senders automatically, keeping fake messages out of your inbox.

What you get

A consolidated report showing whether an email passed authentication checks and how trustworthy its sending IP address is.

What you need

A Gmail account and an IPQualityScore API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
