Email Security

Email is still an extremely common attack vector, and Microsoft 365 does not cover all aspects of security and backup. LIMA delivers complete email security, backup and awareness training through Hornetsecurity by Proofpoint.

Still the front door

Phishing was experienced by 85% of businesses that suffered a breach in the past year, and remains the most disruptive attack type reported in the government’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey. Attacks have moved past obvious fraudulent invoice requests into convincing impersonation of your suppliers, your finance director and your own domain.

There is a second problem alongside it. Microsoft does not back up your data. Nearly half of IT and security leaders assume tenant configurations are backed up automatically and 72% expect someone will restore them after an incident. Nobody will. Deleted mail, files, Teams content and SharePoint data pass their retention window and become unrecoverable, and organisations often have to learn this lesson the hard way.

One package. Total protection.

Email security is frequently sold as a base product with everything meaningful priced as a bolt-on. You end up assembling a service from components.

Hornetsecurity stacks the products, rather than splits. Each plan contains everything in the plans below it.

What’s included?

Advanced email security

AI-driven detection stopping phishing, ransomware, malware and business email compromise before it reaches your users.

Microsoft 365 backup with no storage ceiling

Automated, immutable backup for Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams, granular self-service recovery, and unlimited storage in one all-inclusive fee.

Security awareness training

Continuous, automated training and phishing simulation that adapts to each individual, with ESI reporting so you can show the board that human risk is moving in the right direction.

Permission and domain control

Visibility of who has access to what, plus protection against domain spoofing and impersonation of your brand.

Why buy it through LIMA

We are Hornetsecurity’s only UK Gold Partner and 2025 Partner of the Year, which gets you a better commercial position than going direct. The more useful part is what we do with the platform.

We have built our own preferred deployment standards for Hornetsecurity, refined across our customer base, and we apply custom rules that go beyond what the standard packages configure out of the box. We revisit and extend those rules regularly as we see how threats are changing across the organisations we protect. A Hornetsecurity tenancy deployed by LIMA is a more thoroughly configured one than a Hornetsecurity tenancy deployed to default settings, thanks to the intelligence we have gathered from years of deploying the service.

Email security also sits as part of your wider Microsoft service with us. Licensing, identity, device management, backup and email protection are all handled by the same team, so decisions get made together rather than by four suppliers who never speak.

Why choose LIMA for email security

Complete protection in a single package, deployed to a standard we have developed ourselves, from Hornetsecurity’s UK Gold Partner. Security built into how your Microsoft environment is configured, rather than bolted onto the side of it.
