The problem

Organizations with global operations face complex data residency laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, local regulations in Germany, Australia). Email, as a primary communication channel, must adhere to these rules, especially when involving sensitive customer or employee data. A DMARC failure or spoofing incident could lead to data being mishandled or perceived as originating from an unauthorized source, triggering compliance violations and significant legal repercussions in multiple jurisdictions.

The challenge intensifies when managing email delivery through various cloud providers and regional data centers, each with its own IP ranges and configurations. IT teams struggle to manually track DMARC aggregate reports from these geographically dispersed sources, making it difficult to ensure consistent authentication and policy enforcement. This fragmented visibility risks non-compliance with local data residency and security mandates, exposing the business to international fines and reputational damage.

Monitor DMARC alignment for email sources across all your global regions and cloud providers, supporting data residency compliance.

Frequently asked questions

How does DMARC relate to data residency laws for email?

While DMARC doesn't store email content, it verifies sender authenticity. Ensuring that only authorized services send emails from your domain helps prevent data exfiltration via spoofing, which is a key aspect of data protection under residency laws.

Can Aligned help us see which regional email platforms are compliant?

Yes, Aligned parses the source IP addresses and domains from DMARC reports, allowing you to identify the specific regional email platforms and their DMARC alignment status, aiding in regional compliance efforts.

Is Aligned itself compliant with data residency requirements?

Aligned processes DMARC aggregate report metadata. Our infrastructure is hosted with providers that adhere to international data security standards, and we do not store email content, focusing solely on sender authentication data.
