With SPF and DKIM set up you've taken the first steps towards becoming BIMI ready. The next step is to build on these protocols by deploying DMARC in protection mode to prevent email impersonation.

This domain meets the BIMI requirements for a DMARC policy. The next step is to obtain a VMC (Verified Mark Certificate) so that the trademarked logo will appear next to emails in inboxes. The VMC is issued by a certificate authority and ensures the legal ownership of the trademarked logo that appears next to the email. At Red Sift, we can help to guide both marketing and IT teams through all aspects of this implementation process.
