Enhanced security and brand visibility with BIMI + VMC

The ongoing development to create effective protection for email communication has reached a new level through the current standards Brand Indicators for Message Identification (BIMI) and Verified Mark Certificate (VMC).

These standards supplement DMARC and unite IT security and brand identity. Through the use of BIMI and VMC, email recipients see your logo in their email before they have opened it. This way, recipients can be confident that emails originate from you.

What is BIMI?

Brand Indicators for Message Identification (BIMI) is an emerging standard that makes it easy for organizations to display their brand logo on outgoing emails. By implementing BIMI, organizations can display their trademark protected logo to email recipients using email clients that support BIMI. The recipient will see the logo both directly in their inbox and when opening the email. This allows the recipient to feel confident about the email being authentic.

What is VMC?

Verified Mark Certificate (VMC) is a security certificate issued to your organization that allows you to use your logo in your BIMI implementation. During the issuance process of VMC, validation is performed on your organization, your domain and your right to use the logo. You need to have completed your DMARC deployment with the proper security level and secured the right to your figurative trademark in order to receive a VMC issued to your organisation.
