Email that works and doesn't get you breached
Your Tenant, Fully Managed
Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or on-premise Exchange: ASG owns the tenant, the licensing, the mailboxes, the aliases, the shared boxes, and the migration if you're coming from somewhere else. Nobody at your office has to remember how any of it was set up.
Configured to Best Practice
This is the part that separates managed email from a mailbox you happen to pay for. Microsoft ships defaults, not a configuration, and ASG builds yours against security and administrative best practices, then keeps it there as the platform changes underneath you.
Layered Email Security
Spam, phishing, malicious links, and weaponized attachments stopped before they reach an inbox, in a dedicated layer rather than left to the platform's built-in filtering. Email is the channel attackers go after first, so it gets defense in depth like anything else that matters.
Is Microsoft 365's built-in filtering enough?
Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace both ship with filtering, and both stop a lot. What they don't do is cover the parts of email risk that actually reach your staff, or notice when something got through.

| Email managed by ASG | Built-in filtering alone | |
|---|---|---|
| Spam & bulk mail | Handled, plus tuned to your mail patterns | Handled reasonably well |
| Targeted phishing & impersonation | A layer built for exactly this | Inconsistent, especially for lookalike senders |
| Malicious links & attachments | Link and attachment defense in a dedicated layer | Basic scanning |
| SPF, DKIM & DMARC | Configured, aligned, and maintained | Your job, and usually unfinished |
| Encrypted email | Standard with the security solutions | A separate product to buy and train on |
| Mail during a provider outage | Continuity keeps mail flowing | You wait it out |
| Mailbox recovery | Encrypted Veeam backups you can restore from | Limited to the provider's retention window |
| Tenant configuration | Built to best practice and kept there | Microsoft's defaults, indefinitely |
| When something gets through | An engineer owns it and runs it to ground | Someone has to notice and dig in |
What else you get
Wire-Fraud Defense
The dangerous email isn't spam, it's the one that looks like your CFO asking to change payment details. Display-name spoofing and lookalike domains, caught.
SPF, DKIM & DMARC
Your sending records configured and maintained, so strangers can't send as your domain. These are routinely missing or quietly broken on environments we take over.
Encrypted Email
Encrypted mail comes standard with ASG's security solutions, so sending something sensitive to a client or an attorney doesn't require anyone to think about it first.
Mail Continuity
The security layer keeps mail flowing when your provider has an outage, so a Microsoft incident doesn't become a day your business can't be reached.
Veeam Mailbox Backup
Encrypted Veeam backups of cloud mail, because a deleted or ransomware-hit mailbox is not something a provider gets back for you. Provider retention is not a backup.
Login Hardening
Multi-factor authentication on every mailbox, plus conditional access and geo controls, so a password leaked in someone else's breach isn't enough to read your mail.
Retention & Holds
Retention, holds, and records handled through Microsoft 365 best practices and revisited as part of ongoing technology alignment, so what you keep matches expectations.
GCC & GCC High
For defense contractors and regulated clients, ASG manages Microsoft 365 GCC and GCC High tenants, the environments your contracts require for where data lives.
Joiners & Leavers
New hires get a mailbox, licensing, and access on day one. Departures get cut off, forwarded, and preserved, which is a security control as much as an HR step.
When did your IT provider last call you first?
Most IT waits for the phone to ring. ASG comes to you before there's something to call about. Here's the mechanism behind that, in writing.
Quarterly Risk Audits
Your Technology Alignment Manager (TAM) audits your environment against IT best practices and cybersecurity checks, quarterly for most clients, keeps your documentation current, and flags risk while it's still cheap to fix.
A vCIO Who Owns It
Your virtual CIO writes the policies, builds the rolling technology roadmap, and reviews risk directly with your leadership, so IT decisions get made ahead of the budget cycle instead of after an incident.
Findings Walked Through
That audit is a 317-question assessment across 46 categories. Your TAM and your vCIO each review and date every item, then the findings get walked through with you. Written in business terms, and they become next year's plan.
We'll be the most proactive partner you've ever worked with.
