Meet the company

With over 30 years of experience supplying the medical industry, Numed is now in the process of branching out and extending its business to supplying dental and veterinary surgeries.

"We were very clear in what we were looking for in a DMARC partner: we needed a cost-efficient solution that didn’t skimp on usability or effectiveness. We were particularly impressed by the level of support offered by OnDMARC’s support team, and once we had completed the free trial, it was clear we’d found the product to match our requirements."

Putting cybersecurity at the top of the waiting list

Numed employs 46 workers based in the UK, all of whom conduct the majority of the company’s business with the NHS via email. As a result, Numed was faced with the need to fully guarantee three key concerns:

  1. Compliance: Numed needed to be fully compliant with the prerequisites of the UK Government’s Minimum Cyber Security Standards Framework. This framework requires all Government bodies, including the NHS, and its partners to have DMARC deployed in a protection mode so as to safeguard data and information transmitted over email.
  2. Brand Reputation: The reputation and standards expected by - and of - Numed needed to be upheld at all times. Protection should be guaranteed, in particular with the increasing likelihood of sophisticated spammers.
  3. Deliverability: Numed wanted to ensure that emails from legitimate senders would go straight to a recipient’s inbox and not their spam folder.

Finding a partner, not a supplier

Numed wanted to demonstrate to the NHS that the team was innovative and always one step ahead; it wasn’t just about finding a DMARC supplier but a true partner. Even more importantly, the interface that this partner offered needed to translate the complex DMARC reports and configuration issues into clear and concise graphs and actions. At the same time, however, it was important that the proposed solution did not come tied to onerous and expensive support contracts. For a company that aims to help the NHS reduce costs, taking on a solution that would increase its own costs was not an option. Numed reviewed multiple solutions in the market and after opting to take advantage of a free trial of Red Sift’s OnDMARC, Numed’s Head of Operations Nick Kenyon decided that it was “a no brainer”- Numed had found the perfect solution to meet the organization’s needs.
